picture for bulk food...but its pretty.
for all you perth residents i just thought i'd give you the heads up if you haven't already been to loose produce in como. its a bulk food store with a massive biodynamic & organic range that is clearly labeled on each item. the best part is that you take all your own containers & fill them up there. there's all your dry pantry ingredients, coffee/tea plus a great organic range of toiletries, dairy products, cordials, honey etc etc etc.
i have a large selection of glass preserving jars that i take up with me, you have them weighed before you fill them with your goodies & thats it. it means that you can buy up in bulk or if you don't use much of something, take a little container & only buy that. it eliminates wastage & also a lot of packaging. its also great when you get home because there is no need to unpack & pour all your flour etc into containers...you've already done it!! if you're not in perth, i'd highly recommend hunting down something similar. if you time it right you may only have to make the trip once every three months or even less. check out http://www.looseproduce.com/ for their location & further details.
