Buying BANANAS/DATES in bulk CHICAGO LAND

Posted by Jackie Sauless on October 22, 2014 at 5:41am in Main Chat

Hey guys,

So I've never bought anything in bulk yet and I honestly dont even know where to begin. I literally go to jewel (a chain grocery store over here) or another grocery store every day if not twice a day... Does any one have any suggestions on places around here or maybe websites to buy in bulk?

Thank you I love you guys!!!

And Happy Halloween!!!

Muahaha

    I'm in Chicago land too. When I'm super busy I do Peapod grocery delivery and they will sell them by the case (90-100 per case) ! Oh and for dates I go to nutsonline.com they a great selection of bulk/wholesale dates etc:) I just ordered my first case which I'm getting tomorrow- I'm super excited because I keep running out or ripe fruit. I just started my transition a week ago.

    I get my bananas from Sam's Club in boxes (just ask a floor guy, they can hook you up with a box that hasn't been unloaded yet).

    I get my dates online.  What is your experience with dates?  Have you tried many varieties?  Have you tried fresh ones?  I've ordered from a lot of vendors online; they run between $6 to $13 shipped per pound depending on the freshness & quality.  I go through about a pound a day, so it's one of my biggest expenses in this diet.

    In the USA we have some of the cheapest bananas in the world, so I would  just walk into a store and buy them.

    .49 per pound is a great price

    In Europe or other countries a pound of bananas can be 3-4$ per pound, ten times as much.
