Wholesale supermarkets near SE22?


Minitoots

Recommended Posts

A group of about 20 of us are hiring a house for a long weekend and are trying to work out how to bulk buy food / drink in advance to cook fairly basic meals - can anyone recommend any wholesale supermarkets fairly near to SE22 where we can save a bit of money?

It isn't a bulk supermarket, but Aldi is considerably cheaper than every other supermarket . The one on old kent road it pretty accessible by bus and there is also one near catford that is good. Just as an e.g a massive pack of chicken thighs (great roasted - for a cheap meal have a look at nigella's indian chicken thigh potato recipe) are ?1.80.

Their supersix fruit and veg offers are good. They also have a red wine called Duoro that is ?5 a bottle, won an award and is tasty!

also - on booze. Sainsburys sometimes do an offer where you buy 6 bottles of wine and get 25% off - not sure if that is on yet, but might be worth checking out - they also deliver, so you could have the booze delivered directly to the place you are hiring - we always do this when we go away as a big group!

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
