Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Good info, Mark. Good to know how the Trader Joe's bananas come out per pound--I was going to weigh them once and I forgot. Just to clarify, I have gotten case discounts at PCC. Sometimes it's a good deal and sometimes it's not much off. I'm not sure about Whole Foods. One time I asked them for a discount on a sale item and they said they couldn't since it was on sale, but I didn't ask if they do case discounts on regularly-priced items. Also, I agree about discussions--I would like it if this group were more active. I'm sure there are people of all levels and backgrounds here and it would be fun to have a local group to chat with more.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Usually, the most active discussions are started with questions. Often that happens when people new to raw ask questions, so keep asking questions!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'm assuming tofu and any pickled item would be considered processed. Is that correct?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've discovered my co-op and the Mt. Vernon co-op will not give you a case discount if you just walk in and ask for one. They will honor a discount if you call a day or two ahead of time and ask for a case. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 You're correct about the tofu. Some people make raw pickles. I would not eat most store-bought pickles. I haven't actually seen any raw ones marketed in stores. I've only seen them at events and, perhaps, raw restaurants. There are many varieties of raw sauerkrauts and kimchees on the market. Jeff.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Bubbies pickles are not heated, ever. Their pickled vegetable mix is, though. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Everyone, Thank you for all of your responses. I've written them all down and am excited to start. I will post any additional questions I have, on this forum, probably soon!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Whole Foods won't give out a case discount, but the PCC on Avondale Rd. will. But, it is still a much better deal to buy organic bananas from TJ's. PCC's discount only brought the bananas down to .99/lb! Monica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
