WallBuilder Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Did anyone else see the news article tonight about that new venture of a shop selling goods that the bigger supermarkets would of ssent to landdfill. The idea seems to be that people feel ashamed of using food banks and so to build up their sself confidence instead they can now buy goods with as much as a 70% saving. The shop is only going to be used by certain people who will have to have a membership card, I can see problems with that being abused already and if it works they plan to open another twenty shops across the UK. I don't know whether this will be a success or not but do wonder why a larger supermarket would of been donating packs of Andrex toilet tissue I think it was a nine pack. After all does that have a use by date, why on earth would something like that be of no use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder just how much perfectly useable and edible stuff gets chucked away by supermarkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
