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

    • I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.
    • Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.
    • A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour. 
    • Was a regular haunt of mine for many years and had a lot of fun times in there and some marvellous food down the years. Though, admittedly I spent most of my time in there doing some serious boozing. In recent times I've been a less frequent visitor to this fine establishment. I seriously hope it doesn't change too much. It's always had a good vibe in there and that's down to Tim and Rod and all of the staff who have worked there over the past 26 years.
