Want to stretch your grocery budget – but still eat good, healthy, organic food? Co+op Basics is here to help. Starting today, we are lowering prices on staple items you reach for every day. And we’re committed to keeping the prices on these items low.

We are able to offer Co+op Basics because of our membership in National Cooperative Grocers, our cooperative of co-ops. NCG negotiates for the lowest possible prices on behalf of Co-op Market and 142 of our sister co-ops across the country. The result is great savings for you!

You’ll find Co+op Basics items all over the store: Just look for the purple Co+op Basics logo and purple price tags. These everyday low prices are good for everyone. We’re starting with organic products from Field Day, and we’ll be adding more and more items over the coming months.

We now have three different colors to indicate three types of savings in the store.

Purple: Co+op Basics 

Green: Co+op Deals

Orange: Owner-Only Deals

If you’re a regular Co-op Market shopper, you know to look for the green tags to find special sale items from our Co+op Deals Flyer. These sales are good for everyone. They’re published bi-weekly and inserted into the Wednesday food section of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Co+op Deals Flyers and Coupon Books are also always available in the store at Customer Service. Click here to see the current flyer and coupon book.

Since we opened, we’ve used purple tags to indicate Owner-Only Deals. Because NCG chose purple for Co+op Basics, we’ve changed our Owner-Only tags to orange. (Here’s one easy way to remember: Both start with the letter O.) One of the benefits of Ownership, these are month-long deals on items in every department of the store.

Remember: Every time you shop at Co-op Market, you’re voting with your dollars to support our local community, grow the cooperative economy, and put more local food and products into the marketplace. Why shop somewhere else when you can get what you need at the co-op? We’re working hard to give you fantastic prices  so that you can spend your money where it counts for you and your family.
