Bulk Bins
The illustrious bulk bins the area of my life where I know I could make the easiest change, yet I'm still hesitant. My family has never really been one that would use bulk bins, especially in a time when plastic packaging is so abundant. The only time I ever remember buying from bulk bins was before I went to summer camp as a child and my dad let me get a bag full of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans (from what I remember we were both surprised that a small bulk bag of Jelly Beans ended up costing us close to $15). The thing that makes me shy away from Bulk Bins is the convenience factor. Dried beans? I don't have time for those! The fact that you have to decide the night before what you want to cook doesn't work well with a fast paced DC lifestyle. I also have to battle the fact that most of my containers at home are plastic containers and I'm only now starting to stock up on glass jars. Because of this I don't have a good place to store my bulk bin items. For now I'm hoping to take the plunge into bulk bins soon, and I hope that it doesn't become a burden in the process.
