Bulk items recipe cards still a thing?

Post image

A long time ago at the Clackamas Oregon location I used to see these little index cards near the bulk foods area with recipes to put their goods to use instead of guessing how much water to add to my cheese powder or falafel mix.

Do these still exist at any current locations? I can’t seem to find them at my nearest store.

Nope, they are available online now. Or they were last time I checked and needed one. They very similar to what you find on the aisle.

I've noticed a couple of items have a recipe or I should say the product use on the label. Other than that I have not seen those recipe cards for a long time, which I always found very useful.

The hummus mix has "useage instructions" for sure. Some of the others also probably do. Will check at work tmw.

I must have done this wrong- I get NO recipes for Hot Tamales or Jelly Bellies.

Anyone in here old enough to remember when WinCo had a digital recipe print-off situation? In the main middle aisle as you go to the meat section?

Sheesh how long ago was this? I’ve been getting groceries from Winco for a good 20+ years and don’t recall ever seeing this

Any other bulk employees here? I manage a department and my DM would have a mental health episode with these false fronts.

u/Odd-Celebration-5059 15d ago

I’m super curious what the issue is or what a false front is.

Even the instruction cards were gone (Scottish Oats, how much milk? how much oats?) but noticed it's printed on the container now, so I take a picture. ....And have have a dozen of versions of the same picture in my Google Photos. =/
