So... I tried zero waste grocery shopping at Whole Foods. It was... not even hard!
Do you have access to a dedicated zero waste grocery store? Or just bulk bins in general? Or are you someone who has to do their best at place like Target, Walmart, or even Aldi?
I'm thinking I'll do HEB or Sprouts next, would love to hear what you would like to see (:

What about zero waste at Asian and Mexican market? It would be cool to showcase zero waste accessibility in different kinds of markets too.

@gundimytube 5 лет назад

And Indian grocery stores!

@RealJudyi 5 лет назад

It depends on how big the market is....but yeah this is true. I find more zero waste options in Mexican and Indian stores....Korean Marts not so much. The thing is that Mexicans are extremely wasteful in everything. We tend to use plastic for two small items and sometimes we double bag them too. I realize this now and I cringe when I see my family members and grandmas doing it. Why have a plastic bag for a jug of milk or gallon of juice....we ain't walking more than to the car and from the car to our homes. I've trained my own family to reject bags as much as possible. I'm so proud of them.

Biodigradable still breaks down into microplastics though :(

@alexandramae6600 5 лет назад

Technically everyone is biodegradable

@TATIANABUTTS 4 года назад

B Davi Biodegradable means that it can be broken down by living things like bacteria and funghi. Degradable means the plastic breaks down into micro plastics. Although biodegradable materials return to nature and can disappear completely they sometimes leave behind metal residue, on the other hand, compostable materials create something called humus that is full of nutrients and great for plants. So if the packaging is truly BIO-degradable, it shouldn’t be harmful for the environment

In Austin, you can purchase your Pasta Zero-waste from Gourmet Texas Pasta. They are at most Farmer's Markets in the area. You just e-mail them your request and explaining your needs, and they'll package it special for you in paper bags. I've been doing this about two months. The owner is super nice and is happy to accommodate the zero-waste community.

@karissarempel3145 5 лет назад

You can just take a picture of the PLU numbers instead of typing out in notes. Then just resort to your camera roll at check out! Saves more time"̮

@thesustainableindianjalebi5936 4 года назад

@amanda4313 5 лет назад

Hi Shelbie! Since the supplier is local, have you thought about reaching out to them about reducing the waste on their butter lettuce? Maybe open a discussion with the company? 💕

@christinamforte 4 года назад

Using the salad bar to get packaging free items is genius! You can get cottage cheese, grape tomatoes, shredded cheese, and all sorts of stuff that is normally impossible to find without plastic packaging!

@elizah8951 5 лет назад

Quorn does have vegan chicken nuggets. It's packaging for vegan items has a green vegan label on it. This may be different in Texas but keep an eye out just in case!

@sunflower7089 5 лет назад

Lizzy Hoh good to know. I live in Colorado and I’ve seen Quorn vegan burgers but nothing else which is disappointing because my husband eats their stuff but he’s not vegan. I am vegan so I don’t eat them but I’ll get them for him just to keep him interested in moving toward the light 🙂

@CosmicNiffler2102 5 лет назад

I would love to see an attempt at making your own pasta!

@rubymartinez84 5 лет назад

Jackie D Tasty has some really good videos on how to make pasta

@Marika50 4 года назад

Making your own pasta is really easy. It litterally needs 4 eggs, 2 table spoons of olive oil, pitch salt and about 3 cups of flour. You can use egg substitute if you don't want to use eggs.

@mads7477 4 года назад

Pasta is super easy once you’ve done it a couple of times, definitely helps to have a pasta roller but it’s fine if you don’t just takes a little longer :)

@heathenTovea 5 лет назад

I use cotton produce bags because after I get lettuce , kale , or whatever I put in the bag . I get it wet and stick it in the fridge it lasts twice as long so their is less food waste. Just a tip for those that don't know.

@cjrdeveaux 5 лет назад

Since Amazon bought WF, the amount of single use plastic wrap and packaging has increased. I have emailed them continuously and continue to get the same stock letter back. I now buy the items and swap the plastic out at the customer service course and leave them the plastic. As t seems my appeal for them to get rid of the plastic is futile.

