Bulk Food Facts

Bulk foods provide a savings to the consumer of 30% to 60%. Packaging and promotion can be a significant contributor to food cost.

On Board With Bulk

You can make a big difference in your family’s food budget, and a big difference in the impact you make on the environment, by simply buying bulk foods whenever possible.

Retailers

Packaged food goods require significantly more transportation to bring to shelf. The manufacture of packages pulls trees from our forests, dumps contaminated water into our streams, uses enormous amounts of energy and shoots tons of CO2 into our atmosphere. Plus, packaging is a burden on our landfills. With bulk foods, you’ll be a better environmental citizen!
