Reasons to Shop the Bulk Bins

Posted by Writer - February 28, 2022 - All Natural Food Store

If you’re not familiar with the bulk section of your local grocery store, there are many reasons why you should check it out. For starters, when you buy bulk foods, you’re saving money. You can get exactly how much of something you need. Since you aren’t buying all that extra packaging, you’re helping the Earth by reducing the amount of waste that will eventually be sent to a landfill.

Here’s some more information on why you should buy bulk foods.

Save cash

Buying from the bulk bins is less expensive than the same pre-packaged foods, especially for organic items. Some foods have a deeper discount than others when buying from bulk bins, too. Check out spices and tea for some seriously unbelievable deals.

Another way the bulk bins save you money is that you can buy exactly how much you need. For example, if you only need a small amount of a particular item for a recipe, you can buy just that amount instead of a whole box that may remain mostly unused. It’s not only saving you money, but it’s also being less wasteful.

Greener shopping

The bulk bins are the place to be if you’re looking to be a more environmentally-conscious shopper. There’s a lot less packaging involved in the bulk bins. You fill a bag or container with what you need, and that’s it—no boxes or extra packaging. Some bulk bin locations even allow you to bring your own reusable container—just be sure to note the weight of the container before filling it (this is called a tare weight).

Explore new foods

Shopping the bulk bins is a great way to try new foods. You can get a small amount of something new to see if you like it. There’s a lot of variety in the bulk section, so you may never run out of new foods to try. This can be great for snack foods or cravings, but it can also be great for unfamiliar foods like different types of grains, beans, flours and more.

Healthy eating

Food in the bulk section is often better for you than the pre-packaged items in the grocery section. This is in part because they tend to be less processed than pre-packaged foods. There are often more organic items available, too. Dried fruits, nuts and whole grains are staples of the bulk section, and shopping in this section can drive your eating habits in a healthy direction.

Not just loose foods

Bulk bins are mostly self-serve areas where you add a desired amount into your container or bag, but many bulk sections have convenient to-go packages of items from the bulk bins as well. If you’re in a hurry or need a sturdier container than a plastic bag, this can be a great option that allows you to still buy bulk foods.

If you’re looking to save money, go green in your shopping or try new foods without being wasteful, buying in bulk is the way to go. For the best selection and quality of bulk foods, check out Bee Hive Natural Foods today.
