Poorganic Splurge? What?!?
Posts where I tell you to spend lots of money are few and far between, but this is one of them, so you will probably want to read to find out what inspires me to relax my vice-like grip over our money. One of my budgeting victories was figuring out how to allocate money for…Continue reading Poorganic Splurge? What?!?
Why the Cash System is Stupid (to me).
I told you we’d managed to buy all our consumables for $500 last month, but when it came time to look at the cold hard numbers, I realize I lied. (Payday for us is once a month on the 25th, which is why we don’t operate on the “normal” month.) The problem is, I don’t…Continue reading Why the Cash System is Stupid (to me).
The Poorganic Voice in My Head
Do you ever feel like the process of eating real foods on a budget is making you insane? No, I’m not kidding. I mean, for real, like the whole process of deciding what to buy might be making you into a crazy lady?

Nicheless but with Atmosphere
I want to start by thanking those of you who answered my question about why you read this blog. What an encouragement!! As I expressed in that post, I have struggled about whether or not to continue writing about real food.

How to find Rest
Remember how in the last post I said I was tired? Well, I have been. And I’ve been a little depressed too.

Still on Track for the 500 dollar month?
There is a question at the end of this post that I’d LOVE for you to answer. Will you? As is often the case when I commit to giving you daily insights into my life, I have failed because, let’s just face it. You don’t really care that much AND after the third or fourth…Continue reading Still on Track for the 500 dollar month?

$205 Left 21 Days to Go
Here’s the truth. I don’t know how I used to do $85-$100 a week for poorganic food. I’m guessing that all my kids have increased their eating by a TON because we are spending this money pretty quick. I’ve been alternating between vegetarian and meatless dishes and including lots of eggs and bean dishes, but…Continue reading $205 Left 21 Days to Go
The Poorganic Pizza AND VLOG
I am about to give you two things that you will be forever grateful for . . . maybe. 1. My pizza recipe, which is the best EVER. My husband married me, largely for the strength of my pizza making skills. These two pizzas probably cost about $10 total to make. 2. A real life…Continue reading The Poorganic Pizza AND VLOG
