We’ve had a few people messaging us lately to ask advice on where to find bulk/package-free foods and lifestyle products in Melbourne, so we wanted to share a few of our favourite places with you. (We know a lot of you live in other cities around the world too, so we’d love to hear about your favourite stores in your city - please drop us a comment below!)

Friends of the Earth Co-op

This bulk food co-op is a non-profit run by volunteers, and offers package-free food, fruit & veggies, health and eco cleaning products. It’s great for bringing in your own jars to fill up on liquid items like olive oil, vinegars, shampoo, detergents & more. You can even get non-packaged tofu here.

They also have a lovely vegan cafe that has daily organic lunch specials, baked treats and fair trade teas.

Go for: bulk goods and a yummy lunch
