Most important foods to buy organic?

[monkapotapus]

Hi,
I'm just starting today and like a lot of people, I'm on a budget.

I would like to know which foods are most important to buy organic and which ones I can get away with conventional?

I did a search......and it seemed like almost everything was on the "buy organic" list.

Just wondering what everyone does?

Thanks! :D

Good list. Organic grapes would be top of my list--they are one of the most highly sprayed of anything. Rarely pay extra for organic Avos as they really aren't sprayed.

I can especially taste a big difference between organic and conventional in:

cucumbers
tomotoes
carrots
bananas

Glad you asked this question. Got me thinking of items I now buy organic and why. Some things are worth paying extra for.
