How it Works: Fill, Weigh And Pay

First time shopping at the Yamba Wholefoods refillery? It’s easy! Choose what you love, take only what you need and cut down on packaging along the way.

1. Choose your bag or container

Use our bags or bring your own clean, dry jars and containers. If you’re bringing your own, visit us at the counter before filling. We’ll weigh your empty containers so you only pay for what’s inside.

2. Fill with what you need

Whether it’s a spoonful for a recipe or enough to restock your pantry, fill as little or as much as you like.

Keep each product in its own bag or container—please don’t mix different items, even if they’re the same price.

3. Write down the product code

Write the code number displayed on the product label on your bag. If you’re using your own container, keep a note of the code for each item so we can identify it at checkout.

4. Bring it to the counter

Bring your filled bags and containers to us at the counter. We’ll weigh everything, deduct any recorded container weight and work out the price.

A few tips for your first visit

• Start small. Try refilling a few everyday staples while you get familiar with the process.
• Bring a shopping list. If you’re cooking from a recipe, note the quantities you need before you visit.
• Make sure containers are clean and completely dry. This helps keep your purchases fresh.
• Record each code as you go. It’s much easier than remembering everything at the end.
• Ask for help anytime. We’re happy to show you how it works.

You don’t need a perfectly organised pantry or a collection of fancy containers to shop the refillery. Bring what you have, buy what you need and take it one refill at a time.
