Between £5 and £17, depending on size of order.
The Bread and Butter Thing offers weekly groceries at a fraction of high street prices at our CHANCE hub.
For £8.50 we offer around £35 worth of food each week including fresh fruit and veg, chilled food for the fridge and cupboard staples. We get our supplies from the stuff that you hear about in the news going to waste: it comes from supermarkets, factories and farms.
The food changes daily meaning your bags will change from week to week. Most members tell us that they collect food from TBBT and then ‘top up’ from the supermarket once they have seen what we provide. As the bags vary from day to day, some weeks the savings will be greater than others. However you will always be paying much less thank in the shops and have new foods to try.
Very occasionally, if food supplies that day are low, we will not have enough for the 3 bags. In this case, we will lower the price. We want you to feel that we are making a difference to your weekly food bills.
Why not give us a try? There is no commitment and it is free to join. If you want an order, just reply to the weekly text you receive on the day you get it. It’s really easy to sign up to TBBT.
