bulk bin
Self-serve dispenser
A bulk bin is a large container in a store—typically a grocery or health food store—holding loose products like grains, nuts, dried fruit, or candy that customers scoop into bags and purchase by weight.
Shopping from bulk bins reduces packaging waste and lets you buy exactly the quantity you need: I filled a bag with almonds from the bulk bins.
