In the 1970s, growing up near Toronto, my family was part of a food co-op where my mother would go and work a half day a week, and we would buy food from the co-op that was brought in in bulk, and we used our own containers to bring it home.
Nowadays, there is a chain of bulk stores in Canada called the Bulk Barn hundreds of bulk goods, including many things you can find nowhere else. Typically, you use their containers, but they have a promotion where if you bring your own you get 15% off.
