Yes the organic grocers by Chener books has some no packaging stuff.

 

The shop mentioned above that opened pre-covid was  As Nature Intended, they had  a fairly large selection of no packaging stuff.

They were acquired  by Planet Organic  who obviously decided the store wasn’t performing well enough so chose to close.

If anyone is interested,  there are a number of 2 for 1 and other H&B offers online at the moment (including for nuts, not 2 for 1 for nuts though) plus an additional 22% off if you use the H&B  app and spend over £40.

Some of the offers are available without the app.

You can pick up in Lordship Lane which is easier than waiting in for a delivery. 

No idea if the offers are also available in store, but you wouldn't get the extra 22% discount then.

Only on till midnight tonight, sorry, I have only just seen the offer,  because I was looking for nuts.

Oh,  and I did buy some things from Health Matters earlier today!

I went to get psyllium husk (which I pronounced very clearly and even pointed to my stomach, reflexively) but was taken by the assistant - whose face showed puzzlement for a few seconds - to the selenium section..! When I said it was not what I was looking for I had to explain what it’s used for and was then pointed to their product which was in tablet form - not what I was after. I’m much keener on places that know what’s what but at least I gave it a go…

What I couldn't understand was on the day H&B  opened (or at least the Saturday after it) they had two people standing outside with trays of something round their necks, as if they were selling ice cream at the interval in a 1950s cinema.

These things appeared to be free samples of something (can't remember what. Magnesium tablets? From the labels on the little jars?) 

There was nothing to say they were free, nothing to say what they might be useful for, and no apparent attempt to engage passers by, or even to hand them out to passers by. 

What was the point?! It had the opposite effect on me, as they looked so bored and fed up 

We did have a wander round the shop, but the only thing they had which I might have bought ( a particular kind of milled seed which Health Matters don't stock)   I can get cheaper in Waitrose !!!

ETA: I only buy their nuts when they are on offer (and freeze them) 🤣

Those samples on trays weren't free.  I assumed they were and asked!

Really?!

No wonder they still had so many left when we passed!

What were they? How much did they want for them?!

That seems an extremely strange way of enticing people into a new shop!

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
