Hi All,
Due to recent inflation & credit crunch the monthly family food expences are going up. Hence I am thinking about buying things like Fruits, Veg & Grocerry in wholesale & sharing with others who are considering this idea. Any ideas & people willing to do this near Gateshead & Newcastle upon Tyne?
For example
Wholesale: 10Kg Onion £1.75 (0.175/kg), Tesco : Value £0.75/2kg (0.357/kg)
Wholesale: Courgettes box of 15 £2.00, Tesco : £1.98/kg (approx 4 to 5)
Wholesale: Mushrooms 6Kg £5.00 (0.83/kg), Tesco : Value 1.45/750grams (1.96/kg)
Wholesale: Apple Box approx 100 £6.00-£10.00, Tesco : Value £1.14/kg (approx 4 to 5)
Wholesale: Banana Box approx 100 £3.00-£5.00, Tesco : £0.77/kg (approx 4 to 5)
Wholesale: Egg tray of 30 £2.20 (Med-Big), Tesco : Value £1.25/ 15 small eggs
Wholesale: Tomatos £2.00 approx 5kg

A normal greengrocer, or Lidl/Aldi will generally be cheaper than Tesco anyway without the hassle if noone else wants to join you
