Wholesale supermarkets near SE22?

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!

    • Looking for a mens football team which plays over the weekend?
    • Hello, apologies for radio silence. Thanks for the insight, some useful elements here, and I've even had some 'very' interesting direct messages, so I'm glad I posted. Regarding the comments, I'm quite aware that my budget is probably flirting with houses in the village but I'm not really keen to go any further SE than the bottom end of Lordship, and ideally to the West of it. Reasons are not pure snobbery, most of my mates/family etc all live out SW, it already is 20 minutes further away from all of that by looking at the Village sort of area.  Have looked at a few things since this post, and the good news mostly is that almost everywhere we've been (mostly around WD and a couple in DV itself) is MUCH more inline with what we're looking for than where we are in terms of neighbourhood. One issue I've identified with WD however is that its a bit of a blackspot for decent London parks on foot. But interesting discussion for sure.
    • The £2bn set aside nationally for cycling and walking is for a 5 year period. It's about 1.5% of the total transport budget and I'd be surprised if it covers much more than maintenance. Outside the capital very, very little has been done to improve cycling infrastructure, which is probably why increases in active travel have been modest. The article you've linked to suggests that London should be used as a model for other cities, as improvements here have led to big increases in cycling (a 20% increase since 2019). Cycling in London now accounts for the equivalent of around a third of all tube journeys, or a quarter of bus journeys respectively.
