The Mighty Bin

"What a cool idea! All the staples + a lot more, and it is all zero/minimal waste and packaging. The prices are reasonable too. Pro tip: ride your bike here to get a little discount ;)"

"Just found this gem in Northpark! They have an amazing selection of dry goods and cleaning products that are all eco-friendly and organic. Mini gluten-free and vegan options as well. If you are looking to refill your pantry and not contribute to more plastic waste, this is your spot. Nothing else like it in San Diego! We met the couple who are the new owners and they are really sweet as well."

"Unfeasible. This is just a hipster shop where the experience of buying zero waste costs 5x the price of a normal food, just like the North Park farmers market is so expensive. I had high hopes for this store, especially knowing that they can buy food in bulks and make it accessible to everyone. But apparently if you want to buy there and don’t produce waste you need to be RICH to afford the food. Never returning to that store again. You should learn from food markets in Latin America and Europe where buying food by the weight it’s actually affordable and makes sense. The idea is cool but only in America such a thing gets twisted and non accessible."

"Absolutely love this concept! It takes bulk buying into a whole new level by using jars as the containers instead of little plastic bags with twist ties. Good pricing, great selection and you can even check selection and inventory on their website."

"The Mighty Bin is the first zero waste grocery store in San Diego. This is a brand new store and I absolutely love it. All of their ingredients are super high quality and organic. This place is designed thoughtfully and accepts/gives jar donations. Don't expect a huge place, but rather a boutique experience at a fair price. If you want a delightful way to support a female-owned local business, I highly recommend checking it out. I am definitely coming back again and again."
