Co-Op Reviews

I consider myself a "Savvy Shopper" and am often found searching out bargains in the large, main supermarkets. For some reason though, over the years I have been a bit brainwashed into thinking that there are only good deals to be had in the large supermarkets. Over the past couple months I have discovered that this really is ...  Read the complete review

SHOP-- They're convenience stores with items priced the same as a small corner shop, but they're the size of small big name supermarkets. I have never walked into a dirty or untidy Co-op. Usually they are small enough and well-staffed enough so this doesn't happen. My local Co-op is a fairly large store, ...  Read the complete review

I live across the road from a small Co-op and as I don't drive I find it invaluable for everyday essentials like bread and milk which I prefer to buy as fresh as possible rather than stocking up lots at my big weekly supermarket shop from another supermarket. I must admit the base price of a lot of the products in the Co-op are ...  Read the complete review

Co-ops are now much more popular. Until a few years ago the co ops you saw were the old style almost department store like co op supermarkets. Then they bought out all the somerfield stores and revamped re opening boasting a bright new smart cooperative sign. Offering a membership rewards scheme with everything from food shopping ...  Read the complete review

I have bene shopping at Co-Op occasionally for the past 2 years or so, this is mainly because it's on the way to where I work, so I always grab some lunch and something to eat on my break from there. A lot of the time I do tend to take my own lunch to work with me but on the odd occasion, I don't so have to pop in here to get ...  Read the complete review

The Co-op has recently experienced a renaissance. Until recently a tired brand, it has gone through some consolidation and now boasts a smart new look. Some Co-ops are quite large, though many are convenience store size. This review focuses on the food stores, although other Co-op owned businesses include its bank branches, travel ...  Read the complete review

I think that most people are interested in where to shop and how other people do their own shopping. Otherwise there wouldn't be quite so many surveys on Supermarkets alone. I've had a few lately and it gave me the idea to write about my own local Co-operative store and why I shop there. Overview ^^^^^^^^^ I ...  Read the complete review

I must admit i do shop at co-op quite often as it only 200 yards from where i live, but that does not mean that i agree with their prices. It does sell a variety of items from... dog food, fresh meat and veg, magazines books, papers, chocolate biscuits , ice cream and plenty more items. Being convenient for me i do shop there a lot.. if ...  Read the complete review

The co-op is an excellent all rounder fo food basics, extras you might need everyday and of course one can do their main shop at this store however it is a little expensive to do this. I shop at the co op regularly which also hosts to somerfield as they are now the same company which in turn has led to alot cheaper products ...  Read the complete review

As Somerfield has recently been taken over by the Co-op, our local supermarket is now a Co-op store. Before this take over, we didn't have a Co-op local to us so I wasn't really familiar with the store. Since the take over I have noticed that there are a lot more offers in store such as buy one, get one free's, three for two ...  Read the complete review

We recently moved house and our new local store was the Co-op in Attleborough Nuneaton. We use to live by a Somerfield which sold a lot of Co-op products so we assumed the Co-op would be similar. The shop is of an average size with a handy cash point out the front. There is a wide selection of food and they make ...  Read the complete review

Ahh, the Co-op, the lifeblood of any local community, the very heart of its existence, we can get together there, meet our neighbours and discuss how to set the world to rights as Co-op suggests, or is it just a very handy local store, slightly over-priced and set along the same lines as Spar or Nisa? The Co-op for ...  Read the complete review

The Co-op is not the place where I do all my grocery shopping, but it is where I get all my fruit and veg, as well as the odd other thing. While I take issue with its lack of selection in other departments, I can't fault the selection or price of its fruit, vegetables and potatoes. Unlike any other supermarket near me, my ...  Read the complete review

The co-op has been around for many years and I can remember them from when I was very small. They have recently teamed up with Somerfield and since the sale of Safeway have become the largest local supermarket retailer in Britain. The one thing that the co-op has above all the big supermarkets is that in my area (and many ...  Read the complete review

Although I try to avoid buying too much in my local Co-Operative store, because I find it pricey, because of it's convenience, I do still purchase some important items there quite often. Not only is this small store the closest and only shop of it's kind within easy walking distance but, it stay open weekdays until ten at night. It ...  Read the complete review

Going to Co-op for a daily shop is both refreshing and convenient for the consumer with a busy lifestyle. As you walk in you are first struck by the open layout of the shop which provides a calm shopping experience, aided by the wide set isles allowing for groups of people to happily stand in one section without feeling ...  Read the complete review

Co-op has been my local supermarket for about a year but I've shopped there numerous times in the past. Even growing up in central / west London (North End Road) we had a local co-op. Range is probably the most important factor for me in a supermarket - I'm not keen on eating similar food every day. However, co-op doesn't ...  Read the complete review

Co-operative food stores being effectively in large part corner shop brand are in my opinion doing very good job of it. Some complain it's sometimes bit pricey but I do think there are valid reasons for that: 1. this is after all a corner shop - they're never the cheapest because of logistics involved in such business; 2. co-op's own ...  Read the complete review

I have 3 co ops in a three mile radius to me and they are similar in appearances, but so different in prices. I found not all co ops offer the same things and the price can vary from a couple of pounds to a couple of pence. I love to go to the one in our village, you can pick up the bread and milk, buy a lottery ...  Read the complete review

I recently moved house and there is a Co-Op within walking distance which has proven to be quite useful in terms of convenience but it may also meant that i spend more money as they are slightly more expensive due to their convenience. Although, i've been in my new house over a year a couple of weeks ago we recieved a Co-op ...  Read the complete review
