Cooperative Food Store

I found myself increasingly being put off from going to the supermarket for a ‘big shop’ and relying more on smaller local stores. This means I am frequenting my local co-​op food store on a more regular basis. The shop tends to provide all I need including a good selection of fruit and veg, and a good selection of good quality (pre packaged meat).
the shelves are always well stocked and staff are generally friendly and helpful. The store can sometimes look a little grubby at times (but then I tend to visit late in the day). Open from 7am to 10pm it is perfect for those with early starts or late finishes.
The co-​op is a fantastic shop for the more ethical shopper with an excellent range of fairtrade goods (including wine and cakes!) and environmentally friendly products — in fact the selection is far better than the nearby Morrisons. Another added benefit is that with a Cooperative Membership card you can chose to have some of your profit share fed back into local community projects.
And no matter what I go in for, there always seems to be a bar of fairtrade chocolate in my reusable shopping bag!
