Weigh Ahead

Weigh Ahead is a lovely wee shop that is a joy to look at both inside and out. Before I even went in, I was drawn in by the beautiful hand-painted signs and cute window displays. It is immediately obvious that the space was designed lovingly and with the community in mind. There are signs throughout the shop highlighting the local suppliers and a shelf for a book swap. When I visited, there were even free fruit and vegetables from the garden to take away. Weigh Ahead is not strictly a zero waste shop, but the refills are definitely a highlight. They have the classics like cereals, flour and pulses, but also tea, spices, sweets, cleaning supplies and lots more. You can also get a variety of other organic products as well as arts, crafts and toys. The price on some of the products makes them more treats than everyday items for me, but if you remember to bring some containers, you can definitely get some good deals on refills.
