When we introduced the light bagging option, customers had the option to receive fewer paper bags. At that time, only pantry items were included. But now we are extending the "light" option to include chilled items, which will mean fewer plastic bags as well. To prevent cross-contamination, we will still pack all frozen items, meat, produce, cleaning products, and health and beauty items in thin plastic bags.

An added benefit of light bagging is that we are generally able to put more products in each tote, which means fewer totes per order. Yes, less totes to store!

You can choose light bagging option when you check out an order with Pre-Dawn Delivery or Doorstep Delivery (where you don't have to be home). You can choose to either have "light" or "standard" bagging for your pantry and chilled items. On the order preview page, the option is right below Delivery Instructions and it looks like this:



We continue to look at ways to reduce packaging. Thank you for all your feedback.
