Tomorrow is National Bulk Food Day

Feel proud, bulk shoppers

By
October 22, 2010

Tomorrow is National Bulk Food Day, celebrating the budgetary, health, and eco-conscious pleasures of buying grains, granola, and other goodies from all those big plastic bins at the grocery store. Not a bulk-food shopper? Turns out the world of bulk has its own industry council, Bulk is Green, which has put up a series of how-to videos on YouTube. Celebrate with a bag of granola — or bypass the pre-made in favor of your own bulk blend of grains, nuts, and seeds. Lug it home, then make your own granola.

I’d gladly buy bulk items if other shoppers wouldn’t allow their kids to play in them.
