The Social Super Market is a pilot project to help local Miles Platting residents reduce the cost of their weekly food shop, and help prevent food waste.
It costs £5 to sign up (which includes the price of your first shop), then it is just £4 each time you shop. You can come twice a week- as long as it is not on consecutive days.
You can pay by cash or card- or set up a regular pre-payment via PayPal. You can even ‘Pay it Forward’ if you feel able to and help cover the cost of someone else’s shop.
Your £4 allows you to choose from a large variety of items including groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, plus all the usual store cupboard favourites- just like going to the supermarket! One shop is usually worth between £30-£50.
Other than being a local resident (no more than 20 minutes walk away), there no other criteria for joining the Social Super Market.
The Social Super Market is based at Parish Church of the Apostles, Ridgway Street, M40 7FY.
If you would like to become a member and do your first shop, just pop in during the opening times to fill in a membership form.
