5 tips to go organic on a budget
Buying organic is better for the health of us, our wildlife, and our environment. But choosing organic foods over non-organic can often add a lot more to our weekly food bills. These 5 handy tips will help you to eat organic without breaking the bank!
Grow your own food
This is not as difficult as you might think! You don’t need very green fingers or even a garden to grow your own food. All you need is a sunny window, some seed trays, and a little patience. Cress and mustard seed are a good place to start. If you’re feeling more confident, tomato and pepper seeds are easy to grow at home. Grow bags are brilliant for root vegetables and won't need too much space. You can even grow your very own organic herb garden!
Get seasonal
Buying organic produce that’s in season will cut the cost of your weekly shop. A quick search on the internet will bring up a whole bunch of helpful sites that not only tell you what is in season but also suggest some simple recipes for you to try. Don’t be put off by foods that you wouldn’t normally buy. Seasonal shopping can open up a whole world of new possibilities that you might never have known about!
Visit your local food market
Find out where and when your local farmers market is held. A cheeky little tip here is to go towards the end of the day when produce is going a little cheaper!
Buy in bulk
Obviously this won’t work for everything, but you can save money on organic items like rice, sugar, pasta, coffee and (ahem!) toothpaste by buying in bulk. Minty bundle anyone?
Know your ‘Clean 15’ and your ‘Dirty Dozen'
It could be difficult to make the switch to an organic lifestyle overnight, so it's a good idea to start small.

from 1883 reviewsFast delivery, good product. Actually better than I initially expected. Thank you

This toothpaste leaves my mouth feeling so fresh and my teeth so clean, love it!!!! And best of all no plastic waste.

Love the taste of all of the products. I always have a lovely clean, fresh mouth after brushing, plus there's no nasties in there to annoy your mouth - my gums have never been in such good condition

Really love this toothpaste, although should be a spatula in every box. Can get a bit sloppy just dipping in toothbrush. Also absolutely LOVE the repair mask. Have really felt a difference in my teeth very quickly.

I used the Enamel repair for two weeks and by week 2 when I flossed my gums didn’t bleed, I’m so happy thank you

I have been using this toothpaste for some time now and I am very pleased with the results. A tiny amount cleans, removes plaque and freshens your mouth. The jar lasts ages so is good value for money. I would recommend Truthpaste.

I have used this for 5 days & my teeth feel smoother & less sensitive already - I love it ❤

I admitted to my dentist what toothpaste I’m using this morning and she FREAKED out because of the no fluoride. I said to her, I’ve been using it for about 18 months, look at my notes and tell me what you see - I’d been in with the hygienist before and she went “oh - you got a gold star” and “you had 30% bleeding before and now none” So she then said you’ll be getting minor decay that we can’t see, lets do xrays to check - she said if there’s nothing on the xrays you win. Xrays perfect. Truthpaste wins.

I've been using this for almost 3 weeks and it is working well. My teeth are nowhere near as sensitive and they feel so smooth. I think it needs a bit longer for the whiteness to take effect but I am definitely going to keep using this. Thank you.

Amazing product! Cant live without it! Highly recommend!

Natural ingredients, recyclable or upcyclable containers, generous content - delivered almost before I ordered - it was so quick
I won’t be buying my toothpaste from anyone else.

If you want fresh breath with the added bonus of probiotics then this is the mouthwash for you. It’s so powerful my breath makes my wife’s eyes sting after I’ve used it! No more stinky morning breath for me 😂

Swapped to Truth Paste a few years ago. The taste does take a little while to get used too but it’s such a fantastic product I would never switch back to brushing my teeth with poison ever again.

I’ve been round the houses on a plastic free toothpaste alternative. The litmus test for whether it’s good is whether the kids are okay using it. With this one, they are. I have a bit of sensitivity, which this one helps with.

Love this natural toothbrush, my teeth feel really clean after brushing.
