    See, its so easy to make me happy!

    Quick update - called Planet Organic and they could not have been nicer. They are sending goods out again. What nice people. But its wrong that parcelforce lost order :(

    Good to hear PO have good customer service :T

    Maybe the courier faked the sig? I've had things go missing before but thankfully rarely and prob due to a dodgy courier.

                    I get the La Bio Idea vegan red pesto but didn't know they did a pasta too ^ That seems a good price too if that's for a standard size bag.

                            I would like to this, I'm in an ethical dilemma atm.

                            Unfortunately I don't think I could afford to meet prices that are online so I think I'll have to live off the local shops. I don't eat meat or fish so basically the only place I could get food from would be greengrocer. There aren't any 'staple foods' stores here apart from Tesco and Asda. Boo!

                            Just discovered my local greengrocers does veg boxes free delivery.

                            £10 for carrots, parsnips, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, cabbage, leeks, onions, pepper, swede, mushroom, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, satsumas, oranges, apples and bananas.

                            The £20 one is double the quantity.

                            Is that all worth £10? I'm so used to buying reduced 10p veg that I don't know the real cost anymore lol.

                            ^ Ditto, no greengrocer in my town and it's a big town (think that is the problem, no decent small shops)

                            Yep looks great value, huge selection and free delivery, is worth supporting these smaller shops :)

                            I don't know why they don't push these free delivery services more these days, I'm sure they could get some trade back from the supermarkets.

                            Pawsies - have you investigated whether anyone is running a food coop in your area as they often do things like all the Suma wholefoods etc.
