bulk foods

Scoop-your-own goods

Bulk foods are dry goods sold loose from large containers rather than in pre-packaged units, allowing customers to scoop out whatever quantity they need: The co-op has a great bulk foods section with nuts, grains, and spices.

Buying in bulk typically reduces packaging waste and per-unit cost.

Common bulk items include rice, beans, flour, cereals, dried fruit, and candy.
