That's a really cute grocery store...

Why is everyone harassing her about not being a vegan? That kind of behavior is why so many people are annoyed by vegans. She is obviously eating healthy, leaver her alone. Her diet is her decision.

The problem with grocery shopping is that it is almost impossible to buy foods without packaging.

The way I see it, she is helping the environment by living zero waste. She does not have to go vegan! At least she's doing something to help the planet!

Wow how awesome is your grocery store. Wish I had one like that here in Australia..

Could you do a zero waste video shopping somewhere else, like a chain supermarket (Aldi, Kroger, Walmart, Publix..etc) we have nothing like this store where I live.

Where do you go grocery shopping? So jealous of your selection!

I wish there would be more grocery stores like this in the world. It would be amazing if anyone can buy like that

To all those "Vegans" commenting negative things. I'm a vegetarian, I think what she is doing is awesome. Anything helps, so by putting someone down for not being vegan, vegetarian, driving a car, etc. isn't helping. Everything hurts everything, I'm sure that by just being a vegan, you are still hurting the planet because you take a 10 minute shower, use makeup products, etc. You have no right to tell her that she isn't doing enough. You're sitting here wasting electricity commenting hate on this post so settle down.

Your grocery store is adorable!

When i see businesses with ethical goals look quiet i feel sad. I fear that they won't last and things would not progress

there is no way i could go waste free, it's just not possible with the resources in my town, but i will definitely carry on some things i saw in your video! thanks for sharing!

I have never seen a store like that. Just looking at organic stuff all over the place feels so good.

How does the store not know you're not lying about the tare weight (to save money)? I wouldn't think you'd lie, but I'm surprised the store places so much trust

Just let her be herself. Vegan or not, she's a great person and helps the environment just like you. If she chooses to eat meat that's her decision.

I feel really stupid right now that it never occurred to me to bring a funnel.

Great video! Looks like an awesome store too. x

Look up "zerowastehome.com" if u don't know where bulk bins are available in your area. They have a search thats really helpful.

Just the sound of the door makes me want to go in! It's so cute and quaint!!

i don't have a car and i'm vegetarian and i've been making mountains of garbage with packaging. thanks for helping me see the light! zero waste, the next obsession!

Love it! My local zero waste store uses stickers to scan the weight of the jars. I like this way even better!

I want to become low waste, like people are like, " oh it's too hard" it's literally just a minute more of work, and you're helping the earth

I'm curious to know how much that would cost!

Wonderful video! Thank you for being so considerate of the cashiers

I like watching other people zero-waste Journeys. I will say from my own personal experience it's just been such a thrill to not produce any Trash

I love videos like this! Do you think that you could maybe do some grocery hauls in the future? I love seeing what other zero-wasters buy!

I’m thrilled that she isn’t a vegan. Veganism doesn’t own the zero/low-waste lifestyle and it’s hugely beneficial for people who AREN’T vegan to see people like them being reflected from within this lifestyle. Make the choices which are good for YOU.

Its fun isnt it? This movement is also makes you spend less money for your groceries and daily needs. And for my self living in a village makes me almost producing zero waste, we pick our own veggies, buy things in traditional market which plastik bag unavailable, the challenge is like tissues and other modern things we find in package. Small movement but big impact, keep it up

NOT EVERYBODY WANTS THE VEGAN LIFESTYLE. LEAVE HER ALONE

I Will try!!! You are an example. Thanks for your message

Wow! What you do is amazing! I knew about this lifestyle just a couple of months ago and I have been trying to adjust to it. I have to say it is really hard to be conscious and actually plan all your shopping to avoid plastic containers and so. Thank you! You are an inspiration

I didn't even know about food co-ops! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your videos! Did a local search and found 3 co-ops!!! I'm so excited I can't wait to stop in and shop locally! It's going to save me so much money since I've been having to order all my bulk organic goods online.

This video inspired me to start reusing some things I hadn't really considered reusable. Thanks for the inspiration and information.

Thank you for making this educational video, you are doing exactly what Mahatma Gandhi was talking about, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

I’ve never done this because I get so anxious of doing something wrong and messing things up at he grocery store. BLESS YOU! I’m doing this my next trip! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Genius idea to bring a canning funnel! I love bulk bin shopping - it's cheaper AND better quality

The grocery store looks so cute

when you explained the plu number and tare weight I already knew what you were talking about 😂 life of a cashier lol

That store is literally everything

Awesome! We don't have bulk in our local grocery store. Everything is packaged, even most veggies.

Veganism is not the wonder-pill for the environment. Many "vegan" alternatives for non-vegan goods are made with alternative ingredients that may require intensive chemical treatments to satisfy FDA requirements or the ingredients have to be shipped from other countries. Either of these result in significantly more waste and energy use than non-vegan goods that just don't require those extra steps because of the infrastructure or climate or even just chemical composition. Veganism is a personal choice, and the morality and mentality of it are wonderful, but please do not compare being choosy with food you eat to the way this lovely woman has uprooted a normal and easy lifestyle to make a real impact. They just aren't the same thing.

