Park Slope Food Co-Op.........worth it or not?

and i'm not looking to be convinced, because I couldnt care less about joining. I'm just curious.

In an area with a big population of independantly owned stores with specialty and organic foods, what is the draw? Is it really cheaper? Or is it the community aspect that draws people to it?

I think it's the exciting chance to work in a grocery store.

Of course, if you're not a member you can't witness this for yourself!

I really wish that they'd let a non-member like me wander through and look at the store's contents. That would convince me much more than being told "it rocks. Go to a meeeting". (not referring to people on the boards, but rather people I know in Real Life [tm].)

one of your real life member friends can take you in as a guest

as for membership, if you can make the time it's great.
if not, not so great.

there are a thousand other world-o-bargains grocery-related shopping excursions you can enjoy in Brooklyn. Like Sahadi's on Atlantic Ave, M&I International Food in Brighton Beach, or the Hong Kong Market in Sunset Park.

there are already so many members, over 10,000.. it's not like they are looking for more; but if you want a tour, you can go during one of the scheduled ones. ask at the front desk or office or something.
