We started to go to Bin Inn for this, but then COVID happened and we never went back. I should try to make a special effort to get back to using them, because you're right, a lot of the time the packaging is not necessary at all.

Companies are buying 25kg bags of flour and repackaging it into smaller bags, when we should just be taking a container to a store and scooping in what we want.

i don't think the current situation is even that good, they're not repackaging themselves they just straight up ship in the small flour bags all the way from the factory.
