In my experience, the best way to consistently find low prices on my organic grocery staples is online. That said, I do have some tips for maximizing the value you get from ordering organic food online. If you do it well, you can find your favorite organic groceries, including pantry staples and organic meat at the lowest prices.

Go for free shipping — Pay attention to the minimum for free shipping and wait to order until you have met the minimum. Get free stuff — Some companies offer free products with a minimum purchase.

This can be a fun way to try something new! See below for some of the freebies I have received from Thrive Market over the years!

Focus on non-perishables — Most of the organic groceries I order online are non-perishable, shelf-stable products. Purchasing produce or other perishable products is a bit trickier and I prefer to pick my fresh produce out myself.

That said, I do purchase organic and sustainable meat online through both ButcherBox and Thrive Market see below for more details. And especially if you are ordering perishables, make sure the packaging is sufficient to keep products cold until you arrive home.

As buying food online has become more and more common, the number of companies wanting to get in on the action has skyrocketed. In my opinion, these are the best organic food companies to buy from online.

For the purpose of evaluation, I did cost comparisons on the organic version of some typical pantry items like rice, olive oil, coconut oil, peanut butter, honey and granola. To be honest, I found that many prices were similar among the online stores that I compared. Ultimately, the best option for you will depend on the products you are looking for and your reasons for purchasing online in the first place.

The company used to be called Imperfect Produce but have since branched out into other food categories. Products are delivered locally and are not available in every market. I get an order from Imperfect Foods about every other week. If you are looking for cheaper organic food, Imperfect Foods is a great solution!

Organic produce may have higher levels of certain antioxidants and flavonoids. Organic meat, dairy and eggs have been shown to have higher concentrations of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Food grown following organic practices is better for the environment in a few ways.

Organic agriculture prohibits the use of petroleum-based fertilizers, which keeps toxic run-off out of the water supply.

Because of the more labor intensive processes, foods grown organically can be more expensive than conventional foods. However, it is possible to find good deals by shopping wisely, purchasing organic foods in bulk and opting for organic private label groceries.
