Bulk food aisle specialities? (peanut butter, meal, butter, cheap)

[silibran]

What things do you buy in the bulk food aisle? For me the thing is almond butter. When I buy fresh ground I get the best taste and texture, and it is cheaper too. I buy some nuts there, and dried beans. I have also bought Muesli, chocolate chips, and some special grains and flours.

What things have you bought crom your bulk food aisle?

Peanut butter, sometimes almond butter, and once in a while peanut butter with dark chocolate(yum).

Also beans, rice, nuts, pumpkin seeds, rolled oats, steel cut oats, oat berries (I make oatmeal once a week and eat a portion every day). A handful of chocolate covered almonds or (my latest love) agave sweetened gummie bears.

What stores have a bulk food aisle? (not counting Costco, etc.) I remember MANY yrs. ago when stores had the bulk food bins, etc. but haven't seen that in years and years.

Rice and nuts, sometimes dried fruit or candy (like swedish fish and pink grapefruit gummy bears), sunflower and pumpkin seeds. A lot more than I thought. Mostly I buy small amount of nuts.

I buy bulk seeds, corn meal, oats, dry fruit, and grains to make bird cakes.
Sometimes I will buy chocolate covered raisins, cherries or nuts. I also buy different kind of leaf tea to do my own mix.
I buy bulk dog food.

If we are talking bulk, as in big bins of food, nothing because twice when in Sprouts in Texas I saw people putting their hands in the bins and eating whatever. One other time I saw someone use his hands as the scooper. I am not a germaphobic by any means, but that just left me with do desire to buy from a bulk container. Now if you are talking about buying in large quantities, I do it often. We buy meat at Sam's in quantity, dog food via Amazon and lots of other things. In fact we have to be careful and judge, will we use all of what we are buying?
