Ernie's Zero Waste Shop

Refilled my spices here as it's the only place I know in Norwich that does them and they turned out very cheap! I refilled 8 of my little jars and it came out to under £4 for the lot. Will definitely be coming here again.

I have just done my first online shop with Ethical Ernie and am so pleased. I only live 45 mins away but went for delivery as I don't go to Norwich often so would have been a special trip (thus defeating the object!). All those essentials that normally come wrapped in non recyclable packaging delivered in paper bags. Easy, value for money and a great range. Can't believe I didn't make the switch sooner. I just love them. And it's a family run business so you're contributing to the local economy. What is not to adore about this!!!

Having now struck up a desire to reduce the waste generated by my 5 (7 if you include the dogs) strong household I will certainly be frequenting this establishment. Whilst not everything is at what everyone would call a “reasonable” price, knowing that the ethics behind its cost make it more palatable. One thing I would request is that ALL those staffing the shop are more aware of those not so Zero Waste savvy, during my first visit it would have been easy to leave without everything had myself and my partner not been determined. This way of shopping is not considered “Normal” by most so whatever can be done to encourage and support new Zero Waste converts should be high on the shops agenda, it would certainly encourage return visits by those just dipping their toes

Today I came across by chance this excellent refill shop in Anglia Square. It has a huge range of dry and liquid food and bathroom products. They even have refill rinseaid for dishwashers. I was very impressed to see a machine that you can use to make peanut butter. I am so pleased I found this place!

I have visited the shop a few times and also had a delivery. Their range of products are amazing, and the prices are so competitive. I can’t get my body wash cheaper anywhere else. If I lived closer I’d come much more often. Every town and village needs a shop like this. Highly recommend.

Went in for the first time yesterday and was really amazed. Prices are far lower than I expected, there’s good variety of stuff (different coffees, pastas, types of rice, etc), frozen veg, and even an instant peanut butter machine! Will definitely be back.

I've been a loyal customer ever since I discovered Ernie's. It's a brilliant initiative and a well run shop with very good prices.The new location at Anglia Square makes the shop even more accessible, it's great.

Amazing to be able to shop and create less waste without breaking the bank. So grateful that we have Ernie's close by and we can get all of our pasta, spices, oil, rice, soap, sponges etc here. A lot of things work out cheaper than supermarket prices - spices especially.The frozen section is also a revelation (we recommend the croissants).

Great range of items, and brilliant local delivery - very well packaged!

Ernie's has got the be one of my top favourite shops in Norwich. It is everything you'd ever want a zero waste store and I love Graham and co.'s ethos of making sustainable living as economic as possible. The new shop in Anglia Square is lovely and spacious making it really easy to browse all the variety of products on offer. If you haven't visited already, I highly recommend it!
