Amy Dacyczyn, author of the 1990s wildly popular The Tightwad Gazette , once remarked that frugal living is often synonymous with green living. If you’re frugal, you’ll likely take steps to save money such as not using disposable products like paper napkins and paper towels. Of course, this makes sense.

Finding ways to fit organic foods into your budget is really not much different than any other endeavor of frugality. At the grocery store where I shop, organic celery only costs about 40 cents more than the non-organic celery when it’s in season. If you shop at one of these stores, buy your organic food in bulk.

For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. Sometimes, as we shop we see things we would like to own and decide to treat ourselves with a gift or two as well. I always shop for Christmas wrapping paper, gift tags, boxes and really nice ornaments the week after Christmas.
