Having watched the Channel 4 program last night on the 'People's supermarket', it struck me that Sheffield would be a perfect place to set up a similar initiative. The premise is that this supermarket can compete with Tesco/ASDA etc on price by using local community cooperation, with members of the supermarket paying an initial set sum (say £25), and then offering a few hours of their time to work in the shop per month for free. Members then get a discount (say 10%) off their shopping bills, which bring the prices down to tesco levels. The set up would of course need an initial cash injection. This in response to the unfair prices paid by large supermarkets to producers, money earned by top execs, and levels of waste produced which is all part of the business plan. Social networking etc would be a good way to spread the word, so that this idea would be feasible in today's climate. Who's up for it? search for people's supermarket on facebook or the channel 4 website for more details.
