Thanks for flagging this! The links have been updated. We very much appreciate it, happy reading!

Hi Stephanie – I bring my own reusable produce bags at Sprouts to fill at their bulk section, because it is often difficult to have someone available to tare my jars upon arrival. If your jars are weighted beforehand, the cashiers can easily subtract that from your item weight at checkout (as I’ve seen it done before). I do still produce trash my way, as I use those little twisty tags to write item #s, but far less than I would if still using the plastic produce bags! Hope this helps.

Stephanie, you can bring mason jars or other reusable containers to customer service or to an employee who can get the tare weight for you. They can write it on the container and then subtract that from whatever the total is. Hope this helps.

Thank you and love your blog.
