Everyday Affordable Pricing

More About Us

At Natural Grocers, we believe "health food" isn't healthy unless you can afford to buy it. Across the store are hundreds of everyday products sold at EveryDay Affordable Prices "EDAP". This means we have special volume purchase deals with these manufacturers to pay less for these products as long as we pass the savings on to our customers. Often our everyday long term EDAP prices are lower than our competitors' week-long sale prices. Look for the EDAP signs throughout the store.

 
  1. Hotline and In-store sales: Our Health Hotline is published eight times a year, and offers a special selection of supplement and grocery products at extraordinary low prices for a period of four to six weeks. These deals are put together months in advance with the cooperation of our suppliers. Look for Hotline sales signs and product sections throughout the store. In store sales usually run for a month at time, and offer short term savings on select items. Also look for manager's specials on overstocked items and clearance items, plus two-week long fruit and produce specials. Signup up now to receive the Health Hotline in your inbox. Hotline's are also available at your closest Natural Grocers.

  2. Things we don't do: Hi-Lo Pricing and Pre-Sale Price Hikes.
    "Hi-Lo" is a widespread practice by retailers where they raise the prices on select items in the store so they can lower the price on other items to put them on "sale" and make the savings look bigger than it really is. Instead of exaggerating sale pricing, we strived to keep our overall costs down so we can provide affordable prices on all products every day. Some retailers also increase prices before an item goes on sale so the can show a more impressive savings during a subsequent sale. Government regulations say that any calculations of "savings" on a sale sign have to go against the prevailing on-shelf retail price during the prior two weeks. So, when you see a hefty two week long price hike on an item, you can bet that item will be on sale soon. We don't hike prices before an item goes on sale to make the sale look snappier.

  3. Quality and price: Sometimes it is frustrating to see the price difference between conventional food and natural/organic food. It helps to understand that natural and organic food production often does not have the huge economies of scale of corporate agriculture, nor the higher yields per acre of intensely fertilized crop treated with pesticides and herbicides. Natural/organic agriculture also does not poison the environment with increased nitrogen runoff, create ocean dead zones, or toy with the unknown effects of genetically modifying food. The cost of conventional agriculture is higher than it may seem, because for the moment the costs are paid through the accumulation of environmental contamination and public health damage instead of at the supermarket.
