According to Consumer Reports, certain fruits and vegetables have been found to retain pesticides even after cleaning and washing. These fruits and veggies are important to buy organic.
At the regular grocery, Gerber or Earth's Best Organic fruits and veggies run 1.29-1.79 per 2 4 oz containers.
I made organic sweet potatoes, squash, carrots and portioned out some canned organic pumpkin puree - in total I got 25 4 oz containers.
If you do the math, this results in at least 5 dollars savings over Gerber Organic at the lowest sale price. This savings might be even better if I hadn't bought the vegetables at Whole Foods - they are notoriously expensive!
