Willy Street Co-op
Here are some of the ways everyone can save when shopping at Willy Street Co-op:
1. Buy in Bulk: Whether you just need a tablespoon of cinnamon, a cup of flour, or five pounds of rice, you can buy as much or as little as you want in the Bulk Department.
2. Discount Bins: Check the discount bins in the Produce Department, where ripe, ready, and blemished fruit and vegetables are sold at a bargain price.
3. Just Enough: Feel free to purchase just one stalk of celery or broccoli, one bunch of grapes, or a handful of cherries. Produce staff can cut a cabbage or cauliflower in half for you.
4. WIC (Willy North only): We accept WIC at Willy North and FoodShare/QUEST cards at all of our stores.
5. Double Dollars: Late October through early March each year, we issue Double Dollars vouchers for every $5 spent using FoodShare/QUEST cards on Tuesdays, up to $20 maximum. Each voucher is good for up to $5 off a purchase of fresh, canned and frozen produce, and seeds and seedlings for growing edible plants. Double Dollars vouchers can be used October through May each year as program funds allow. For more information, see willystreet.coop/double-dollars.
6. Co-op Basics: Watch for Co-op Basics signs throughout the store. They’re by high quality (usually organic) products that are at an everyday low price.
7. Co-op Deals & Fresh Deals Sales: These sales are for all customers, not just Willy Street Co-op Owners.
8. Coupons: We have coupons available right below some of the products on our shelves. Take one to save on these products today.
If you join the Co-op, you also get these benefits:
1. Owner Deals: Owners who spend at least $40/week save an average of $100 per year thanks to these Owner-only sales.
2. Wellness Wednesday: Save 10% (sometimes 15%) on health and wellness products on the first Wednesday of every month.
3. Access Program: Owners who have a financial need can apply for the Access Program, where you can shop with a 10% discount. Learn more at willystreet.coop/access.
4. New Owner coupons: Get more than $30 in coupons for chicken, cheese, coffee, Deli-made sandwiches and more.
5. Plus, discounts on classes, perks from local businesses, and more.
