Almost the refill shops that I know of have gone now or have had to move to a corner of a garden centre; those that remain are an endangered species and they need our support. While the benefits of carrying lentils home in a jam jar are pretty marginal, buying shampoo and laundry liquids from these places can avoid the purchase of a lot of plastic bottles. When our local refill shop had a closing down sale we filled the bathroom windowsill with jam jars full of shampoo - great for starting those 'just one green thing' conversations with visitors.

WRAP provides an online tool to help find refill shops https://www.recyclenow.com/refill-locator which chart 675 packaging-free shops. Survey data shows nearly nine in ten consumers are willing to try refill shopping (sounds highly optimistic to me).
