zero-waste grocery delivery

Here in Denver we are so lucky to have a forward-thinking company that is offering city dwellers zero-waste grocery delivery! Infinity Goods launched last fall, and keeps adding new products all the time. I’ve been following them on social media since the beginning, but finally placed my first order last week!

Not to sound over-confident, but I’m pretty darn good at zero-waste grocery shopping. However, it takes a lot of time. A LOT. When I go to the grocery, it’s more or less the only thing I plan for that day. I have to gather my bags and jars, bike to and from the store, shop for an hour or so, come home and unload, and transfer all the food into jars or containers. When you order from Infinity Goods, everything comes ready to be put in the fridge or pantry. Not to mention everything looks beautiful in reusable containers.

On their website, Infinity Goods offers bulk products and loose produce from local Sprouts and Whole Foods stores, as well as other local markets. They don’t carry meat, but aren’t 100% vegan: they offer some dairy products.

But what’s better than that, is that they’re sourcing several products directly from local companies. So you can buy things like ketchup, tofu, cheese, ice cream and pasta in reusable packaging (or compostable packaging, in the case of cheese) from a local company! How cool is that?

They also are working with local companies who will take back their containers to reuse. I tried the salad dressing from Bloombox and Unwrapp’d energy bites. The dressing is GREAT. I won’t get the energy bites again - too expensive for just 6 balls. I make this kind of thing at home for much cheaper. But if you’re buying Larabars or similar, these would be a good choice.

Another win: EGGS. Eggs with no packaging! Look at those beauties below!

The jars and produce bags are given to you with your order, and you return them the next time you place an order. Or you can just request pick up on their website. I loved how on-point their packaging and branding is. A zero-waste nerd’s dream!

They’re still a relatively new company, so they’re ironing out a few details (for example, some of my jars were labeled with dry erase marker which wiped off and could not longer be read). But they were super open to my feedback and helped address some of my concerns!

As with most delivery services, you’re paying a bit more for the convenience. Infinity Goods prices things by item number or jar size, instead of weight, so it’s hard to do a direct price comparison to Sprouts or WF. However, I priced out some of the items by weight and found I was only paying a little bit more per pound. Totally worth it for the time saved, in my opinion.

If you want to try out their service, use the code PLASTICFREE2020 for 10% off an order. Or you can use the code LOVEOVERPLASTIC to get free delivery February 10-13. This post isn’t sponsored; these codes are available to everyone. I just wanted to share this awesome company. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

Have you tried them? What do you think? Would you want this offered in your city?
