Buying Oil and Vinegar in Bulk
While Bulk Barn and Papillon have a lot of the things that I need for our Reduce Our Waste lifestyle, it has proven more elusive to buy canola oil and vinegar in bulk. I had to head to beautiful downtown Montreal
and “The Main” aka Boulevard St-Laurent to find a store that offered what I had been seeking:
I went to Frenco, a locally owned green, bulk store for wannabe zero wasters like me, link here:
The store offers everything that you need in bulk :
In addition to my long sought after canola oil and apple cider vinegar, Frenco also carries a variety of oils (grapeseed, almond, sunflower, olive) and vinegars (balsamic, white, white wine, red wine):
They also sell laundry soap and other cleaning products in bulk. I was so excited with my purchase:
that I had to celebrate. All this shopping got me hungry. While I could have gone to Schwartz’s:
around the corner from Frenco is a great place for Jerk Chicken:
Only $6 for the jerk chicken and rice bowl. A satisfying end to a satisfying shopping expedition.
