How to Shop the Co-op
Your guide to shopping smart - economically, environmentally, & socially. The co-op strives to provide healthful foods from local providers, while at the same time offering products and services that allow shoppers to stretch their food dollar. Here are some ideas to help you shop thrifty while shopping at the co-op.
Fruits & Vegetables
Check the reduced-priced fruits and vegetables in the discounted areas of the Produce department. By paying attention to the local growing season, you can buy the best local produce, often by the case. Eat it right away, or use it for canning, drying or freezing.
Shop the Bulk Section
You can buy exactly the quantity of cereals, grains and snacks that you want without paying for expensive packaging. Also look for tea, oils, and spices in bulk quantities. Seward Co-op also allows you to control the size of your portions, from eggs to meat to several deli products. You can purchase as much - or as little - of a product as you wish.
Green Bag Program
An incentive for customers who reuse their own bags to pack their groceries. For each bag used on a shopping trip (up to five) customers are credited $0.10. Bags can be canvas, mesh, paper, plastic, etc. The kind of bag is not important, its the fact that one is reusing!
Co+op Deals, SNAP and WIC programs
The Co+op Deals program offers two-week specials on products throughout the co-op. Co+op Deals flyers are mailed to all co-op members in our bimonthly newsletter, "Sprout!," and the Twin Cities-wide publication, "The Mix." We carry SNAP- and WIC-approved products as well; look for labels on shelf tags. Seward Co-op is one of the few co-ops in the Twin Cities that accepts WIC vouchers.
