[Food] I don't usually praise Co-Op, but...

[Trevor]

I like baked beans , and also brillo pads

 

[Bodian]

This is pleasing but I'll always find Co-Op baffling because:

They have some sort of mad, laser accurate algorithm that means you can never find what you need, no matter how simple or obscure it is.

They ran a veggie tent at Glastonbury one year where they gave away Wine Gums.

They did wildly inappropriate goodie bags for runners at Parkrun (actually quite nice, included posh cooking oil)

They threw away massive amounts of food every day on London Road

*wanders off to shout at cloud*

And their till system.. and their queuing system! Just never seems to work, and how can they refurbish, redesign - and still make it worse?? Every time.

Love them though and [MENTION=139]Jam The Man[/MENTION] is right, those salt & vinegar crips are fantastic.

No wonder people are so OBESE in this country

Gasping, I got off the train from Plymouth to Paddington, I went straight the bar on the upper concourse where someone stupidly asked me for £8 for a pint of Cornish ale (Tribute)
I picked myself up off the floor and told him to put it back in the barrel.

The co-op at fiveways is absolute shite. Mainly because it is the size of a telephone box.

Asda were doing a 10 pack of Stella last week at 3 packs for £21. They usually cost £10 for ten, so why wouldn't you buy the extra ten for a quid?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

They often do a decent £5 deal - this is the current deal... unbelievable value for the price of the items, even in ASDA usually

I'm lactose intolerant. And intolerant. So I'm out.

Christ. You can get a s*** and a f*** for less than that in Faversham. And change for a couple of pints and a taxi home.

I enjoy them too, i noticed the other day Waitrose & Partners had a new range of hand cooked crisps, these were super smashing great

Reading this thread is like listening to my mum

Buns sold separately. But I had some in the freezer from an abandoned BBQ, so happy days.

Come on, £3.50 for 4 Beaters is pretty decent, let alone getting 4 fresh burgers lobbed in as well. And they are DECENT.

Totally agree

 

[Chicken Run]

Were the air fresheners required as a direct result of eating that lot ?

Yes [emoji106]The Kiev’s where surprisingly nice, mash was to make bubble squeak with the rest of Sunday Roast left overs.

It’s like a booze cruise without the old Newhaven to Dieppe run I use to endure as a kid in the late seventies with my parents [emoji23]

Aa a crisp expert, these babies from Co-Op are the best Salt ‘n’ Vinegar offering I’ve ever tasted:

[Chicken Run]

did you spend more on air fresheners than food there?

I think the freshness where £6.50 so no [emoji106]

 

[Yes Chef]

I'd like to add my own tedious contribution to this thread by saying that as a dull beer snob, I wouldn't drink Stella EVEN if it was FREE

 

[Live by the sea]

Ok in keeping with the theme of incredibly dull posts.

I was in BP today needing to break down £10 for some change I owed Lil Miss Stat.

I thought I'd get a can of fizzy pop, and almost swooned to the floor as diet coke was £1.09 a can.
By now I'd committed to the idea, and shuffled off to the till.

At the till was a coke promotion - Buy 1 x 4 pack, get 1 free, save £2.79.

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I had quite a long 'Homer Simpson dental plan' moment before returning my 1 can for £1.09 and swapping it for 8 cans for just £1.70 more.

Shame Coke is so bad for you..

Very narrow aisles in every co-op.

You're welcome.

Personally I hate salt & vinegar crisps so not for me but everyone else in my household claim these are the best crisps available on the high street.
