They have a bulk apothecary as well! We generally buy our dish soap, our laundry detergent and our house cleaning liquids from here. They weigh the container you bring in, even if it is not empty, and subtract the weight from the total, and you pay for the balance of what is weighed... and so on...

Unfortunately they left out the tuna (that I was most in the mood for and clearly in the description which I included below and ironically the main ingredient of Hawaiian poke) so it made it quite disappointing. Not sure if I will ever try this place again unless they offer another option with a white fish.
