I've posted a similar picture recently but when I restocked I had that same feeling. Proud to be the smallest! 👍👍#lessplasticisbetter #thebestshavingcreamsoap #ilovetangie #zerowasteshaving (at Health Basket (Mount Dora, Florida))

I buy in bulk to reduce my waste so when I saw this picture I gasped out LOUD! You see it right? The store clerk is opening up not large plastic bags of cereal and pouring them into a bulk bin. That seems crazy to me! In order to not dwell in the rediculouness about it, I quickly realized the lesson 🤔. It's up to me to ask the right questions to ensure the outcome I desire. ME.. . I understand there are many reasons why people buy in bulk and I'm sure the owners of the store have their reasoning. . I NOW will ask the store owner how they do it at the bulk store 🏬 I frequent. It's up to me to make sure I'm really getting what I think I am. ME. . I would NEVER thought that's how it was done! Never! 😒 . How about you. Any thoughts on this subject? Or am I just crazy? You can tell me. I can take it. . @zerowastedork actually had this experience and here is her post about it ...... The sad truth behind Winco's bulk cereal....they refill their bulk bins with the same cereal they sell in plastic in the regular grocery aisle. Le sigh. I asked the woman refilling the Toasted Oats I was waiting for whether they recycle the plastic and she said they go into a special "plastics" bin and she thinks they get recycled. 😣 Makes me wonder how the other bins are filled here at Winco and elsewhere. Is there a better alternative? Waxed paper that can be composted? And airtight refillable plastic bin that is transported between manufacturers and grocers? Stop eating cereal? 😳 .. .#Repost @zerowastedork with @repostapp ・・・ #reducereuserecycle #bulkisbeautiful #beawastelandrebel #goingzerowaste #zerowastefood #zerowastefail #zerowastekids #lessplasticisbetter #isthiscrazy #bulkshopping #questioneverything
