There is a new Bulk Nation right next door to the vision center, so of course I had to go in and check it out. I really like this market. This from their
website, "Because we buy in bulk, we are able to pass on immense savings directly to our customers," explains Clay Donato, Bulk Nation's president. "Our products are delivered straight from the truck to the shelf, so we carry very little backstock. This ensures the freshness and quality of the food products in our stores.
At Bulk Nation, you'll find over 3,000 specialty food items to choose from. The store offers 96 different spices, 40 different types of unique flours and sugars, 35 types of coffee, 24 loose-leaf teas and 10 different types of olive oils and vinegars – all sold from bulk. The wide range of food categories also includes beans, rices, pasta, soup mixes, nuts, dried fruits, candy, snacks, trail mixes, specialty drinks and much more.
Searching for something a little more unique and unconventional? Bulk Nation has a huge selection of specialty products, including freshly made nut butters, organic fare, protein powders, local raw honey and more, making the store a prime destination for people with special dietary needs.
We try to stay up on what's new and make our product range as eclectic as possible, while still meeting the needs of the conventional customer as well, says Donato."
It's nice to be able to buy only the amount I need of a product in the immediate future, as well as not having to buy the packaging as well.
So long story short, I bought dried unsweetened coconut, dried plantain chips, pumpkin seeds, dried beet chips, dried goji berries, Brazil nuts, and dark chocolate nibs. All for $20.
I will mix this in with some sunflower seeds and pecans that I already have and make an awesome trail mix to snack on.
