Petrol or packaging?

It has been reported lately that increasing petrol prices and mortgages are straining the budget. Some people are downgrading their diet rather than riding a bicycle, and buying “edible food-like substances” from the supermarket instead of pure organic whole foods.
Unlike other organic food shops, the coop has unpackaged goods at a lower price, so why pay for the attractive packaging? Also the coop is a non-profit organisation and this flows into the lower cost of goods.
Bring your own beautiful, clean containers.
On the topic of “edible food-like substances”, this video of Michael Pollan informs about good food, nutrition and culture.
