Plastic Free Shopping in the Heart of Tynemouth Village
Welcome to Buy the Kilo! We're here to help you reduce single-use plastic in your home with our eco-friendly items and refill products. You’ll find us inside Tynemouth Metro Station, where we stock organic refill staples alongside a growing range of local produce we genuinely love. Our family-run refill shop is all about good food, local makers, and buying with care.
If you’re new here, there are a few things to point out:
- Refill items are priced in 100g units unless stated otherwise, so you can buy little and often.
- We stock a vast selection of liquid refill cooking & baking essentials, toiletries, cleaning & laundry however, these are available to shop in-store only, as they’re not suitable for shipping.
- As a small independent business, our opening hours can vary. We recommend following us on social media for any changes to our regular hours.
- Click & collect is available Thursday to Sunday, when the shop is open.
We hope you enjoy browsing our collection of groceries, household essentials, crafts, and so much more. Please get in touch if you need - we're always happy to help!
