Shopping Bulk at Whole Foods Co-op
What is ‘Bulk’?
Whole Foods Co-op buys foods and other products in large (bulk) quantities, which typically arrive in very large packages. We then put these products into our bulk bins, where shoppers are able to select and purchase the amount of product that’s right for them.
Reasons to Shop Bulk
- Save money! Bulk items are typically less expensive than pre-packaged items. Plus, keep your eye out for Co+op Deals on bulk products for extra savings!
- Save space! Whether you need a pinch or a pound, you can buy only what you need from our bulk bins, helping keep your kitchen organized and clutter-free.
- Save the environment! By using reusable containers, you’re keeping a bit more packaging out of the landfill. Bring your own from home or purchase one in our store.
How to Shop Bulk

If you brought a container from home, be sure to first record the empty (tare) weight and write it on a provided sticker.
Fill a BAG OR JAR.
Buy as little or as much as you want! Fill your container using the provided scoops, funnels and/or gloves.
RECORD THE PLU #.
Write the 3-digit number on your container, sticker, or twist tie.
