buying in bulk online?

[jmmom]

Hi everyone,

We've recently moved, bought a house, had another babe, got a dog, started a job...and we're trying to work on our grocery bill, as my super fast metabolism has me eating us out of house and home! Where do you buy bulk beans and grains online? I've found a couple of sites, but am interested to hear others' experience.

If you can let me know what shipping costs and times are like for a given site, that would be really extra helpful.

Thanks in advance!

I do know know of places, will be watching this thread.
There are bulk bins now in many grocery stores and at Whole Foods of course.

This might sound odd, but try Amazon.com. Seriously! They sell lots of bulk food items and cases of food products, including grain, beans, etc. I bought a case of the Newman's Own brand of Fig Newton bars there because my son just adores them. Normally $5 a package, but a case of 12 came out to $3.50 each. And they have free shipping on TONS and tons of items and stuff is constantly on sale. My mom buys everything from maple syrup to dental floss from Amazon.
