My Organic Goals - Is it really cheaper?! or just healthier?

I am in the midst of trying to make more natural and organic food choices for our family. I like knowing what goes into our food, but I don't have all the time in the world to spend in the kitchen.

So, here are a few options that I am looking into. My kids LOVE peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and are quite content to eat them daily for lunch. So, as something that is eaten daily, I came across this peanut butter maker on Amazon.

In order to figure out if this would be more cost effective, I need to look into the cost of organic/natural shelled peanuts. I don't think I would take the time to shell the peanuts to make the butter... However, I think I could probably make up a jar so that I'm not making peanut butter every day. What do you think? Does anyone out there have one of these? Do you like it?

Another organic idea I've been wanting to do for over a year is to buy a wheat grinder and make our own flour for breads, muffins, pancakes, etc. It seems to be the rage in my friend-circle, and I love the "reviews" they've given me on the taste and health benefits it brings.
So, here's my top pick for a wheat grinder.

Yikes! Do you see the price?! I'll be saving for this for a while...

And yet another great way to save on a family favorite snack is by making our own yogurt. I know there are different ways to go about this, but I came across this gadget that will make 8 jars of yogurt at a time. I love the ease of serving when ready. My kids will still feel like it's store-bought yogurt, but so much healthier!

Do you have organic/healthy goals for your family? I'd love to hear about them. Please share in a comment!
