Frugal Friday – Micro Co-ops
Friday, September 11, 2015
Each day it seems like food prices go up. We are all trying to find ways to save a bit here and there on the foods we purchase. Food co-ops are a great way to lower food costs by taking advantage of bulk buying. But, what if there aren’t any food co-ops in your area, or what if you don’t need or can’t store a 50 pound bag of rice? Well, you could start your very own “micro co-op” with family and friends, and reap big savings.
Here’s how it works:
- Gather a group of frugal minded people together who want to share in the purchasing of bulk items.
- Buy large quantities (like 25- or 50-pound bags) of staple items like flour, sugar, rice, and beans.
- Divide evenly among the group and share the cost equally…and, the cost savings.
Be creative in thinking of other bulk items you could share and save on.
