that's what I was going to say. I've bought food and yarn through co ops and had good experiences. but I have also had people tell me that it only saved them $1 or so to do a co op versus buying regular for certain things and they had to wait a while to get their items. Depends what shipping/fees are, so make sure you calculate.
