I love the Co-op! My sister works here (go see Rita in the juice bar for a delicious treat while shopping) so she has helped me navigate the store with ease. I don't shop here for everything because it's true, it's expensive but I love to get my fresh fruits and veggies, dairy and sometimes meat. The staff is helpful and the store is clean. I have been turned on to ginger shots (pure ginger, try it!) and I love the Green Zinger from the juice bar! First Wednesday of the month is Wellness Wednesday and all owners (members) receive an additional 10% off all of their health products! So great!
Yes, there is an additional charge on purchases if you're a non member but it is clearly stated and the benefits of being an owner far outweigh the small fee to join!
Try it, you'll like it
