I'm looking for the most inexpensive places to buy certain raw foods in bulk. What have you all found?

My best two finds are:
1. Mountainroseherbs.com for coconut oil - their prices and quality blow everyone else out of the water!
2. Lifesprouts.com - exellent prices on raw oats

The products I'm most interested to find are:
1. Dates, figs, etc.
2. Honey or agave nectar
3. Carob
4. Nuts & seeds

Like I said, I'm very willing to buy these things in bulk.

Thank you so much!

The Date People is an excellent source for all kinds of dates.

I buy my dates at Publix. Its 1.99 for a box of them.

Figs-sorry don't use.

Agave at the Dekalb Farmers Market 2.00 or 3.00 a bottle (I quit buying this a couple of months ago), but I think Alissa sells it on her site.

I buy honey less then a mile from my house. It 12.00 a quart.

Carob -I'm not positive, but I think RP sells this. I don't use it.

Nuts and seeds- publix or life grocery

Don't forget Amazon has a Grocery section now. If you search for "raw" you'll come up with some bargains. Especially since anything over $25 has free shipping. And if you spend $50 or more and enter the coupon code "grocery2" at checkout, you'll save an additional $10.

Yes, amazing deal! I just bought a box of 12 Madhava organic, raw agave nectar for only $1.98/bottle, where everywhere else is selling it for over $7/bottle. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMTJL4/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/104-4734676-0146305?ie=UTF8

Oh, I also bought wild, sun dried goji berries for only $14.19/lb. It's an incredible deal! Most places sell for over $20/lb.
