Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: bulk buying

[Sharon Miller (slmiller.325]

Sharingwood in Snohomish Washington purchases food in bulk fr UNFI (United 
National Foods Inc) and Cosco and then sells at cost to residents. We have a 
pantry stocked w basic baking and food stuff, spices, paper goods, etc., a 
refrigerator for eggs and dairy, and a freezer for bread and meats. Residents 
enter purchases in the pantry book and are charged once a month. Orders fr 
individuals are also available from UNFI (they have a minimum purchase amount, 
so orders are submitted collectively).