@kaylawaters2691 5 лет назад

Kroger sells a lot of veggies with no packaging for reasonable prices, including snap peas and organic veggies.

@winter-wb7cf 5 лет назад

Kayla Waters and they are working to be zero waste in a few years!

@kathleen6288 4 года назад

Plus they send coupons for the items you actually use! I have also gotten free coffee & chips with coupons they sent. I love Kroger!

@TeddieBeary 5 лет назад

Honestly I’d love to see you go to like a mom and pop shop and do a package free thing or like a little scratch and dent store and talk about “expiration dates”!

@markjeromelaboc1354 4 года назад

"Rice is something that I always try to get in bulk" That amount of rice is just enough for a meal in my family. We usually buy a 50-kilo(110 lbs) pack or rice. And it will be gone in just two weeks.

@samaitadas9772 3 года назад

Exactly what I thought 😂

@sarapatterson5525 5 лет назад

Oh... also, at Whole Foods you can tare mason jars and put sugars and spices in those!

@Anna-pd6dc 5 лет назад

It's weird I've actually never seen brussel sprouts NOT package free. Just a good reminder of how location specific things are

@debbiecane5660 4 года назад

Yes, I live in Canada and never see Brussels sprouts in packages either. My impression from the videos like this from the US that I’ve seen is that there is a lot more plastic in the produce section! 😕

@makenziekernan6531 5 лет назад

SPROUTS (if you have one) often has package free brussel sprouts!!!

@CF. 4 года назад

Makenzie Kernan still true, even in Covid-19 times. I just saw them in a huge heap today.

@taytaysharrard 4 года назад

I LOVE sprouts omg

@mercedeswinter7902 5 лет назад

One of my ALL time fav tips for buying flower etc when you can’t use jars, use the paper bags that are usually by the bulk mushrooms, they are light in weight and can be recycled afterwards or used again, this is also a good tip if you’ve just forgotten your bags

@supernova622 5 лет назад

In my experience, the individual russet potatoes tend to be massive compared to the ones in the bag. I think you pay a bit of a premium to get such hugemongous potatoes.

@xgrimesreaper 5 лет назад

i take pictures of the plu/sign, that way i can keep track of prices (especially sale prices if they don’t come out for the cashier)

@steviegallagher1801 5 лет назад

brussels sprouts package free at whole foods are really only a thing around thanksgiving :/ they come ON THE STALK its crazy looking

@nicoledwg1 5 лет назад

They're not in season now, so I'd imagine they have to package them more heavily.

@typicalcassie2256 5 лет назад

Stevie Gallagher i would grow them myself, this year for the first time i started a garden. it only had cucumbers, peppers( which never grew:( ) lettuce and garlic

@sarahgoelz6385 4 года назад

I've seen them on the stalk at Trader Joe's as well, I'm not sure if it's all the time, because I never buy brussels sprouts, I only noticed them because, yeah, they're crazy looking on the stalk lol.

@siancropper705 4 года назад

After watching this video series, I've come realise what I thought was lack of option for plastic free in Australian supermarkets, especially produce, is more option than the American ones. We still have a long way to go, but I feel America deffinetly has further!

@sydneywilliams4796 5 лет назад

I’m glad you did this and showed the sign that says you’re allowed to use your own bags/jars/containers in the bulk section. Apparently some Whole Foods (without the sign in the bulk section) have managers that say that you aren’t allowed to use your own bags because it’s against health code. I can’t help but believe if some stores adhere to this “rule” and others don’t that it’s not true and they just don’t want to deal with the hassle of taring jars, etc.

@Rinnymoon 4 года назад

You should try Dollar General or Rays Produce, just because I live in a small down and these are pretty much all we have :’) I love the zero waste idea, but I find it extremely hard at Rays and DG.

@j4k3vlogs 5 лет назад

I work at Whole Foods and so I was waiting for you to do a video at it!! And I loved it!!

