Floss said:All the ones I've been in across the country have dry goods in hoppers with a feed, rather than "big boxes with scoops". As I would be taking my own containers & I regularly use hand sanitiser I don't feel that there is any IPC issue.1

I started using a refill shop to reduce plastic use. So far I have used washing up liquid, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Trialling the ocean savers at the moment and refillable toilet cleaner.
Food wise, flour, popping corn, herbs and spices. Oh and the sweets for DD.
I also try to use soap much more, reusable cotton pads and flannels.2 -
I haven't been to the dedicated shop as it's out of town, but several places in town do bits and pieces.
I get washing up liquid, conditioner, & anti bac cleaner.
Going to add white vinegar when the bottle is empty and bubble bath (ditto).
