Citrus is winding down, and berries haven’t started in earnest.  But mangoes fill the gap quite tastily. The Mexican Ataulfo is piney sweet with very little fibrousness A related variety, the Francique, comes from Haiti tasting musky sweet. - Travis, Produce Manager

How to shop the Co-op
(your guide to shopping smart - economically, environmentally, & socially.)

The co-op strives to provide healthful foods from local providers, while at the same time offering products and services that allow shoppers to stretch their food dollar. Here are some ideas to help you shop thrifty while shopping at the co-op.

 Fruits & Vegetables
Check the reduced-priced fruits and vegetables in the discounted areas of the Produce Department. By paying attention to the local growing season, you can buy the best local produce, often by the case. Eat it right away, or use it for canning, drying or freezing.

Shop the Bulk Section
You can buy exactly the quantity of cereals, grains and snacks that you want without paying for expensive packaging. Also look for tea, oils, and spices in bulk quantities. Seward Co-op also allows you to control the size of your portions, from eggs to meat to several deli products. You can purchase as much - or as little - of a product as you wish.

Co-op Advantage Program
The Co-op Advantage Program (CAP) offers great specials on products. The CAP flyer is mailed out to all co-op members in our bimonthly newsletter, Sprout!, and the Twin Citieswide publication, The Mix. We also carry a full line of EBT and WIC approved iitems throughout the store. Look for the shelf tags. Seward Co-op is the only co-op in the Twin Cities accepting WIC coupons. 

Blue Sky Guide
For the price of $20, you get about $3,000 worth of coupons covering several categories, from grocery to dining to entertainment and more. Look for the guide at the check out lanes.

Bargain Bins
The Grocery and Wellness departments' bargain bins contain discounted items. Also be sure to check for discounted baked goods in the Deli, as well as in the Bread section.
