I try to, as much as possible, purchase my consumables in plastic-free packaging.  Except for 5-gallon buckets & gamma lids, I have made my home entirely plastic free.  

Things like Arm & Hammer Baking Soda is packaged in small quantities without plastic, but the 13# bags are plastic.   And when I bought 50# from bulkfood.com, it was in a box - but the Baking Soda itself was in a plastic bag.  Unfortunately, I use about 10# a month of baking soda between laundry, personal bathing and the kitchen, so the smaller quantity packaging isn't appropriate.  

I would be very interested if permies have found that a commonly used product purchased off the web arrives in a plastic free packaging.   Frankly, I would be willing to pay more to avoid plastic.   And I would re-use the non-plastic containers.

I would want a link to the web address and the item.