@shannonbonas1084 4 года назад

Are all Whole Foods different? I live in ct and my store has a very small bulk section. I can’t seem to find a place near me with a good bulk section :(

@Courtney6 5 лет назад

@caitberries 3 года назад

I know you said that keeping the bulk PLUs in your phone isn't the most convenient thing for your cashier, but as a cashier I'm impressed that you even have the codes, period!! Lmao there are too many people that come up to the register and either don't know the PLU/don't have it written down, or don't even know WHAT THEY BOUGHT. Annoys me beyond belief. So having your PLUs in your phone or written somewhere, even if not on the bag itself, is genuinely so helpful!

@EBETZEN 5 лет назад

@MrsBee-uo2lc 5 лет назад

As a solution for a flour/ sugar type bag, You could take a bag that has a very close weave or tight grid And just dip it in heated beeswax, Kind of like how you can make your own DIY Food container covers. So same concept just use a bag Instead. I think you could use any kind of cloth bag as well because the bees wax will seal it up.👍🤷‍♀️😉

@carolinearchambault879 5 лет назад

Your video is superb. I really liked when you introduced vegan products and your bag in bulk. The end of your video was really cool I'm in love with your channel. I just discovered your channel. I think I'm an addict of your videos.

@kich6172 3 года назад

The difference between the bulk potatoes and the bagged is the size. The bagged are much smaller potatoes, so the bulk are typically the equivalent of 2-3 of the bagged.

@kitty1995m 5 лет назад

I just started trying to move into zero waste and grocery shopping has been overwhelming to me (especially with a husband who loves packaged snacks!). I'm so excited to find someone from Austin to learn from! I'd love an HEB shopping video since that's where I go most often. I look forward to learning more from you 😊

@veronicabrown7614 5 лет назад

For those in the New England area, Hannaford and Market Basket are typically good resources for zero-waste/minimal waste shopping. Hannaford can be a little bit pricier than Market Basket in some areas, and of course selection differs store to store, but on the whole Hannaford tends to have better produce. I know some stores for both chains used to have bulk bins, I haven't seen them in my area recently but I'm sure some stores still have them!

@katierichards5947 5 лет назад

@irenatheginger2491 5 лет назад

Pretty cool to see this, thanks! For me, I definitely have to weigh in price when it comes to some stable items, especially when it comes to potatoes and onions, also I'm lazy and hate chopping garlic, so I only have to buy 2 giant jars of it a year instead, for me it's worth it. And one other nice thing, the church I go to, we do a weekly free meal and give out boxes of food to those who need it within the community. Well, my church knows I'm vegan, so whenever meatless products come in, they set them aside for me to have, and unfortunately a lot of the people will complain about getting meat free options too... After seeing the price for some of the Beyond Meat products at the grocery store, I like that I get the occasional free item here and there.

@MinimalistBosnian 5 лет назад

You're literally so entertaining and I could watch your videos day and night. I've ran into a bit of a situation... I have no videos left to watch. oops. You could literally peel a banana back and eat it and talk about somebody who pissed you off in traffic for 20 minutes and I'd watch it. Thanks for being a huge inspiration and helping me on this Biiiig journey! I don't know if you care but I recently got a 40 oz hydroflask for water and am saving my 21 oz for coffee refills at the coffee shop & homemade. (:

@horrorlover9794 5 лет назад

I found out a lot of huge companies are working on getting rid of plastic. It’s people like you that helped me and companies be more mindful 😊

@angelalee7012 5 лет назад

Those plastic net bags are great as scrubbies and you can get a lot of use out of them. So if you can't find something without the net, you can re-purpose the bag afterwards. You can use them for general cleaning, washing up dishes or even as a loofa. Rinse and dry when you're done and keep using. It's not as ideal as loose produce, but that's one way to work around it.

@StrollingThroughLife 5 лет назад

Great video! I’ve never seen a Whole Foods have a sign saying you can bring your own container. That’s awesome! 👍

I live in Northern California, and Winco, which is is a few of the Western states, has loose brussel sprouts and snap peas all the time! I buy loose sprouts once a week usually. They don't have an abundance of organic produce, but they're prices are great and zero waste shopping there is surprisingly easy!!

