locations of scoop and saves

thought it would be a good idea for people to post where their local scoop and save is so if others in the area don't know of it they can find it.

I don't know if Chesterfield has one so would be interested in knowing.

Southend on Sea town centre, dunno the name of the road but it is by the ictoria plaza car park, opposite the bus stops.
All the usual stuff plus pic n mix. Nice lady who serves as well.

anyone know of any in london?

i used to go to one in Stretford, Manchester where I used to live and I didn't know these places existed any more! They are gems!

there is a weigh and save in the precinct in Boscombe, Bournemouth, but i think the new local food coop is even better

there is also one in North Road in Durham (or there was when i lived there)

Sorry, I've never heard of a Scoop and Save... what, pray tell, is one?

its also called 'weigh and save', basically a shop where there are big bins of mainly dried food, you scoop it into a bag, they weigh it and you pay! its usually good value. they sell all kinds of dry things, from flour to nuts and seeds to sweets and washing powder.

and if stuff is in big bins does it go off or stale
