The Bread and Butter Thing (Benwell)

The Bread and Butter Thing (Benwell) is an affordable mobile food club. They offer low cost weekly shopping bags. It’s cheaper than buying food in shops. The bags contain fruit and vegetables, fridge favourites and cupboard staples. It’s free to become a member. They accept Healthy Start vouchers and vegetarian options are available.

The food bags change each day.  this means  you won’t save the same amount of money each time. You will get  new foods to try and the cost of the bag may be reduced if they have less food available.

3. Select the size of your food bag (vegetarian options are available):  Individual is £5, Family is £8.50, Large Family is £17
