Nourishing Connections Food Club- If you are in the Frederick/Montgomery County area then this is for you! This is the food club that I belong to and I can’t even begin to express the blessing that it is for our family. It provides a way for our family to get the food that we want to eat at a very affordable price! If you are not in this area then check around with people in your area and even some of the manufacturers as they might know of food buying clubs in your area.

Tips on Sourcing High Quality Organic Goods at a lower price:

  • Check the bulk sections at your local health food store and talk to the manager to see if you can get a lower rate by buying in larger quantities. Or ask them who their distributor is and try to go to them directly to get a low price for bulk items
  • Also, check with like-minded people and networks in your area to see if there is an established food buying club. They are popping up all over the country and you would be surprised what you can get through them. Or set one up yourself if you can’t find one.
  • Another tip for getting lower prices on items is to buy in bulk. Share a large order with a friend or several friends to get a lower price and save on shipping. Many companies will have deals like this even if it’s not advertised on their website.

(And if you were wondering, no I am not affiliated with any of these companies except Cultures for Healthy and do not earn money for recommending them at this current time except Cultures for Health. But that may be changing in the future)
