Co-op Fairtrade instant coffee

Hi all
nipped in to my local Co-op today and they had their own make Fairtrade rich roast instant coffee granules 100g on special offer at £1.06 down a third from £1.79. I bought 6 so hope I wasnt being unethical stocking up when the price was so low. I have had this before and its a nice enough brew.
Hope this helps someone.

    Hi,
    We get almost all our coffee from Co-op and they do have very good offers from time to time. I think all their ownbrand coffee as well as their chocolate is fair trade. Their filter coffees are also very good & also the drinking chocolate that comes in a black & blue tin.
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!
