Ep. 157 | Plant-Based Fact or Myth: Buying Organic Fruits and Vegetables Will Always Be More Expensive

podcast episodes May 12, 2026
plant-based foods, fruits and vegetables

Do you go grocery shopping and intentionally steer clear of the organic produce section? Maybe you’re retired and money is tight, so you feel you can’t afford to buy anything organic. After all, the organic product option is definitely going to be more expensive…right?

Not quite. Let’s save some money together. In this episode, we’ll talk about buying fruits and vegetables organic. Let’s see if it’s a fact or myth that organically grown produce will always be way more expensive than conventionally grown versions. I want to help you shop with confidence and enjoy plant-based eating more on a budget. Listen in!