Hmm just thinking put your tare weight on jar with permanent marker (the weight of the container stays the same) just saying 😍

Very cool - very inspirational! I used to do this and then stopped for some reason (bad lazy mommy!) But I am totally getting back on the wagon - just told my husband we need to really reduce our waste and he agreed. We are like rabid dumpster divers so we are preventing landfill waste in sort of a different way - for some reason those seem to be our most popular videos. Anyway, you are adorable and I have just subscribed and rung the bell!

I can't wait for the day that I can get my own place and go grocery shopping like this

It seems quite costly to shop there.

Stop telling her to go vegan..not everybody wants that life style.

I work at a grocery store, and another tip if your store doesn't have scales all around you can give your cashier an empty container and ask them to zero their scale with the empty container on it!

I hope we can have these type of store all through out our country

This is exactly why no one likes vegans. It's her choice. She's doing more than most people. Most people aren't even conscious or give a fuck about the environment. Also the fact that she drives a car doesn't mean she's fake. Not everyone has access to stores like this within close proximity. People need to stop being so judgmental and be thankful she cares enough to be doing this in the first place. I'm not vegan either and I'm happy knowing I'm making a small difference.

If stores like these existed even remotely close to me, I would buy from them :(

Omg I love that this video came up! I've been trying to find ways to be more friendly to our environment and this co op is definitely my favorite place to shop. (We met a couple months ago when I first moved to town & bonded over our love for Eric) I'm so excited that you made this video and it actually helps a lot! So cool to see our little towns grocery store in a KZfaq video haha

I’ve worked at two bulk friendly natural food stores....cashiers appreciate people like you! So conscientious! ✨

Wish we had a grocery store like that here in the Philippines. 😞

I spy with my little eye a 31 bag!

This is amazing ! Now I know how to use the machines at the store !!

Oh man! I would love to have a grocery store near me like this.

Ugh those prices. Good shopping vid 🍎

$3.99 a pound for peaches!?!, damn I’m glad I live in South Georgia. Veggies are dirt cheap compared to where you live. WOW.

Thank you so much for this video! I was pretty good with reusable containers but somehow fell out of the habit, this reminded me that I need to get back in to it, and you taught me a couple of new tricks too (like the bring your own funnel thing- I even have a pocket sized collapsible funnel too!)

She said "potatoes and onions are her fav things to snack on."😂

This practice of zero waste , people in all the developer nations are so fascinated about is really pretty old trick , still 90% populations are following today. I recently being to U.S . Couple of things made me very sad. 1. People are using too much kitchen paper napkins or tissue papers. In India, I have never seen that in my house or friends or relative's house. I am from a upper middle class family, There my mother and grand mother always used the clothes. So that they can clean it if it got dirty. 2. People are too much using plastic bags, There we always use the tote bags which is very reliable and reusable. 3. Here in U.S., People too much use packed foods or processed foods instead of fresh cooked foods. 4. In U.S. people drink too much soda and processed fruit juices. In my family , we generally prepare lime juice, orange juice at home , Rest use as fruits only. In summer , we usually make Mango Lassi and Lassi. Here in U.S., people don't prefer to make it. I am not getting the reason ,It's because of laziness or not habituated or not educated enough. 4. Here in U.S., people won't do the car pooling that much. I tried with couple of people but it's like people are feeling it's a burden after sharing gas price also. In India we used to car pooling, bike pooling a lot. 5. In U.S people won't do more shopping on Markets or Farmer Markets. In India the Farmer Markets are 10 to 20 times larger than these tiny markets. We usually call it Vegetable Mundi. 6. In U.S people used to eat lots of sugar. In everything you will find sugar. Including sports drink also. I have seen till this in my university, all used to drink more coffee, ice tea, soda, flavored water. But taking only water ,that percentage of people is pretty bad. It might be tends to 2% - 4%. In India, people used to drink lots of plain water. I can say in my family, relatives and friends taking other feel like water items are 2% - 4%. 7. Here in U.S , people very quickly dispose things instead of reuse. In India, reusability is very popular. These are my personal observations. Just one thought, if 1.3 billion people will start living like U.S. then there would be no place to dump garbage in couple of years in the whole world.

Vegans in the comments shaming her because she's not vegan.... then they wonder why no one likes them. SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE ANIMAL PRODUCTS GET OVER IT.

Our local CSA has a 24 week timeframe (yours may be different based on growing season) Fresh fruits Veggies Honey Eggs And Meat can all be gotten on a CSA. Some CSAs also provide cheeses. (Keep in mind not all CSAs are the same but all of them support the local farms and local economy.)

