Have a Field Day (Even on a Budget)

Many people are interested in eating better and incorporating more organic foods into their diet, but are on a tight grocery budget. What people may not know, is that there are economical options available to make sure you eat well without going over budget. A simple way to make sure you are getting good quality at a great value, is to look for the Field Day brand the next time you shop the Co-op.

Field Day offers non-GMO, organic, and natural products at affordable prices. Free from artificial flavors, colors, and unnecessary preservatives, Field Day foods feature simple ingredients you can pronounce. The products are value priced without a compromise in quality: third party certifications are used to ensure strict product quality standards. So Field Day gives you exactly what you need – food you can feel good about at affordable prices.

The Field Day brand is owned by our supplier, United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), an independent national distributor of natural, organic, and specialty foods and products. The Field Day brand supports independent, natural food stores like co-ops, by providing an economical alternative to the national brands, much like a private-label brand does for larger chain retailers.

You will find many of the Field Day products in our Co+op Basics program, which highlights an additional way to shop on a budget. Co+op Basics are products that help meet basic nutritional or personal hygiene needs offered at every day low prices. These items can be found in the store marked with purple "co+op basics" tags.

We also offer weekly savings on produce and grocery items called Fresh Deals which are marked with orange sale tags. And for savings on national and regional brands, check out the biweekly Co+op Deals flyer, labeled with green “co+op deals” tags. To view the current Fresh Deals and Co+op Deals flyers see the specials page on our website. And last but not least, shop the bulk department! Organic bulk foods cost 89% less on average than packaged equivalents, and also reduce packaging waste.

From the Field Day brand to regularly offered specials to the money you can save by purchasing from the bulk section, there are many affordable ways to shop at the co-op. So go ahead, have a field day with healthy foods, even on a budget!
