Hello,


My name is Clare and I'm setting up a food co-op in East Dulwich. All this involves is getting a group of people together who want to buy ethically sourced food from the wholesaler, Suma. We can buy non-fresh food (tins, pasta, sauces etc.) in bulk and benefit from free delivery and lower prices than in the specialist health food shops. If anyone would like to know more and maybe get involved, please reply to this thread. If I get enough interest, I'll organise a meeting in Dulwich to answer questions and get us started.

This is the Suma website if you'd like to see their produce: http://www.sumawholesale.com/


Thanks,

Clare

Hi, I may be interested depending on prices.


My daughter runs something similar in Oxford using Infinity Foods, and their prices seem to me to be high.


Maybe Suma is cheaper? I couldn't see any prices on their website, though there is a lot of information about the products.

Hello.. I got the catalogue a while back wondering about a buying group as I could never store enough in our flat to get to their ?250 order for delivery and am now too skint for health food shop prices! I'm ashamed to say that I have been ordering Suma stuff from Amazon which doesn't feel right especially as it comes in tons of packaging! Would be delighted if a Food Coop started so please count me in and thank you for posting!

Hi everyone,


Thank you for much for your interest! I have temporary access to the Suma catalogue and if you buy in bulk this is an example of how much things cost:


Chick peas - ?0.50p / 400g can

Jar of peanut butter - ?2.00

500g bag of pasta - ?0.70p

12 mixed ales - ?17.70

Ground coffee - ?3.00/ bag

Mixed nuts 1kg - ?8.80 or 125g - ?1.47

500ml organic sunflower oil - ?1.90


I'll give it a few more days in case more people want to join and then I'll arrange a first meeting. The minimum order we'd have to make as a group is ?250 which shouldn't be problem with the number of people interested already.


Clare

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
