Shopping at stores like Costco can save you about 20 percent on your organic purchases, but shop wisely: Throwing away uneaten perishables is like throwing money in the trash. Try stocking up on long-lasting organics like Costco's Kirkland organic olive oil, which is $14 for 51 ounces. Other warehouse club staples at bargain basement prices: whole organic chicken ($2.29 a pound); five pounds of organic mixed veggies ($5.59); and 10 pounds of whole organic carrots ($6.49). Compare that to supermarket prices: organic chicken is $3.99 a pound; it's $14 for five pounds of organic mixed veggies; and 10 pounds of organic carrots cost $10.
