Bulk Nation Revisited

After, 
1/3 lb. Pumpkin seeds, 
3/4 lb. Bulgur Wheat, 
1/3 lb Sunflowers seeds, 
1/2 lb. XL peanuts raw, 
3/4 lb. Arborio rice, 
1oz. Marjoram leaves, 
1/3lb. Sunflower seeds organic! 
and a $2.00 discount, my bill was $13.00.
I was please with my picks. I just cooked some bulgur wheat,* it went well with black beans.
I think the clerk might have read my written items wrong. Also, look for seeded, shelled, raw and no salt vs the opposite of the same item, there is a price difference.
Also, there are organic (green item) and standard (blue label) items.
Never was nuts about organic items. I work at a farmers market! Some claims are questionable.
I think having all the choices was time saving. Prices were better than the regular stores in most cases. Easy check out and always a discount or coupon is a plus. 
Shop with your partner, split your items, and you can double your discounts. 

* To cook Bulgur: 
Bring 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil
Add 1 cup of bulgur wheat
Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 20 minutes
Drain if any liquid remains
Add a teaspoon of butter and serve
A cup uncooked, will more than double when cooked.
