Coop 2023

[gfa]

Just got an IOW advert for their co-op saying members save more (ala clubcard prices) so if you don’t have one already it might be worth getting a co-op membership (its only a £)

 

[mungo57]

cheers geez

 

will sign up, we've got a co-op opening down the road from us shortly so will do in advance 😄

What do they sell? I've never been there before. Is it all the non-alcoholic essentials?

 

And most importantly do they do the big bags of salt and vinegar crisps?

They don't sell your normal range of crisps at all... Traders aren't allowed the packaging on site. They do sell Two Farmers crisps that come in compostable packaging.

I have never been so don't know exactly.

I'm trying to find out from anyone who has been if they sell:

• carbonated water
• eggs
• ice
• ground coffee

Anything I don't have to carry in will be a blessing.

I had error messages too. Was going to fire off a tweet to Coop but then tried it without the VPN on and it worked. Casts a quid, so I need to earn back at least that with purchases.... Challenge accepted!

I signed up yesterday. You get a £3 off £10 spend voucher in the app so you’re getting the sign up fee back and more, as easy to spend £10 in there at Glasto.

The certainty sold ice last year, it was a revelation!!

Yes to eggs and ice. 

I don't recall carbonated water or coffee - it tends to be more common things so I may have expected the water more than the coffee, but I may be wrong. 

I think there wa a list in here last year of what they would stock...many things I'd do a search, but no idea what they may have referred to... 

[mandana]

great idea on the membership card, I have an account but rarely use it, will order a replacement card

Found a couple of previous links

I don't think there would have been ground coffee and I don't remember any sparkling water either. Remember everything sold has to be in non-plastic containers, so plastic bottles of fizzy water wouldn't be allowed to be sold on site, and I think the canned water everywhere sells at Glasto was only still.

Never too bad last year. Peak times (e.g. morning and before music starts) had a queue, but it moved quickly, and I never remember being bored in it or getting annoyed. Once the music had started it was easy to just nip in if you were passing.

They are absolutely banging crisps.

Thanks. Annoying about the coffee if true, because they have a picture of a cafetière on the website! I probably wouldn't take a chance with coffee and bring my own.

Fizzy water also annoying inasmuch as I have a litre of rum to make mojitos.

I saw them, down the middle of the store, quite a lot of them. I wanted to buy some but never got around to it...

Anybody know if they're any good?

I hope there’s not Sticklinch crisp confiscation again this year!

I had some! The salt and vinegar. They were nice. "Classy". I was craving a wotsit though so will remember to bring this year.

Just signed up via the app and got £3 off a £10 spend, hopefully it works at Glasto.