@rubymartinez84 5 лет назад

I’ve noticed wheatsville carries snap peas in bulk, they even offer brown paper bags instead of plastic in case you forget your own containers

@Ma5jay5dontxdoxthat 5 лет назад

I know it technically is in a plastic casing but if you use a dry erase marker or a chalk markers on your jars and containers, itll be easier for both you and the cashier. I'm pretty sure if you look up chalk markers on Amazon you can find some in cardboard packaging, and they last forever. So even though you did buy plastic. If you're only using it for writing a few numbers or letters at a time it wouldnt be super wasteful because if you get a pack of 10 you probably wont ever finish 1 for a year or 2.

@carlybersin4755 3 года назад

I went to the goodwill outlet and purchased materials to upcycle into grain sacks, spice bags, and produce bags. That took textile waste out of the landfill plus the packaging as well.

I agree, I would love to see you shop in Mexican grocery stores. The ones around me have unpackaged fruits/ veggies like mushrooms, fresh herbs, bulk cereal, package less candy, bulk nuts, fresh bread unpackaged, premade food, bulk salsas, even bulk things like cheeses and sour creams. I've brought my own container to grab some salsa they did give me a sticker for the weight tho. The two grocery stores I'm talking about are El Super and Northgate Market in the Los Angeles area. I think it would be cool if you could give Mexican Groceries a try and more exposure as its very affordable to buy package free from them.

@vibingvegan 5 лет назад

Great video Shelby! I don't know if it's because i'm from Canada, or if it's the stores I shop at but we actually have a lot of bulk options / items not in plastic here. I usually have no problem finding things that you said you have a hard time finding.

@alaisha740 5 лет назад

I used to work at Sprouts! I saw you'd mentioned trying to do package-free shopping there. They usually have package-free snap peas, and often have on-the-stalk brussels sprouts, as well as loads of other veggies with no or very low packaging. A variety of peppers, chilis, mushrooms (not just portobello). Haven't seen any butter lettuce without a package there. You won't usually find any bulk liquids such as oil, soap, vinegar, coconut aminos, etc, and I haven't ever seen bulk dry pasta. Huge selection of granola, nuts, dried fruit, candy, rice, quinoa, oats, other grains, and spices! My store carried some less-common dry bulk as well like pine nuts, carob chips, citric acid, dried lavender, and even some bulk teas. Small amount of package-free (or with a single sticker or paper slip) soaps. At my store, we did allow people to bring in their own containers but you had to know the tare-weight of them. Can't say whether all locations will allow that though. If anyone has any questions about package-free at sprouts, or anything about them really, I'd be happy to answer! Though, I worked there about two years so my info may be slightly out of date

@karollima7556 5 лет назад

So with produce that comes in net bags, you can diy the opening by stitching fabric and making an opening to put a string through and tie it so you can reuse them if they’re the only things available

@paolamucino7842 5 лет назад

We recently moved to Rochester, NY and they have an awesome farmers market that is supported 100% by the city's government and their prices are awesome, sooo affordable. Produce doesn't even come with the barcode stickers since they come right from the farm and there are tooons of farms around. I'm just so happy that at least I can do better with the produce, but I'm having a harder time with other stuff because of the prices and we are on a very tight budget.

@alyssapape6463 4 года назад

It’s so funny what bulk foods vary by region. At my bulk stores, Brussels sprouts and garlic and ESPECIALLY pasta are package free staples. Our winco has at least a dozen different options for bulk pasta.

@Essack602 4 года назад

Thank you! Your vids are always helpful!!! ❤️

@YvaiatheDemon 5 лет назад

I fully agree and really like your video but with the packed vs unpacked comparison its not only the package tat counts. Like with the Squash it was not only packaged but also cut up which saves work (Like me who is lazy, we prefer not having to cut it ourselfs xD) I am sure that influences the price as well

@Rinnymoon 4 года назад

It takes just as much, if not more work to grow the plant and nurture it though.

