Food Co-Op

What Is the Food Co-op? "Provides nutritious food at 30-50% savings through collective purchasing." You buy directly from local farmers and get fresh produce, fresh meat, and grains at a fraction of the cost.

Utah Food Co-Op

Standard Share $23
1lb Top Sirloin Fajita Strips
2lbs Chicken drumsticks
2 lb Sirloin Pork Roast (boneless)
1 lb Lean Ground Beef (85/15)
Fresh Fruits (3 varieties)
Fresh Vegetables (5 varieties)
Wheat Bread
16 oz Rice

You can do a half share, or just the fresh produce. You can also add on certain items. The best buy this month (in addition to the standard share) is the Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It's selling for $7.50/ 34 fl oz. That's SUPER cheap. The more people we can get on the Co-op bandwagon, the cheaper the prices get. Since it's all local farmers they sell directly to the co-op which means we get the produce at just a little bit above cost. Totally worth it. Check it out.

I added the link to the sidebar also. Orders have to be in by January 9th and the pick up is January 24th. My sister-in-law has two kids and does the food co-op. She spends less than $100 in groceries a month now. Sign. Me. Up. I checked around and most states have a food co-op. Just google your state and "food co-op" and it should come up.
