Organic Boxes Save Costs
Organic boxes can actually save you money as well as save the planet, according to the Manchester Evening News. A recent article suggests that many people are cutting back on buying organic in supermarkets and are looking round for cheaper solutions.
Organic Boxes – 5 ways they save you money
Organic boxes are one way of continuing to eat well whilst still saving a few pounds.
- You still get healthy organic produce but don’t pay a hefty supermarket premium.
- Produce is often locally sourced so uses few food miles. Who do you think pays for all those transportation costs?
- It’s usually fresher than anything you find in the supermarkets and so it keeps better, meaning less waste at the end of the week.
- Your box will be full of seasonal produce which will still have its maximum nutritional value – more vitamins for your money.
- There are no nasty surprises at the checkout. Your bill is the same from week to week so it’s easier to plan your spending.
Abel and Cole – “hundreds of new customers every week”
Ella Heeks from Abel and Cole, one of the major delivery services for organic boxes says that although some people are feeling the pinch many are still making organic food a priority
“A lot of people are feeling the pinch financially and it’s definitely a challenge for businesses at the moment, but we’re still welcoming hundreds of new customers every week”
Ella thinks this is because people are returning to home cooking and re-learning the art of planning a week’s meals for the family rather than relying on expensive takeaways and cook chill meals.
So if you want an affordable treat that helps to keep your family healthy then organic boxes are a great idea.
