Definitely somewhere I will try to shop more. Not only are whole foods (particularly non gmo and/or organic) better to put in your body, but help our beautiful planet but using far fewer resources to produce. That being said, Loco not only brings these foods to you, but refrains from packaged products. Considering that nearly all food packaging is plastic or plasticized cardboard, this has a HUGE impact on the garbage created in our industrialized food system. I hadn't been prepared to actually shop here as I happened to be in the area killing time, but I did pick myself up some kombucha. A $1 deposit for my glass bottle (than is credited upon return if cleaned), and my kombucha only cost me $1.85! Yes it was for a smaller amount, but based on their price per gram it was still cheaper per volume than regular store bought kombucha, and I didn't feel like lugging a huge one around the rest of my day. They even had 4 kinds ready on tap! The concept is super simple! Bring your reusable containers (glass, tupperware, used windex bottle) and weigh it. Use the stickers provided to mark starting weight on your containers then shop, weigh and pay! I was impressed at their collection of goodies, ranging from miso paste t laundry detergent. Their fresh produce was limited however they've only been open for two weeks at this point. They even have a little lunch counter! The front half of the shop is host to a cafe and coworking space. read more
