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

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
