Hiya I'd be interested in the Ipswich food co-op as live in the area. Also the shop is weigh n save and has recently changed hands and now has about 50% less stock but still good. (scoop and save)
Also there is a lovely fruit n veg shop opposite bookworld and next to Oxfam charity shop or close in the same road as BHS & The Ancient house Lakeland PLastics.

It sells a wide variety including seaweed/pulses/extotci veg and normal veg/fruit at market prices and lovely staff too.

Can you tell me where the weigh n' save [ scoop and save] is?

I usually travel with a friend and stay in a hotel, but am coming down tonight myself and wondered about staying in a b and b instead.

I've probably left it a bit late, but can anyone recommend anywhere?

There is a butchers at st olaves precinct and they have good buys 2 big trays of chicken £5 he did a deal if i bought 2 trays very good quality and their mince is nice i was told about this butchers as my friend lives near there it used to be quite expensive but it has different people in there now and again very friendly

The one next to the body shop used to be called dewhursts and they used to have some good buys as for the one beside oxfam i havnt tried as ive heard mixed stories about the quality

Im glad you liked the farm shop they are lovely people and the lady and her husband always take the time to chat and help

St Olaves Precinct? :rolleyes: Waah! I came over all nostalgic. My nanna used to take me to a butcher's there when I was little and it had sawdust on the floor. If I am remembering the right place. Ooh heck I moan about Bury (my town of birth) but it is where my past is.

Just logged on to this thread. I live out at Lowestoft (as far east as you can get).
I only wanted to say that I agree with Donna 100% about Swiss Farm. I travel the county daily and try to call in here for meat when I can. The meat is ALWAYs excellent and can be cheaper that the supermarket (fresh chicken breasts for instance). As always you get what you pay for.

Just wanted to say hi. Theres a few of us from Lowestoft on here now.

I am Suffolk. Now in Sudbury having moved from Ipswich last year ... but still 'do' the Ipswich thing a couple of times a week!

Dramatically losing my social skills (such as they were!) as I still feel Sudbury is a bit 'hick' (sorry!)

Catching up on threads - let's start an officail' one of our own! (Can we do that - or is this it?!)
