Charlotte'S Cupboard

Where does the time go!? It’s September already tomorrow, which means it’s the first Saturday of the month and can only mean one thing...time for Forest Row Market.
Get those jars, tupperware, cotton bags, pillow cases, paper bags or old food wrappers ready - whatever you’ve got that has the potential to be filled, we’ve got someone to fill it with!
Will we be seeing you??
... 10-3pm on the green opposite the Communit Centre, Forest Row 😎

Join us for a live Q&A during Zero Waste week.

This evening, we had our first lot of Worthing plastic-free deliveries collected.
It feels weird to have our deliveries handed over to our customers by hands that are not our own, but luckily we have some amazing volunteers lined-up for Worthing that we trust to do this for us.
At the moment, Worthing is being handled by Granny Sue a.k.a Char's mum, who papped 📸 a few of our willing customers whilst collecting their plastic-free shop (thanks guys!).
... Make sure you get in on the action for next week and place your order online before 12pm on Wednesday.
Especially if you're Shoreham based because GUESS WHAT, yep that's right! It's joined the list as we have another amazing volunteer ready and waiting to meet you!

Where now? WORTHING! 🎉
With the help of some amazing volunteers, Worthing has been added to our list of delivery locations as a pick-up point.
What does this mean? Worthing customers will be able to pick their orders up on Thursdays between 6pm and 8pm from a central Worthing address.
... Simply shop online and select Thursday Worthing Pick-up as your delivery option.
Shoreham and Lancing are to follow so stay tuned.

Did you know there are around 20,000 landfill sites in the UK!?
If Elizabeth I wore a disposable nappy and drank from an aluminium can and then threw it in landfill, both would STILL be here today!
Plus, if we place in landfill things that can be recycled or composted they will simply sit there and go nowhere - you'll see what we mean when you get to the newspaper from 1986 that is still intact.
... Watching this was another real eye-opener into the effects our actions are having.
PLEASE give this a watch.

It’s Friday!! Yay! Did you get a cheeky takeaway this evening?
Well, if you’re trying to avoid plastic this can be a tricky one, but we think we’ve got you covered!
This evening, we tried out The Feature Kitchen and we are not looking back!
... Each month they team up with a different chef, specialising in a different cuisine, giving you delicious home cooked food delivered straight to your door. This month it’s Burmese featuring Chu Chu Burmese Kitchen and next month our mate Seven Sisters' Spices with Sri Lankan!
Anyway, the best part for you lot is that their packaging is all plastic free as they use veg ware and because we like to be awkward, we asked to use our own containers which they kindly did for us 😍
So, if you live in Lewes/Brighton and the surrounding you MUST add this to your list of takeaway options.
Roll on next month!

We'll tell you what we want, what we really really want... we want...plastic-free herbs and spices!
And guess what, we got them!
In our latest blog post, Thalassa writes about how last month, we achieved another step in our goal of influencing and changing the supply chain when it comes to how our products are packaged. In this instance, herbs and spices.
... After you've given it a read, tag your own ZW shop (if it's not us) because we are happy to share with them the resource that helped us achieve this.

Did you know that Henfield is one of our new delivery locations? Every Friday between 6-8pm 😎
To get plastic-free shopping delivered straight to your door this week by Peggy, our electric van, make sure your order online before 12pm tomorrow.

Would you be interested in our home-made baked (not baked) beans recipe?
If so, we’ll share it on our blog. YOU DECIDE!

I’m a stickler for rules, so it would be a big mistake not to follow these instructions on the side of Katie’s Nuttery’s pecan butter jar...

What a service! Fantastic products, unbeatable prices, well designed website and first class delivery. Cannot recommend high enough. Spread the word!

This place is great! Package-free foods for your pantry. So clever. They are out and about throughout the week and they also deliver as well.



Today I bought nuts, spices, grains, cereals, chocolate (with yummy tahini in it) and a lovely soap for just over £15!



Good for the conscience too as you will have zero waste so you're being super environmentally friendly without much effort. All you need is containers, jars etc to take away your produce.

This idea is fantastic: packaging free weekly food shop. Excellent value for money and the Charlotte's Cupboard team is very knowledgeable about their products and how to cook them! Plus the peppermint tea is absolutely delicious! Can't recommend enough!

Super stars!! Loving your Muesli mix, it really is the best. Pleased to see the addition of bulgar wheat too, happy days. Great place to buy all my regular food shop - other favourites include dried mango, corn for popping, kidney beans, and bran flakes.

Keep up the good work!

Stumbled upon this lovely company whilst in Burgess Hill.

Happy friendly service with a wide range of products and a great ethos, I intend on being a regular customer.

Lovely girls and great selection of products at brilliant prices and of course the main attraction that there is no packaging and you just take your own containers along. I was tempted by more than I had containers for and loved that they had jars to give away to customers. They really have thought of everything. I was delighted with how much I got for my money and will be back very soon! Amazing venture!

Love that I can reuse our jam jars or olive jars, and refill with goodies from Charlottes Cupboard! Kids loved the chocolate buttons so these might run out first! Can’t wait to place my next order xx

Looking forward to our weekly delivery when the kitchen is finished!

I was so impressed by the whole set up from Peggy the van, to the free jars, cotton sacks, product selection and the very personal, friendly service from two very passionate young women. So well thought out, ethical and bang on message. Well done Charlotte’s Cupboard, truly inspirational ❤️

I love this service, FINALLY I can shop plastic free close to home! The girls are professional and welcoming and the van is just beautiful! Prices are extremely competitive too. I can't wait to visit again!

Had a delivery from the lovely Charlotte this evening. We filled our jars with lots of lovely things and reducing our use of plastics at the same time. And all at a reasonable price. Looking forward to shopping with you again and will definitely recommend you to friends/family xx

Great service. Dry whole foods plastic free. What not to like!

Great range of products at very reasonable prices and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have your own containers to fill as they have jars and canvas bags available to buy and a selection of free pre-used jars that have been sterilised.

Fabulous idea by fabulous ladies helping us all to reduce waste and look after our planet... Charlotte and Thalassa I wish you both all the best with your wonderful business!!!

Great range of high quality produce for good value while being kind to the environment, what more can you ask for?

Friendly and helpful service today at Hassocks market! Bought a few items at a reasonable price. The other items on my list that were out of stock I was offered the chance to email items I'd like to buy at my next visit. Great stuff! I hope the new venture goes really well. :)

Fantastic that that this is in the area and great value for money too which is an added bonus! �

Fantastic idea, me and my tupperware had somewhere to go and top up. Well stocked and the ladies were so friendly and helpful! �

Excellent range of high quality products at very reasonable prices. Charlotte and Thalassa are very helpful and knowledgable. They even have jars/canvas bags available if you don’t have your own! I can’t wait to stock up again with them soon and start reducing the plastic in my household.

Brilliant delivery service, plastic free and cheaper than the supermarket too- I am recommending to everyone!
