Provisions pricing has two components: a Base Price and Volume Discounts. Base prices are lower than retail for most items. Additional discounts apply automatically based on your total cart value at checkout. For full details, visit the Household Guide or Business Guide.

For household accounts:

• 5% off orders over $150
• 10% off orders over $450
• 15% off orders over $750

Discounts apply to your total cart value, not individual item quantities.

Co+op Deals is a national co-op program offering rotating sale prices on a variety of products. These promotions are available on Provisions and can be combined with volume discounts for significant savings. Due to order lead time, Co+op Deals sale periods on Provisions begin and end earlier than in-store dates. Current deal dates are listed on the homepage and at the top of the Co+op Deals collection page.

Co+op Basics is a national co-op program offering a consistent selection of everyday staples at reliably low prices year-round.

Products are already priced at wholesale member discounts. Additional member discounts do not stack on top of Provisions pricing. FFA Members and Non-profit discounts will apply to totals at checkout.

Your payment method is entered at checkout but is not charged when you place your order. Your card is charged once your order has arrived, been reviewed by our staff, and marked as ready for pickup. You will receive a confirmation email at that time.
