Braintree District - Social Supermarket

Braintree District's 'Pop Up' Social Supermarket offers local residents the chance to shop at reduced prices. It will offer groceries at a 30-40% discount to budget supermarkets, and will also have a cafe on site offering free hot drinks and biscuits.

The Social Supermarket is designed to support individuals and families facing the challenges of the rising cost of living by offering access to low-cost essentials as well as finding out about local support in a welcoming environment.

The system works with a set price giving access to a set number of items, so £5 provides access to 10 items, £7.50 for 15 items, £10 for 20 items and £15 for 30 items. Groceries are colour coded according to value so a green sticker counts as half an item (2 for 1), yellow counts as 2 items, pink as 3 items and red as 4 items. Please bring your own shopping bag to carry your items home.

The Social Supermarket will initially operate bi-weekly at both White Colne Village Hall, and the White Lion Pub in Sible Hedingham.

For specific dates for each location please see our website: Social Supermarket
