HOW TO SHOP
In Store
1. Bring your clean, empty containers to the shop (glass jars, plastic containers, and cloth bags are great)!
2. Avoid shopping in groups. Only a few customers are allowed inside at a time. If you've got little ones with you or need assistance from a friend they are welcome to join.
3. Wear a mask at all times and avoid touching your face.
4. Wash or sanitize your hands upon entering the shop.
5. Bring your containers to the checkout area and staff will weigh them for you.
6. Next, bring your containers to one of the designated filling stations.
7. Stock up on your favourite goodies and feel free to ask our staff for help.
8. Bring your containers back to the checkout area and staff will ring you through.
HOW TO SHOP
Online
We have most of our bulk products available to purchase online as well as all our lifestyle products. Dry bulk goods are packed in paper bags, and liquids are packed in glass jars – there is a $1.50 deposit and you can get that back if you return them clean and empty.
For jar refunds, if you purchased online you will be issued a coupon for the deposit amount to be used on your next purchase.
