Bare Necessities

Got your own container? When you come on in, the first thing to do, is weigh all your containers. Simply bring them to the till, we will weigh them all out for you and apply an (eco friendly) sticker to your bottle noting its weight. And it’s fine if you don’t use them all that day, because at least they will be pre-weighed for future use! You can then go and fill your container as needed and then bring to the till when ready to pay. We will then weigh your container again, subtract the weight of the container and then you pay for exactly what you bought. It’s SO important you weigh the container before you fill to ensure you get an accurate weight of your food/liquids. Failure to do so may result in an estimation of the bottle weight. We will provide scales for you to use around the store to give you an idea on how much product you are buying, so it’s important to start with a little, and add to it as necessary, as anything dispensed cannot be put back into the containers due to contamination risks. Not got your own container? You can either grab a fancy new bottle from one of our shelves, or a re-purposed bottle from one of the crates beneath the scoop bins. Repurposed bottles are sourced from Wareham cafes and shops and sterilised ready for use and all containers are put through our dishwasher to ensure they are sparkling for you. However, they are a little more mix and match than the bottles on shelves. All bottles already in store, will be pre-weighed and marked, meaning you can pick them up and get filling. Once filled, bring them to the till and there you will be charged the cost of the bottle, and the weight of produce in it. In future, you can then bring these back and will not have to pre-weigh provided the sticker is still visible, and only pay for the goods in them. So to keep it simple… Come in, weigh all containers you have brought at the till Shop around and fill pre-weighed containers with produce When done, bring back to till to weigh again, and we’ll subtract container weight. Pay!
