If you tend to pass over the bulk bins in our stores, it’s time to give them another look. When you do, you’ll find you can enjoy lower prices on many items in our bulk bins. Look for our latest selection of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, candy, grains, beans, trail mixes — and best of all, you can scoop as much or as little as you like. What else can you buy in bulk? All kinds of things: rice, flours, pasta, soup mixes, cereals, trail mixes, sweeteners — and don’t forget snacks and treats. Here are four reasons we love shopping the bulk bins.
1. Reduce waste.
Buy only what you need for recipes and avoid extra packaging too — definitely something to keep in mind year-round.
2. Save money.
Buying only what you need means only paying for what you need, so you’re instantly saving by shopping the bulk bins.
3. Try new combinations.
Try new and unfamiliar ingredients without committing to large bags of food that may expire in the back of your pantry. For one, playing with different flours in your favorite recipes can create unexpected new flavors, aromas and textures. You can also mix and match your favorite nuts, seeds, dried fruit and more for DIY snack mix.
4. Enjoy better ingredients.
We sell a lot of bulk foods, so you know the items in our bins haven't been sitting around long enough to go stale. Plus, everything here follows our food ingredient standards. We don't allow hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrup or sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose or saccharin in any of our bulk foods.
