How a not-for-profit community grocery turns a £15 monthly membership into around £50 of savings — every single month.
Meet Adam. Adam lives locally and becomes a member of the not-for-profit community grocery for £15 a month. That's it — no catch, no hidden fees. The membership is what keeps the doors open and the lights on.
Because the store is a not-for-profit, everything on the shelves is sold to members at wholesale prices — the same prices the big supermarkets pay their suppliers. The store doesn't add a profit margin, so the discount lands straight in Adam's basket.
Week after week, those wholesale prices add up. On an average shop, members like Adam save around £50 every month compared with high-street prices — on the very same everyday groceries. Your saving may be more or less depending on your shop — but you'll always recover your £15 membership fee.
Over a year, that's around £420 back in Adam's pocket — just for doing the shopping anyway.
Our promise: £50 is an average — you may save more or less depending on your shop, but you'll always recover your £15 membership fee.
Net savings after the £15 membership, month by month — about £35 a month, stacking up.
Illustrative figures based on an average member saving of £50/month less the £15 membership fee. Your actual saving may be more or less depending on your shop — but you'll always recover your £15 membership fee.
A normal supermarket adds a margin so shareholders get paid. A not-for-profit community grocery has no shareholders — memberships cover the running costs, and every penny of buying power goes back to members.