I tried grocery shopping by using reusable bags for bulk the other day, and the cashier thought i was stealing. Like wow.

Ugh I wish I knew where this was since I'm in the north east too😂 I've been trying to live this lifestyle but it's hard when there's not much I can accomplish food wise

Damn, those store produce prices are high as hell!

I wish I lived near a shop like that

I just found a very similar store where I live and its only about 2-3 minutes of walk away from my home (: Can't wait to visit it and start buying local products there

I tried to go zero waste but I was eating a twix and tHrOwInG tHe PaCkAgInG

Dear lord, the vegans have been triggered in the comments. Anyways, I loved this video! I wish there were stores like this in my area.

I wished the supermarkets from my place would encourage zero waste shopping. Sometimes they even insist to give plastic bags even when I bring my owns! Your supermarket is goals 🙌

Never seen anywhere that sells food like that it’s so smart! You’d never get more than you needed

I came across your channel and I immediately subscribed! Quick question where do you live and what store is that because I live in an area where that is not available? I'm interested in starting a zero waste free life and my first step I took was skin care. I hope to continue this journey and watching your channel will encourage me! 😄

Nice; but next visit, please take them some door hinge oil -- yikes!

I'm so jealous that you have a store like that near you! None of the stores in our area sell bulk liquids, and most dry ingredients are impossible to find in bulk as well.

I use small mesh lingerie bags for fruit to keep them all separate and easy to get thru the cashier process quicker. Use painters tape and write down your tare weight on your jars and the price number as well....or even better....if you use mason jars, you can a sharpie on the metal lid part....it washes off easily.

I'm interested to know what your total grocery bill is..... just out of curiosity.

How do you make sure that the supermarket doesn't just open normal plastic packages of the products just to sell them without packaging for more money? That would just produce the same amount of waste except the seller produces the waste, not the customer.

She gives me that nice mom vibe😊

This is so encouraging, especially for a first-timer; it can be a very threatening environment to walk into and almost make you change your mind for convenience. Great video :)

where do you live this store is unreal

I have a store near me like that. Its called trader joes

I watch the video already 3 times . It's so inspiring . I'm trying to live zero waste to . Is nice that I don't need to go to a balk supper market but a normal one and buy everything there . I even manage to buy meat products in my own containers and is nice to here some positive comments from the people who are working there .

OMG that an amazing place to go shopping. Here where I live that doesn't exist. Every single thing comes in plastic. The only things that do not come in.plastic are the local produce vegetables.

Where is this store? I want to move here.

Are there any like this in the UK?

I wish in my country were stores like that. Or if they are and I don't know about them it means there are only few of them :/

My mum uses a permanent marker for her jars to write the weight and the item number because it’s usually the same jar. If it’s dark item you can use a grout marking pen or a white out pen. Write on the bottom because you don’t generally have to scrub a jar there and it will last longer. She puts the item number in [brackets] so it’s clear which is which and of course the weight has the short code for it like 372g. She’s been doing this most of my life. 🙂 👍 I have super light net bags at the store for vegetables. That box thing sounds really cool.

Watch out for the triggered vegans in this comment section

I wish I could do this but my parents would throw a fit. I got yelled at and I got a lecture when I told them I wanted to go vegetarian.. I cant imagine what they'd do if I showed them this 😒

I adore that grocery! All bulk!

OMG! I love it! I live in Poland, we won't have shops like yours in 200 years or so. Or maybe never. I'm trying to reduce waste in my family, I won't be zero waste, but I'm trying so hard every day. Hope people will understand someday that we need to take care of our planet. All the best :)

Vegans need to chill. Can't even enjoy her meat in peace. Damn.

$15.99 a pound ffffff

I really appreciate you actually explaining PLU :)

She’s so adorable!!!

Laughing at these people recommending veganism as animal friendly and eco friendly,😂. Spoken like people who have never been on a farm, or done large-scale farming a day in their life. First, the majority of plants are grown with fertilizer made from animal-by-product, ie blood, bones, fish bones, and manure. Organic produce uses twice as much. Unless you know the grower and he specifically grows vegan vegetables (another label😑), you are still consuming an animal fed product. Second, growing produce is just as environmentally taxing as raising animals for slaughter. Tractors and large machinery till the fields, trees and other native plants have to be felled, land has to be graded (leveled), and animals; bugs; birds are killed or removed so they don't eat all the growing plants. That's what pesticides and traps are for. The produce is harvested by hand and large machinery, processed by machinery, packaged, and shipped (ship or vehicles). Most of the produce in stores are from other countries, so more emissions in the shipping. Even local organic produce is trucked to the stores.

The vegans in these comments is why I stopped trying to be vegan.

Great video! So informative. I've watched a few about shopping, but this is most informative, explaining as you go! Thanks so much!

Wow that was. Really cool way to shop !!!!
