THINK OF ALL THE EXTRA GRUB YOU COULD BE PUTTING INTO YOUR TRUNK BY SHOPPING AT THE ONLY FOOD SIORE
AND GASOLINE OUTLETS THAT ARE OWNED BY EVERY MEMBER OF THE HERD — NOT JUST BY THE ZOO KEEPER!

Are we competitive — yes. Volunteer members, independent of board and
management compare prices on a weekly basis. They guarantee that your
Co-op offers competitve or lower prices.

Congratulations to the other food stores. This was the first time in years
Oakcrest has ever been close to Co-op. Do you think they would be as low if
your Co-op wasn’t located on the Peninsula? | guess you'll never know!
In addition to being price competitive every day your Co-op also provides the
following benefits:

1) Patronage Refunds — We have averaged a return of over 5% for the past
three years. For an average family this amounts to over $300 per year if they
purchase most of their needs from their Co-op.

2) Heating Fuel Rebate — We return over $25,000 every year. An average
family saves over $50 on heating fuel per year.

3) Bonus Dollars — We redeem over $120,000 per year in bonus dollars saved
every Tuesday.

4) Local Control — We are controlled by a local board who ensure the
decisions and services complement the community and member owners.
5) Local Support — No other store supports the local youth or charitable
groups like your Co-op. We are proud sponsors of 4-H, Boy Scouts, Lacrosse,
Baseball, Youth Camps and on and on. Every year your Co-op must donate a
portion of their bottom line to community involvement. It's a policy we have
adhered to for years!
