Bulk bins aren’t only about the best deals.
“There are tons of great deals in bulk, primarily because the consumer isn’t paying for packaging,” says Trey McLean, a senior global category merchant for Whole Foods Market who oversees the store’s bulk department.
First, prioritize safety; it’s unsanitary to go carelessly digging in the bins and graze the product with your hand, and equally so to let unsupervised kids reach in with their fingers. While most experts say harmful microbes aren’t likely to grow in bulk bins because they don’t contain enough moisture to harbor bacterial growth, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Third, venture outside your comfort zone. “Bulk set size and ingredients will vary [from store to store], which can be a good thing because it means you’ll find regional or local items in the bulk department, like honey, that are unique to your store,” McLean says.
