Refill stores also supply dry goods for which you can take your own container or paper bags, or use the bags they provide. Goods available include spices (whole and ground), sugars and flours, rice, seeds, pulses, nuts, dried fruit, pasta, oats and other cereals, cocoa, etc.
Shopping in this way cuts down on most or all packaging and allows us to pursue the ideal of zero waste. Refill stores often stock unpackaged bars of soap, deodorant etc. They equally often sell zero plastic options such as copper wire pan scrubbers, bamboo tooth brushes, rubber gloves, wooden dish mops etc.
