Anything with the skin that you remove before eating (ie) bananas, you do not need to buy organic. "They" suggest to buy organic apples (unless you remove the skin), berries, and lettuce. Those are the biggies. Anything that is really sprayed - like berries try to buy organic. But, I agree, when I see $7 blueberries on one shelf and a $3 bunch with more berries, it hard for me to buy organic!?! HTH
