I try to buy organic when I can, but sometimes I can't justify it. I used to buy organic chicken exclusively, but at $7 a pound, I can no longer justify it, so I just buy the $3 a pound "regular" chicken. There are some things I refuse to buy non-organic; like ketchup (because it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup and is no more expensive) and dill pickles. (Did you know, that pickles like Vlassic have a crap ton of yellow dye in them to make them that neon color? Who needs that?) The pickles ARE that much more expensive (I think they are $5 a jar), but they are tasty, a good little snack for basically no calories, and Hubs likes them.
