I am a college student on a very tight budget. I would really like to eat locally and more organic, but it is so much more expensive than shopping at Safeway or Fred Meyer. I've tried Trader Joes and several other stores around Portland, but I always seem to spend more money when I shop at these stores.

I think shopping locally is the first step for people like me to being healthier and more "sustainable."

Can anyone offer tips or information on how to shop locally without breaking the bank?
