Which is a shame because quite often my budget get's blown out by trying to buy packaging free rice and pasta. There is no need for the HUGE price tag for a product that has less packaging and processing costs.

I've been going to places like Ceres and Organic Wholefoods but it's so expensive and unfortunately I can't afford to buy organic all the time. I also love supporting small, local businesses so this ticks lots of boxes :) I might see you there one day!

I am not a big juice drinker myself, so I have not kept my eye out for it. Sometimes, we have filled up orange juice at farmers markets. I have not heard of vegetable milk either. The best I can suggest is to call around, ask questions and people might be able to point you in the right direction.
