Question

How much price difference use to be there between organic and conventional food?

Answer 1

Organic food are almost always more expensive then coventional food.



And I should know, I am an experience food shopper for so many years.

Answer 2

The difference you will find varies from product to product, local or non-local, in season or out-of-season, store size (chain corporation or single market local company), to name a few. I'm sure there are some generalizations to be made concerning cost. Locally grown in season products from the corner market may be 100% organic and not cost more than the larger corporation store (or less).



By becoming an educated consumer you will know what is truly a good product of good value. Government regulations have made the organic industry a confusing mess but your knowledge will guide you to the acceptable products and cut threw all the confusion, your wallet will tell you "Nay or Yeah". Take all material on the subject matter with a grain of salt and beware the pitfalls of statistics as they can be misleading and often used improperly to promote (or not) an idea or product or line of reason.

Answer 4

i work at a supermarket

prices compared for most items, varyin store to store and company to company(stop and shop, market basket, shaws)

for produce the prices are generely 50 cent to a dollar or two more, romaine hearts reg $2.29 for 3 heads compared to Org Romaine hearts $3.49



i dont know if that helps but organic is a couple dollars more exspenive, costing a $100 shop for reg, turning into a $149 for organic
