Title: Co-op stores for cheaper health food
Post by: quirkycooking on January 05, 2010, 11:59:12 pm

Do any of you shop at co-op stores for your grains, flours, seeds, agave syrup, Rapadura, honey, chocolate, oils, etc??  We have one in Cairns and another opening in Atherton, and they're really great.  My MIL lives in Perth and would like to know if there's any over there, and I think it would be good to have a list of them here on the forum so we all can (hopefully) find one near us!  I mostly buy things in bulk with co-op groups, but if I run out, or just need a small amount, the co-op stores have things cheaper than the health food stores or supermarkets, generally.

The Co-op store in Cairns is :
Community Foods, 74 Shields St, Cairns
Email: shop@comfoods.org.au
Web: www.comfoods.org.au
Ph: (07) 4041 5335

I use the Asian/Indian grocers - they are always cheaper - not sure if there are co-ops nearby.

Anything in Melb?   When we go to Melb. I do the rounds.  Chinese supermarket in Racecourse Rd,   Ray's Nuts in Hall st .Moonee Ponds, Vic Market for fish,  fruit and veg.  Aldi in Sunbury for basic groceries.  I look out for specials at local supermarkets.
