I seem to have a problem with milk. I can’t decide if it’s better to get free regular milk or cheap organic milk.
I often get milk coupons, usually after buying cereal. They are good for a certain amount towards a gallon of milk. I have four coupons this week, each worth $4.69 for a gallon of any milk. Normally, I use these to buy organic milk because it brings the cost from over $6/gallon to about $2/gallon.
But lately I’ve wondered if this is truly worth it. Is it better to get a premium proudct — like organic milk — at a low price? Or is it better to get a standard product — like non-organic milk — totally free?
It’s important to me to feed my family as much organic food as possible. But I’m also trying to maximize every penny at the store. So what do you think? Should I put those coupons toward the organic milk? Or should I buy the standard stuff?

organic. if it’s a necessity you were already going to buy, buying the premium for the price of regular seems the perfect score. plus, might make you feel better sticking to your choices than just giving your kids something because it’s free.
