Whole food Coop

As I am always thinking about saving money, but want to keep eating healthy, we joined a Whole Food Coop locally. This has been a blessing. Saturday we could pick up our first order.
I was very very pleased as through this coop we could order products that I hadn't found in local shops yet, but that I desperately wanted to use.
One of them was coconut oil for frying. Coconut oil can handle much higher temperatures than most oils. It is actually not fluid in room temperature, because its tropical.
We also use olive oil and for a few years we have only used that for frying as that is the next best thing. From now on olive oil will be used in salads and less warm dishes only. Coconut oil is going to be there for frying.
It was somewhat funny, as the smell from the pot of oil was pretty strong, but when used there is no problem in taste, we love it.
The other thing was concentrated fruit juices. Local shops didn't have those and we were used to using those before we moved to the UK. This as there are no artificial sweetners nor added sugar in there. The taste is much more natural and you can dilute it very well, to make it nice and healthy.
So, we ordered that as well, next order will have a different taste in there.
What was further one of the highlights for me were the nut butters.
Before our move we used to use those, but again, didn't find them in local shops.
So, now we have almond butter, hazel butter and cashew butter added to the standard peanut butter. Its a joy to have the different tastes and again, its healthy!
