I made a dirty dozen pocket guide that you can print out. I keep mine in my wallet. When I’m grocery shopping at Safeway, I check the produce I need against the list and purchase the dirty dozen in organic. If the item isn’t available in organic or is a big price difference, I wait until my next trip to the Common Market or skip it all together. I hope you find it useful.
