Re: Hi There

soysycophant,

even better than buying in bulk, is sharing your purchases. (with a friend, or with a coop) If you are sitting on alot of stuff, some can get old, rancid, or buggy - you need to be very careful how you store. If you have room in the fridge, that works. If not, very well sealed glass jars.

Nuts are not that mainstay a part of mb - I would go more for seeds - but again, both need to be carefully stored.

for fresh produce, see if there's a farmer's market near you - straight from the farmer, no middle man.

I wouldn't buy more than a week's worth of produce - fresh is an important factor. If you can grow anything, that would be cheaper and fresher!!!!!! Some things are easy and can just be planted in pots in the kitchen sill - chives, green onions, parsley.
