The Environmental Working group of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has listed the foods most likely to contain toxic pesticides. If you have to prioritize, these are the ones to seek out of the organic section (in order): apples, celery, strawberries, peaches, spinach, nectarines, grapes, bell peppers, potatoes, lettuce, blueberries, and kale. Of course, the more organic, the better, but it is not easy to be perfect.
