Find a Winco Food store. They have lots of different food items in bins and usually much cheaper than boxed/bottled items. My store has all types of flours, spices, grains, cereals, pet foods, dried fruits, peanuts, cashews, almonds, chocolate candy, make your own peanut butter etc.
These Winco stores are employee owned and non-union. But you have to bag your own groceries.
We’re going to be in Dallas this fall and I’ll at least drive by and take a look at what they have. In the meantime, a five hour drive to buy groceries is just a bit much. Thanks for letting me know. Maybe they’ll come on south eventually.
I shop at Winco stores in the Sacramento area and they are great. A limited range of brands but a full range of items and the prices are good. The Sacramento area stores have excellent produce and indeed a wide range of bulk items in bins; don’t know if these are regional or nationwide features. Yes, you have to bag your own groceries but the way they have it set up gives us amateur baggers adequate time to do it. Worth a try if you have one reasonably nearby.
