soniala Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have just been in the new Coop , it looks nice & clean , although shelves were abit empty , i have always found the staff very friendly and helpful , not so much the other customers though .

lpool Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 So far it has failed my price comparison test - albeit a rather simplistic one. 500gm Shreddies - ?1.50 Morrisons - about ?2.20 at the Co-Op, and 70% Lindt Dark Chocolate ?1.25 Morrisions and ?1.89 Co-Op. But as it is only 2 minutes walk away I guess I'll be using some carbon saving excuse for spending more there.

My favourite Whole Foods item is Fuji water. It comes from , you know, Fuji. Must be good. They usually put it under one of their posters trumpeting their ethical credentials. Because shipping water 13,000 miles is perfectly reasonable.
