Which group buy?

I can't see one running at the moment.

Welcome LordB . . . Corner is correct, we don't currently have a Co-op running.

Stick around, participate in the forum activity and you'll be less likely to miss a Co-op thread that way.

LordB as Cornersrun & Perpetua have said, there are no group buys at the moment, Please participate by at least starting a thread in the New members board to introduce yourself

Hi Chrissie, I wanna buy a Group!

It gets awfy lonely vaping away a' by masel in this far flung outpost o' the British Empire.

Oh, and the local Co-op is rubbish!!!

Lol Lobey, my local Co-op is about the same

I wouldn't mind paying Co-Op's prices if their food was good quality, but it's not, their fresh produce is nothing short of scandalous considering the price, and lack of quality. At least in my local it is anyway.

The Co-op runs a split pricing system.

The biggest branches are the cheapest and the smallest the dearest.

Any special offers are scaled to reflect their locations and and so what may be 20% off in their biggest stores, will, by the time you get out to their country stores, be only about 5% off.

However, in really far flung Co-ops in really rural areas, like on the Outer Hebrides, there they are allowed to sell local produce as well as the Co-ops own brands and here they are exceptionally good shops and both the quality and the pricing is top class.

My local one is a large, inner city store, located in an economically challenged area. The own brand items are anything up to double the price of the asda equivalent, and probably produced at the same place. I have to admit though, I only usually buy Warburtons or Hovis bread, but the Co-Op's own brand is the only own brand I've found that I actually like.
