hi all,

Where do you shop online for cheap bulk items?

eg.
powdered milk (to make yogurt)
cocoa powder
mint flavoring

Thx in advance!

hmmm, the problem with ordering bulk foods online is the shipping. when i was living back East, i fell in love with www.nutsonline.com because they have a huge selection, good prices, and amazing customer service. but now that i'm back in California, the cost of shipping from their NJ warehouse kills me.

i may check out one of these sites next, since they're based in CO:
http://www.bulkwholefoods.com/
http://www.naturalgrocers.com/grocery_bulk_foods-c-1.html

or this one, because it looks like they offer $5 super-saver shipping if you spend a certain amount:

you can occasionally find really good deals on Amazon.

but you honestly may just be better off joining a local co-op if you have one nearby.
