I still shopped there every now and then, though. After reading your post, I'm disappointed to live nowhere near a co-op anymore! I could also go through 15 lbs. of peanut butter fairly quickly. . . . I used to live within walking distance of a co-op in the last two places I lived, but I never became a member.

I looked into them awhile back b/c our options here in Evergreen were limited. Green Me~ Try http://denver.doortodoororganics.com/ but I think they may just be product.

We've had two co-ops go under here in the last few years. One was terribly organized I must say, and the other got a building with high rent, thus charged high prices, and although we may say that we'll pay more to support community based stores, in practice folks clearly were not willing to double down for the co-op. Oh well. <br/><br/>BTW -- does anyone know of a co-op that delivers? When I was in college I lived in a housing co-op and we order our groceries from a co-op that delivered to the Mountain-Desert region (NM, WY, CO) from Utah. They came once a month with a semi-loaded with bulk stuff. I've since lost track of my roommates and I don't recall the name of the business...if anyone knows, please pass the info along!<br/><br/>Thanks for your Thrifty Thursday tips! Ah, I am jealous!

We have a growers coop here but I'm not sure that they have anything other than produce. I'm going to double check that it doesn't have dry goods, and if not, I may hit a coop in a neighboring town (that I never knew about before viewing the link). Thanks! What a great link!
