Membership Appreciation Day, more commonly called MAD day around here, is one of our favorite member benefits. All day long on Thursday, May 21, members will save on every single purchase. The best part? The more you spend, the more you save! So how does it work?

Well it’s easy. First you prepare your shopping list. Done? Ok, gather your bags and empty containers and any extra things you like (I always bring my own Sharpie) and come on down to the Co-op to shop. When you check out, we’ll apply a discount to your purchase depending on the amount you’ve spent.

For purchases up to $25, you’ll save 5%, even if it’s just a cup of coffee! For purchases up to $75, it’s 7.5% and for over $75, it’s a 10% savings all day long — remember, we’re open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.

So here’s the fine print: MADay discounts will apply to everything BUT beer and wine and special orders (the ones you always get 10% on). In addition, we no longer allow volunteers and staff to stack discounts; you simply get one discount just like everyone else — the best one!

We look forward to seeing you on MADay. Please remember to wear your happy pants and be patient with us if the lines get a bit long!
