With inflation at a 40-year high, finance experts say zero-waste grocery stores are helping people save money, while also helping the environment too. Inflation has created a lot of financial stress for Floridians over the past few months, which is why some Floridians are making environmentally friendly choices that are also saving them some money. “We have organic and local produce and so the ordering is available Wednesday, Thursday and Friday until noon," said Elana Smith, owner of One World Zero Waste. From produce to home goods, One World Zero Waste has a wide variety of organic and vegan items. “Everything is plastic free and in bulk. So, you can bring your own s to refill them,” Smith said. There is another zero-waste store called Zuke’s Refillery that opened back in 2020 in Delray Beach. Smith and her husband are also in the process of opening up a brand new One World Zero Waste location in Delray Beach in November. “This is a health food store for you and the earth, so really a lot of value in that,” Smith said.
