Today we received several calls about dried white mulberries. This is unusual for this product. When one of the staff asked a caller why the interest, they said they saw it on Dr Oz.

I assume that a lot of them shop there because of convenience and they assume that they are getting the best deal.

This would be a good assumption to make so I thought I would test it. I had a limited time there so just quickly started writing down random items that I knew we carried. Most were exactly the same brands with the exception of the coffee (we roast our own Fair Trade Certified Organic and we could not provide a price comparison with the Nut’s To You nut butters since the ones they offer are not the organic line – only ‘natural’).
