Why to Buy in Bulk


I frequently hear people saying that they cannot afford to eat “healthy”. Unfortunately it is a common misconception that “health” food has to be more expensive than “regular” food. This does not have to be the case!
One smart way to save money on whole and pure ingredients is to shop in the bulk bin section of your local grocery store. Whole Foods, and most health food stores, have an excellent selection of items available in bulk. When we buy in bulk we are not paying for expensive packaging and labeling. This is better for our budgets and our environment! The bulk section is an excellent place to stock up on whole grains, nuts, dried fruits, and much more!

Here are some of my favorite bulk bin items:

Brown Rice
Quinoa
Beans 
Steel Cut Oats
Nutritional Yeast
Almonds
Walnuts
Dates
Raisins
Goji Berries
Dried Figs
Dried Mango

*All Organic
