A Weigh & Save in Bucks/Oxfordshire?

Options
I have searched and searched but what I'm looking for is a little shop like I saw in Weymouth one day. You just weigh out nice healthy foods like museli, oats, spices, dried fruit etc like you used to in Weigh and Save (which used to be in Lincoln where I come from but has now disappeared):(.

I take food seriously and like to buy quality but at a good price (ha ha - don't we all!) We're getting through just over two boxes of Dorset cereals a week at £2.30 each. This is in Asda, everywhere else seems to be 50p more. All the other supermarker museli's are full of rubbish or don't work out cheaper.

So, before I resign myself to paying this amount every week I really wanted to find one of those lovely shops fulls of loose foods in bins. I am new to the area and haven't been able to find anything yet in Oxford, Bicester, Aylesbury area.

Can anybody help?

Many thanks :) x

    If you don't mind mixing your own you could try buying bulk ingredients from Holland &Barrett or Julian Graves - when they have their nuts and dried fruit on offer they're quite well priced.

    Also, have you tried Aldi/Lidl? I used to have their Luxury Muesli - way cheaper than what you've quoted.
