A brochure that educates people interested in cutting the supermarket connection.

Abstract:  This brochure educates people interested in cutting the supermarket connection and in finding a workable alternative to the profit-making food industry. It points out that the major purpose of food co-ops is to save money for members by buying good quality food in bulk at wholesale prices. It also describes how food co-ops work depending on whether they are preorder co-ops (i.e. buying clubs) or co-operative stores. Renting or owning a truck for transporation of food helps reduce food prices because it cuts out some of the steps between producer and consumer. The brochure explains the four main advantages of a food co-op in terms of price, quality, control and community. It also outlines the steps to take either to join a food co-operative or to start one in one's neighbourhood.
