The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) - St John's Centre

The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) at St John’s Centre is a great way to save money on your groceries every week and help to reduce food waste.

You can join TBBT for free, and your first weekly order is free too, so you can try it and see if it suits you.

You get three bags of shopping (one fresh fruit and veg, one fridge goods, one store-cupboard goods) for £7.50. You can also get a larger or smaller order to suit your household. You don’t have to take food every week, and you can vary the size of your order.

TBBT get supplies from the stuff you hear about in the news going to waste – perfectly good food that just isn’t needed by supermarkets, factories or farms. This means that you don’t get a choice about what you are given – though you can have a vegetarian order.
