you can get only what you need in package free shopping, but you are paying much more than if you would have bought the whole package in the other store, and thrown 3/4 to the trash can..... Thats something that just isn't right with those stores. For example Flour. Regular package in a store: about 75 centl for 1kg. Package free store: 4.5 € for 1 kg. so yeah, you just need 1/2 kg, just grab 1/2. But why? 1/2 still costs waaay more than 1kg from the regular store, and you can repackage and store those things at home in jars....everybody should have food for at least 2 weeks at home (in cases of emergencies), so .. i don't get the point of buying small packages of only what you need for one meal.

I definitely agree there should be more options for the cost to be lower if not comparable to standard shopping, I'm not sure if it's because of the product quality difference or what other factors really impact for the costs to be what they are? I think the experiment for me was also looking at why is this the way we shop now and seeing what other possibilities there are. In general packaging sizes in Vienna are small compared to American standards (I remember a glass of apple sauce or a carton of milk felt sooooo small to me, like it was 1-4 times use) - so here it does feel more like you go grocery shopping more often during the week then you do in the states for example. So maybe that's a bit of a shopping style difference in general. I would love a 'bulk' version of this that is cheaper!
