Morals vs. Money: How to be a socially conscious consumer while still being budget savvy

There are many natural stores and specialty stores which cater to the yoga-doing, carbon-footprint-reducing, GMO-boycotting types of people which have a plethora of tempting options but which also cost a plethora of money. I have had a request for an entry on how to be a socially conscious consumer while still being budget savvy so here is my attempt at addressing this clash of morals vs. money.

Socially conscious consumerism may refer to animal rights, environmentalism, human rights or any other cause which drives a person to change their economic impact via product purchasing in order to beneficially impact their cause. Let's face it, not all of us socially conscious consumers are able to spend hundreds of dollars on groceries each week due to various reasons. Some may be in school and dealing with educational expenses, others may have low-income jobs or some (like me) may be right in between school and jobs and have barely any budget at all. Whatever the reason, budget friendly and socially conscious products should be an option for everyone.

Next post I will be discussing budget friendly and socially conscious makeup options.

Stay Tuned!
