How many groceries can you fit into a 12 x 12 x 14 cardboard box? Would you believe $115.00 worth?

As the photo shows you can fit a lot if you pack it well! Could you

believe that you could fit over $100 worth of groceries and meat into

it?

You can! I wasn’t sure how it was going to work. I expected a

savings of at least 25% but I was amazed to find out I was able to fit

an estimated $115.00 worth of meat and groceries into that little

$30.00 box! I saved an estimated 74%!

The SHARE Colorado Warehouse Food sale works like this:

Each shopper gets a shopping cart with 2 boxes. You can choose to

just get one box, or you can get several boxes - there’s NO LIMIT.

Each “box” (12 x 12 x 14) costs $30.00.

They don’t care what you put into the box, so long as the top can be

closed and taped flat. So it was extra fun to see how much I could

actually get into the box. I did a lot of rearranging and sometimes I’d

find something I really wanted so I’d take something out and put it

back, in order to fit something else. When it was all done, I had a few

very small spaces left at the top of the box where 3 little boxes of

strawberry jello fit perfectly. I had a packed-full box with NO wasted

space.

There are food coops operating in most areas in the United States. Try the yellow pages or find one by searching the internet for "FOOD COOP" in your zip code or region.
