Refill and zero waste
Bring your own jars and pay for the food, not the packaging.
Bring your own jar
Every spice, grain and oil in the shop can go into your own container. Clean jars, tins, bags and bottles are all fine; we lend jars if you forget.
1
Weigh your jar empty
Put it on the counter scale. We write the weight on the lid with a wax pencil.
2
Fill it from the bins
Scoops for spices, gravity bins for grains and pulses, taps for oil and vinegar.
3
Pay by weight
We weigh it again and take the jar off. You pay for the food, not the packaging.
Refill rules
What containers can I bring?
Any clean, dry container with a lid: glass jars, tins, cloth bags, bottles for oil. We weigh it empty first, so it does not need to be a particular size.
I forgot my jars. What now?
Borrow one of ours and bring it back next time, or take a paper bag. Jars to keep are $1.50 (Example prices).
Do you clean the bins and scoops?
Bins are emptied and washed between batches, scoops every day. Spice scoops are never shared between spices.
Is it really cheaper?
Usually, because you pay nothing for packaging and buy only what you need. Prices per weight are on every bin.
Smell it before you buy it
Every jar on the shelf can be opened at the counter. Come in, or send us a list and we put it aside.
