These fantastic scales are pretty much the heart of our shop. They’re fun, easy to use and let you do your own weighing! Basically, you weigh, fill, weigh and pay. That’s it.
If you want to know more, this is how it goes!
Weigh your empty container and print your label
Fill your container
Bring it back to the scales, touch ‘I have a filled container to weigh’
Scan the label you printed for your container and select the item you’ve filled with - this takes off the weight of your container.
Did you know that you can make your own recipe in a jar at Re? Because you buy loose produce, you can simply get what you want. We’ve done Christmas cakes, flapjacks, muesli and granolas among others!
If you’re coming along to Towcester Farmer’s Market OR the shop you can leave your containers with us for filling.
And if you have specific things for a recipe, it can all go in one jar - spices, sugar, flour, seeds, nuts and fruit! So bring along your favourite all in one recipe and fill to order :)
Thought it was a good time to explain how the scales actually work - and why we weigh household cleaners and shampoo too!
Basically, by weighing your container first, it means you don’t pay for it! Just like when you’re baking and zero the scales, that’s what our scales do too.
The biggest benefit of this? It means you can shop when you want and don’t have to decant what’s in your washing up liquid bottle (or any other container for that matter!) so you can refill. We realised that way you can fill when convenient, rather than having to wait for your bottles to be totally empty - which isn’t always the best time for going to refills.
