Organic food products aren't just limited to health food stores, supermarkets or gourmet shops. You can find discounted organic food products from produce to pasta at big-box stores like Target, which carries more than 700 organic items. These stores also accept coupons and promotional sales on organic items, which could mean even greater savings for you. And remember to bring your reusable grocery bag with you for a small discount at the register.

According to the United States Agriculture Department, the average U.S. household throws out approximately 470 pounds, or $600, of food ever year. You can help prevent spoilage by keeping certain fruits and vegetables separate from each other. Many fruits emit ethylene, an odorless gas that quickens the ripening process. Keep fruits with lots of the gas -- like apples, avocados, bananas, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums and tomatoes -- separate from other produce to extend shelf life.

Here's a fun upcycling project to do with kids: Grab old milk cartons, oatmeal containers and food boxes, and turn them into craft supply organizers. Coat the outside with two light layers of chalkboard paint from the craft store and decorate away with chalk on the front. The chalkboard paint will hide any markings on the containers and give them a uniform look to display in your kids' rooms.
