What is a good online retailer, and/or good place to buy goods like sugar, flour, and stuff like that?

Sunday Feb 28, 2010

I would like to buy in bulk, is there somewhere good to go online to order cheap goods like flour, sugar, dried beans, and just like basic foods? like to do all the cooking myself? i’m looking mainly for the following in cheap bulk:
Flour, sugar, beans, rice, and also vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce. I dont really want to buy these things at grocery stores, it seems too expensive if i can get it in bulk. thanks for the help!

I work in a bakery and we use several distributors. I think it depends on what part of the country you are in. I live in California and I use US Foods and Bakemark. I also shop at Smart and Final and Costco. Costco has really good prices on flour and sugar. You’ll have to compare their prices on the other items you need. You could also try farmer’s markets for the veggies – let them know you will be buying bulk and they will probably cut you a deal.
