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 was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind  
    • Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.
    • Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.
    • Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...
