Littleton Food Co-op

By: Misty Vino (Sep 26, 2011)
Very good store in the beginning months when it first opened. Has gone downhill steadily since then. Now its very common to find bad produce: very soft tomatoes with turned spots, moldy onions and garlic, shriveled looking peppers. When its brought to their attention, they turn a blind eye. I go in the next week...same thing with the tomatoes. I finally asked for a discount on some of the better looking soft ones because I didn't want to have to make another trip to another store just to get tomatoes nor did I want to pay almost $5 per pound for the "organic" tomatoes. I was told rudely "No, we can't discount those!" I also pulled several expired items out of the freezer section! But the next week when I went in, there were the soft tomatoes again at full price! As well as the expired frozen items. The expired frozen items were actually discounted but I'm not sure who they expected would buy them?? The 2nd week I tried, I simply walked out, so they lost $75 from one person. I figure if I have to get good produce and frozen items and go to Shaw's anyways to get it, then I may as well do the rest of the weeks shopping there too. I'm not going to keep going to 2 different stores because the Co-op just can't seem to get their act together. I don't have time to shop 2 stores.
