When buying essential oils in the supermarket, make sure what you're getting is actually natural. Even if the words "naturally derived" are on the bottle, it means the molecular structure of the flower or plant oil was simply derived in a laboratory. Choose oils like peppermint or rosemary, which are plentiful, inexpensive and good choices for a healthy, natural scent at home.

A simple way to save money on organics is to look for them at warehouse clubs. Stores like Costco and Sam's Club are stocking more organic coffee, tea, olive oil, salad dressing and produce at bulk prices. Just be sure to buy only items you definitely will use; spoiled food -- even in bulk sizes -- just means money down the drain.

Most fragrances contain a chemical called phthalate, which helps fragrances last longer. However, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, "several studies have shown associations between phthalate exposures and human health, although no causal link has been established." So if you absolutely love your perfume and can't live without, try wearing a solid version instead. With solids, you apply the fragrance directly to where you want the scent, lessening the possible risk that spray perfumes may have.
