'Families can save £200 a month at community shop'
Published: 12/27/2025

The newly opened "social supermarket" at North Bransholme Community Centre in Hull is offering families savings of up to £200 a month on groceries. The shop sells surplus food at significantly reduced prices, with basic items like fruit, vegetables, and bread priced as low as 20p each. Supported by the Community Shop Group, this initiative not only helps families save money but also aims to reduce food waste by repurposing surplus stock from food industry partners. The store is a welcome resource for households struggling to make ends meet and is expected to alleviate pressure on food banks in the area.
