It is true that much of the food is reduced because the use by date is current or has just 1 day to go.


As for loose veg which is not dated.. who knows ??


Fox..

Well I do use the Co-op when I am desperate... Not very often.


I mainly use the Co-op to pay my Utilities Bills.


.. But I like fresh food so I go elsewhere where food IS fresher AND cheaper.


Why pay More for Less..


The Co-op is as sad excuse for a shop. With poor quality food.


I have stopped buying Meat there. I do not even own a dog.


Fox. Not actually a Fox.

To be fair the whole place has needed a refit since Somerfield scrapped the deli and wet fish counters in favour of what was meant to be an 'in store bakery' (trans: an oven to warm factory made bread so the smell will make people buy it).


I like a lot of the Co-op brand stuff (including their pasta and fair-trade chocolate) and I like their sourcing in a lot of areas, but the place is well overdue a facelift.

The Co-op is extremely good value for some things, eg their own brand Value porridge oats and oatcakes, and frozen veg.


Fox, obviously you are likely to get better stuff if you go to a butcher for meat and a greengrocer for fruit and veg, but it is also sometimes more convenient to get everything in one place.


Edited for typo.

I hardly ever go to a Butchers (especially William Rose) Buy on Sat for Sunday only to find it has

gone off despite being put in the fridge withing 5-10 mins of purchase.


I use mainly ASDA. Meat there is very good and cheaper than the other main Supermarkets..


Tend to eat mostly Frozen Veg. Better that most 'Fresh' ??? Veg.


Fox.

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
