[Bulk Barn] Bulk Barn (save 25%) Reuseable Container Program

Not sure how it would work but I assume you have to have them weigh your container empty and then weight it once you make your purchase?

Seems like a nice promo. Discount is decent.

Yes that's correct. They'll weigh just your container first. make sure you approach a cashier before you start shopping

Not worth the hassle since it doesn't stack with other discounts.

It's not too much extra hassle. Deal is good for things you want but aren't particularly on sale at the time you're there. You just give them your container(s) and they markup the weights on them. Takes like 30 seconds. Also, for the environmental warriors it helps save some plastic bag waste.

People can scoop stuff in theirs and if it’s too much they scoop it back into the bulk barn bin. Perfect way to get cross contamination’s

At least Bulk Barn is trying. We've got to do something about single use packaging. Making excuses as to why you can't doesn't help. We've been using this method for a while.and it works great.

I don't think of it as a discount, I think of it as a premium for all y'all single-use-plastic using folks Winking Face

Edit: The ;) wink is too aggressive! lol.

I haven't seen bulk barn $3 off $10 in sometime. Have they stopped giving the coupon or I missed out?
BTW, I fully support any efforts made towards environment preservation even if brings some hassle.

Ya it works good if people wash containers. But with the 1% of idiots out there, it'll ruin it for everyone or get someone sick.

In the last couple of months it has been more of $5 off $20 so basically 25% off.

I have not seen the $3 for $10 in a while too unfortunately.

Bought $130 worth of organic stuff I use to make a cereal mix and came to $100. For some of the higher price items you can’t find anywhere else it’s awesome.

It’s best to bring same containers to reduce weighting all of the containers one after another at the store front. Yes cross contamination can happen but as long as your not allergic then overall risk is small. At least in my eyes.

To grow up in a society where we worry about "cross contamination" with containers at BULK BARN, which is the exact reason why so many people have less than ideal immune systems.

I don't deny the fact that it is possible some one in a million person will use a container that they used to store raw pork in and didn't clean properly, but I think that's where the cashiers come in

Any idea how long dry bulk items last before going stale?
Quinoa
Almonds
Flax
Chia
Sesame
Brazil nuts
Walnuts
Hazelnuts/filberts

Its great but they should give 50% for encouraging our own containers, they arent cheap prices just that they do bulk so u can try a small amount and toss if you dont like it in a recipe, etc unlike major grocery chains... Bulk barn can certainly afford to give such a 50% discount tbh...
They do have some nice stock of things usually not available other places, just wish they had more things that are hard to find and have to go hunting and discover in a small mom and pop place... All for mom and pop stores but big chains should also carry hard to find things, its not easy to get around here in the artic north (and im in toronto) and accessibility is super important for the disabled as well...

I love when people know how much discount a company can afford and what the price of things should be. Why stop at 50% though.
