Hi I am very new but I understand and want to help in anyway I can if at all. Right now it is only my boyfriend and I and I am the only raw one but I still shop for the both of us. Ok here goes, Farmers markets and local food shacks (notice the word shacks) are best in my opinion. I think it ??s because they are a no frills kind of shopping. I spent $17 at the fruit shack near my home (Atlanta GA) and I got 2lbs peaches, 2 lbs of apples, a tomato or 3 and some leafy greens, and then I found organic strawberries on some kind of sale the package was a $1 each (I think no one was buying them) that is a great deal. I also went to the super market after (owned by this Asian family not a franchise) and I found a little section for $1 so being the cheapy cheap girl I am I went to see what's what.
Woohoo I got 2 packages of corn and potatoes and 2 packages of plums and there were other things but that was all I was interested in. I spent a little over $5. I hope I was some help and best of luck with your family and your shopping.
