i.e. one where you brought in your old coffee jars, detergent bottles, egg boxes, washing powder boxes etc etc and had them filled up. It wouldn't sell everything, but most of what you need. If you had no container, it would be supplied in a paper bag, or in a container you could re-use next time. Products would be the same trusted brand names that are sold everywhere else, not cheaper, inferior versions.
Please answer honestly as I'm opening this shop next year, and this is my paper-free, environmentally friendly market research!

When you buy on a market that is effectively what you do. I don't have a problem with it, but I wouldn't bother bringing back old egg boxes / jars.

Hmmm... I don't know. I would probably go check it out first. I LOVE the idea, but I must admit that I have a few concerns. Like - how would you make sure things were sanitary? What if people were bringing in disgusting containers? I'm assuming you've thought of that.
I think I would probably use it. Very interesting idea!

what a brilliant idea. I would use it - I am always complaining about how much packaging we have when we get home from the supermarket. I hope you are opening your shop in Cornwall UK so I can use it!!

Yes I think that's a great idea as long as it didn't include edibles.It would cut down on waste products but I'm afraid it would cut down employment as well.

No, I would just go to morrisons or tesco as usual. It's the experience I enjoy, I don't just go to buy basics.
