More Zero Waste Ideas...

Zero waste groceries shopping I...
Found this gem in Govindpuri market today. Another option, if the old Nirvaaha store in Defence Colony doesn't suit you...
We bought:
* Flour- wheat, ragi, soy, gram & jau (bought all these flours separately and then mixed them up to make a multigrain flour)
* Nuts- almonds, cashews and walnuts
* Largest packs of pre-packaged cornflakes and oats (the kind of size and healthier brands, you don't find in the modern kind of local stores)
...in our own reusable shopping bags
- If you buy larger quantities, they would sell their wares lose (bulk). Otherwise, they keep 500gms of flour and 250gms of nuts, packed in plastic, readily available.
-They also had soy chunks, badi (/vadi), puffed rice (mamra/murmura), Poha, all kinds of grains, beans, lentils and such things, loose as well.
There have to be such old-timey flour mills near you as well. Look them up on Google maps.
