Absolutely! You can bring any containers you like to refill with our food + liquids.
Most people like to reuse what they already have - for example glass jars, tuppaware containers, icecream tubs, cotton bags, plastic zip lock bags. We always recommend using what's already in your pantry!

We will simply weigh your containers first and write the tare, which we then deduct off at the end so you're only ever paying for what you have filled.

You can drop off your containers either labelled or with an accompanying list, and we can fill them for you! We will simply let you know what it's all packed + ready to collect.

Alternatively, we can also deliver them back to you!

We definitely strive to source organic where we can, however that's not always possible. A large majority of our goods are organic, but we also sell conventional and local goods too.

We also strive to make shopping at Valerie's Pantry as accessible as possible, and there are organic products that are simply too expensive, which is where we choose conventional instead.

Any products labelled 'organic' means they are certified by ACO (Australian Organic Certifier).
