Bulk food aisle in Rochester Hills, MI
Gone are the days when you had to go to a natural foods grocery to find bulk foods. Major grocery chains are now adding bulk foods at a record level. Still, if you don’t find bulk at your neighborhood grocery, tell them you want it!
Tell them you want the savings and selection that come from bulk. Tell them you want to see your food before you buy it, and not just trust some fancy picture on a box. And tell them you want to reduce your impact on the environment.
Finally, tell your grocer that bulk foods allow him to stock more product density in less space – and that he won’t have to constantly rearrange his shelves to maintain fresh product.

Food packaging may limit a consumer’s ability to buy in quantities desired which can result in food surplus and ultimately waste.

Packaged food goods require significantly more transportation to bring to shelf. The manufacture of packages pulls trees from our forests, uses enormous amounts of energy and shoots tons of CO2 into our atmosphere. Plus, packaging is a burden on our landfills. With bulk foods, you’ll be a better environmental citizen!
