How to: Shelf Tag

4 Ways to Save

1.) Basics

Basic goods at basic prices. Look for the purple tags to find every day low prices on top-quality products. You’re not likely to find these items for less anywhere else in town.

2.) Coupons

Co+op coupons are offered by the National Cooperative of Grocers (NCG). The collective strength of hundreds of co-ops across the country give NCG the buying power to offer our customers significant savings on great organic groceries.

3.) Deals

Once a month, our Local Deals flyer features sales on your favorite local items. Our monthly Owner Deals flyer highlights favorites that only Owners can save on. Every week we publish a new Fresh Deals flyer with great savings on meat, dairy, produce & prepared foods, plus NCG’s Co+op Deals flyer has savings on dozens of center store products!

4.) Buying Club

Our self-serve buying club allows Owners to browse the catalog of items offered by our biggest distributor (UNFI), order in large quantities and enjoy significant savings from retail prices. You can even order products we don’t carry in our store!
