Most people who do not live in a rural community may not be familiar with the idea of a bulk food store. Unlike traditional grocery stores, our local bulk food stores sell local dry and frozen goods, such as flour, sugars, salt, baking mixes, noodles, etc... in larger volume then you are likely to find in your big-box stores. They often also stock extensive varieties of spices, candies, local produce, cheeses and meats at much more reasonable prices then most people who live in larger cities are accustomed. Some of our local bulk food stores even have small cafe's where they offer fresh and delicious, soups, sandwiches, and salads making them a perfect spot to shop for lunch!
