Buying your grains, nuts, seeds, beans, dried fruit, tea.. and anything else you can find in the bulk section not only saves you money on most occasions, but also creates less waist (and even more is if you re-use those plastic bags at the market or for picking up doggy poop:)
You can even take it one step further as this jar-happy blogger has… carrying her items in jars and reusable bulk bags! Super cool!
I like the idea of buying at the bulk section because I can buy as much as I like or as little… and I store them easily in jars or plastic containers which I can then refill and re-use over and over. They stay fresh, easily visible and create a more sustainable system for you
