A little bit of everything
Some stores just have it all. From food to fashion, these next picks will cater to most of your everyday needs.
Nude foods
Nude foods is a plastic-free, family grocer and an immersive eco-friendly shopping experience that leaves you feeling proud of your shopping decisions after you leave. The shop offers nothing packaged in plastic and encourages you to bring your own glass jar or container for their products (they also sell glass jars for unprepared shoppers). You can buy whole foods, and other healthy foods like powders, grains, legumes and many many other products.
They pride themselves on their high-quality produce and support local suppliers as well. Other products in-store include body products, books, home cleaning products, drinks like cordials and kombuchas, dry goods, fresh fruit and veg, preserves, spreads, bread, and a restaurant right next door where you can purchase delicious vegan meals to enjoy after your shopping. Have a look at their website for prices and to order online, although we definitely recommend paying them a visit in person.
