Ways to Save
As a community-owned market, we aim to be accessible to people of all income levels. Below are four great ways to save money at the store. Everyone is welcome to shop at the Co-op; you don't need to be a Member-Owner to enjoy our sweet selection of local, organic, and natural products.
SALES
Look for the green signs!
Every 2-3 weeks, we have a new Co+op Deals flyer at the front of the store, outlining the great sales we have available to everyone. You can also just look for the green signs around the store.
BASICS

Co+op Basics is our everyday low cost program, available to everyone, that offers ongoing value prices on many popular grocery and household items. From milk to beef to cereal, you’ll find low prices on many of your favorite products.