@snorlaxjen 5 лет назад

You’d love it in the UK at Christmas there’s Brussels sprouts everywhere including unpackaged! Even on the stalk or “Brussels sprout tree” 😊

@5:41 "you need to weigh your options" - most underrated pun in this video

@kylies7228 5 лет назад

I used to work at Whole Foods! FYI: The BYOC rule depends on the region, so where you're at in the SW region it's allowed but up here in the PNW region it is not. Potential hack would be using the compostable hot bar/salad bar containers for your bulk items. As long as you tell the cashier ringing you out it's no big deal, I encouraged customers to do this. Also, I have seen package free brussel sprouts there before, it's just a bit hit or miss.

@Megs2Dope 5 лет назад

A lot of times seasonal produce will be package free. Example you can get corn in plastic wrap year round, but when it's in season they will have bins without packaging. I live in a rural area and I tend to eat a lot more veggies in the summer when I can do a CSA or go to the market.

@googleuser8656 5 лет назад

I am so suprised that you are suprised to find package free fruit and veggies, especially lettuce. Here where i live, in Croatia, everything has a plastic free option in every grocery store, only the smaller berries and such are in plastic. Nuts are always in bulk as well. On the farmers market as well, every thing is package free. The bad thing is that most people just put them in a free thin plastic bag, but many also bring their own 😄 Your challenge would be quite easy to do in Croatia😂

@@monikakalinowska3499 it's a really environmentally-friendly sunscreen.

So for people who have money to spare it's great thing to use it towards helping the planet over frivolous purchases :)

Just got my reusable grocery bags and produce bags... needed enough to bring home grocerys for 3 kids.... they are excited for their own bags to fill with their fav fruits and veggies

I would love to see Sprouts, I just moved next to one and I thought it would be a great low waste option but I'm actually finding it surprisingly challenging to shop there.

@ah5721 5 лет назад

if you stay in the middle of the store and bring your own bags you wont have as much of a problem. I've been shopping at Sprouts for 6 years or more now.

I just went into one for the first time and was appalled at the lack of non-dairy milk options. I don't know if I just went into a smaller store or if they're all like that.

@@bonniea8189 I haven't tried to buy that but I did notice mine seemed to have several options. Maybe it was a small one?

@@thebugbear I go out of my way to shop at the Sprouts in my area in MD bc they actually let us use our own containers, unlike the WFs that is right next door to my job. I've also bought spices in bulk. Love it and just wish there was one closer to home or work.

@@bonniea8189 weird that yours didn't have at least 1 or 2 dairy free options. Maybe they're placed elsewhere away from the dairy options to avoid confusion??? 🤷‍♀️

Yessss I love the blanco Whole Foods because their bulk is amazing. I love that they have apple cider vinegar in bulk!

@blancaaaestela 5 лет назад

Bailey Schneider when you say Blanco do you mean on 1604 in SA? I go to the Quarry and have yet to see vinegar in bulk. It might be worth the trip to Stone Oak!

@baileyschneider2797 5 лет назад

Blanca M. Yes! The bulk at the blanco one is way better than the quarry one. And overall it is a much nicer store with more options! I used to live 10 minutes from the quarry but I moved and now am closer to the blanco location and I love it!

@blancaaaestela 5 лет назад

Bailey Schneider thanks for the heads up! I’ll make a trip up there soon then.

I rarely shop at wholefoods, but I make sure I am hungry when I go, because their hot food is amazing!

I live in Canada and love shopping at the Bulk Barn for most things, spices included. I use the Bernard 250ml wide-mouth mason jars for my spices, this store encourages bringing your own glass containers (sometimes offering 20% off of purchases) - win! win! I prefer storing directly into the glass jar the spice will live in, rather than cloth or nylon bags...washing spices like turmeric or chili powder out of them is very difficult!

About the brussel sprouts: I've gone to my local Whole Foods before and they sold brussel sprouts still attached to the stalk!

the snap peas at the place i work are always package free. we have some packaged but if you go to the “wets” section there’s a ton of stuff package free (i work in produce at meijer which is a grocery store in the midwest)
