Bulk Nation Buying Comes To O-Town

At Bulk Nation, the quantity you purchase is left to you, the customer! This is the concept behind Bulk Nation buying, 

Taking Barbara's and Marsha's recommendations, I checked out the one in the Colonial Plaza. 
Located at Colonial and Bumby Avenues in O-Town, it was easy to get to.  
My measuring stick was on unit price, not quality. The store's inventory was well stocked and had lots of variety.

The 4000 square feet store was packed with over 1000 items, stated one of the friendly clerk.
Right off the bat, you have a chocolate factory experience. Tons of chocolates, and chocolate covered products all saying, "your pleasure is my delight." 

I didn't see it, but I am sure there is a "no tasting" rule. I was intrigued by the avocado strips,  I tasted two pieces, not bad.

Everything from: nuts to chocolate, spices to soups, vinegar to coffee, and grains to candy are in bins. Some items are in cartoons or jars. 

Prices are clearly marked in large letters at each bin. There are clear plastic bags and tags to write the bin numbers for any item. 

So does paying by weight at Bulk Nation save you dollars? I say it will. Many times you have a recipe that calls for 4 ounces of avocado oil or a 4 ounces of red quinoa. You will end up paying $2.00 and $1.45 respectfully, instead of $8.03 and $6.99 for a whole pound, more in a regular supermarket.

I was not sure where items like the raw honey is from. That will be a major concern. But pound for pound, things look better by the ounce. Surely, this looked like better buy than Whole Foods or Publix ... only time will tell!
