I tried to give Alex organic whenever possible and within my budget. Sometimes organic produce is only slightly costlier than the commercial produce, then why not? I find that esp. the fruits, it's sweeter and taste much better. However I definitely stop short at expensive items. Like a kilo of organic potatoes costs $21, 10X more expensive which is ridiculous. Of course it's not neccessary to buy organic all the time too. For e.g. hard shell fruit like avocado, don't have to be organic. I also don't buy organic meat for him, coz it's expensive/in bulk and fresh meat will just do.
Usually I will cook his stuff in a batch and freeze them. When I cook his meals, I just pop the food into the porridge and presto! A meal is whipped up in no time. It's only during weekend when we are always out for the whole day, I give him baby food jar.
Out of all the baby food jar brands that I can find here, Only Organic is the best and Alex always finishes the food. Once I opened up one jar in church nursery and a mom commented that the food smells very good which I agreed with her. If you are wondering which flavour was that, it's Mediterranean Vegetables and Lamb. Sounds exotic, no?
Some may say that it's not necessary to give baby organic food (like my mil, LOLz). I say why not give your child a good start in life? Furthermore Alex has not been sick since he's 3mths, so I think his wholesome diet plays a part too.
