Second Wave?? With the second wave upon us and as a tiny community-based family run grocer, we are making some responsible changes to make the bulk basket family safe.

Starting Sunday, 22nd November 2020 (Tomorrow), 1. All dry food items can only be ordered online. 2. Liquid refills are allowed at the store. 3. Want to use your own containers, label them, and leave it at the store, for pick up next day. 4. Free home delivery for all orders above $40 and home delivery will be on three days (Sunday, Wednesday and Friday) 5. Express Grab option available for 5 items or less the same day (Should be ordered online) This year is like no other we have ever experienced, and we can only focus on what we are grateful for and continue to help shape the world, we want to live in post-pandemic, so let’s take care and be kind to each other. Please Stay Home and Be Safe! #yxe #Saskatoon #localfood #comfortfood #riversdaleyxe #communitygrocer #shop #sask #saskatchewan #shoplocalyxe #supportlocal #usask #thanksforthelove #bekind #joy #connection #covid19 #wearamaskifyoucan #thelittlethings #love #passion

Bulk Basket will be closed coming Wednesday, November 11th for Remembrance Day. We want to thank and show our respect to those who fought hard to protect our rights.

This Customer made my day! One of our new customers who moved from Ottawa was telling me this morning that, Bulk Basket has the best selection of organic products he has ever seen and the Organic Pecans and Walnuts were simple the best that he ever had in his lifetime (He is in his 70's). I told him that i am really happy to hear that and he made my day. ... All the work we put into procuring the best products are coming fruitful at these tough times. Also, we have been going through tonnes of spices these days and we do apologize if you are not able to get what you are looking. We promise that we are working to fix our supply chain problem and this will be fixed in a couple of weeks. There are more exciting changes coming to Bulk Basket, stay tuned!!!!

Open Regular Hours!!! Happy Thanksgiving Bulk Basket Family, We are thankful for all your support. The times are tough for small businesses, and we wouldn't be here without you! ... We hope you have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

Yet another reason to buy from a store with door!!! It is estimated that 5 billion pounds of returned items from all US retailers are thrown in the landfill every year in the US alone! It appears to be more cost effective for some retailers to throw out the returned items than to try to resell.... Please consider before you buy and before you return something. And consider regifting or donating or or trading or reselling yourself. Even better go and buy from a store with a door, so you can see and feel what you are buying and eliminate the need for returns! https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1803857987702

World Ozone Day Lets celebrate the fact that our ozone layer has been healing at a rate of 3% per year in the last decade. This incredible feat was possible due to the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty designed to protect the Ozone layer. We must do all that we can to further protect our ozone layer - the shield of gas that helps preserve life on earth. One of the main factors that lead to the depletion of the Ozone layer are harmful gases such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), emitted by refrigerators & air conditioners. Hence, even reducing their usage can go a long way in curbing the emission of CFCs.

Please Wear A Mask There are quite a few people that are anti-maskers for a variety of reasons. Some of those people believe that the whole thing is a hoax or a conspiracy and confront for making the mask mandatory Bulk Basket Even if this proves to be anything other than a real pandemic and by chance you could prevent the pandemic by wearing a mask, why not and stop the spread that is killing thousands of people at home and around the world.... Whether it was manufactured in a lab and released initially or was a mutant natural strain is irrelevant to how we respond to it here and now. Please, wear a mask! Please, social distance! Please, wash your hands! Please, stay safe!

Plastic production to triple by 2050!!! Just came across this article and even though i was aware that only a small percent of plastic is recycled and most go into land fills, but it looks like that percentage is a fractional!!! https://www.npr.org//how-big-oil-misled-the-public-into-be

At Bulk Basket, we are heartbroken to learn about the demise of one of our regulars and Saskatoons cycling advocate Cathy Watts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Trent and family.

Reusable Face Masks Our consumer appetite is draining the planet of its resources, here is why it is time to act more responsibly and swap your disposables forREUSABLES! We have become a throw away culture and the effects are now showing on Mother Earth. From beaches covered in plastic bottles, food wrappers, nappies & disposables wet wipes and more recently Disposable Face Masks. Did you know? The plastics used in these masks can leech into our oceans and water so...urces, creating an ecological hazard. These masks are either made from or contain non-biodegradable plastic fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, rayon, etc. These fibers contaminate the environment, especially when theyre being flushed into our water systems. Not to mention the single use packaging that ends up in landfill for up to 50 years and the masks taking 100+ years to decompose. And Yes, we can help you add another durable reusable to the list. Our new 80% Cotton reusable face mask!!! Have you swapped to any of these reusable items? Let us know what & help encourage others to make the swap!
