The principle of shopping in bulk
There are countless bulk shops that have sprung up in recent years. Bulk is undoubtedly a great trend that makes it possible to combine waste reduction and well-being. Limiting disposable packaging and favouring reusable glass packaging is also often more economical. So, are you ready to live happier with less packaging? Today, all foods can be bought without packaging, especially in specialised bulk shops.
Do not change your habits overnight. Take it one step at a time, starting with just one product line, such as flours or cosmetics.

Our tips for filling your bottles and jars
1. Before shopping in bulk: make an inventory of bottles and jars
Successful bulk shopping also means being well organised before you go to the shop. Make a list of the food you need on your smartphone. You can, for example, create a shared list or put a notepad in the kitchen. This way, the whole family can participate in the shopping.
Before you leave, go through your list and take the appropriate food bottles and jars with you in a large shopping bag. Take one or two extra jars in case you find something extra that you haven't thought of. Make sure you only take washed or sterilised food jars for better hygiene.
Glassmania offers you a selection of bottles and jars perfect for storing your dry foods, such as rice, pasta, flour and legumes:
For the storage of fresh food such as cheese or meat, we advise you to choose an airtight glass box to keep everything fresh. And for as long as possible!
