5 Fresh Ways to Save at the Co-op
We’ve all been there: your bank account is looking thin after a month of celebrations, but you’ve made a New Year’s resolution to save up for a big purchase later in the year
Now’s the time to make some changes to your spending - but that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on quality goods at the Ashland Food Co-op.
These are some lesser known ways to save at the Co-op. Think of them like ordering off the secret menu.

If you’re not signed up yet, join the Weekly Sales Flyer email list. Every Wednesday, you can plan your shopping list around a new selection of items on sale, from in-season produce and high-quality meats, to wellness products and sweet treats.
Too busy and don’t have time to cook? Stop by for the Hot Bar Happy Hour from 8pm until close and enjoy a $2 / lb discount. Dine in and save an extra $0.15 by using a Deli plate, bowl or cup. (Added bonus: you’ll be helping to reduce waste.)
Savings Level: $$
The best way to save on produce is to buy in-season. Ask our produce employees what’s at peak ripeness and for the best deals in the house. To save you money (and reduce food waste), we also have a produce markdown section where everything is $0.25 per pound.

Biking around Ashland is already good for your fitness, but did you know it’s good for your wallet, too? Get a Bicycle Benefits sticker for $5, slap it on your helmet, and you’ll receive 5% off every time you bike to the Co-op. (If you’re a Co-op owner, you can combine this discount with the 10% discount three times a year for a full 15% off!)
It feels good to eat and be well while saving money, doesn’t it? From staple goods to specialty items, the Ashland Food Co-op is always working to save you money without sacrificing the high quality standards you’ve come to expect.
If you have any personal tips for saving, send us an email and we’ll pass your ideas on to your fellow Co-op shoppers.
