In Park Slope we have our food coop, which is co-owned by 16,000 of us and does just bulk buys of everything we need. We also voulenteer to work 3 hrs a month (I do childcare).
Our groceries are the freshest, localist, most responsibily sourced and affordable in NYC 20-50% off other stores.

Thx for sharing this. Really cool. Where I live, I'm pretty sure we don't have a coop...but I want one!
We do about $50MM in revenue a year and also provide startup capital, training and voulenteer labor to help folks start their own.
Drop by for a tour and say hey if you do.
Someone told me that mid-rich people often group together to have a grocery accountant who will do their bulk shopping for them and it ends up costing them less than a supermarket prices for superior products.
