• Humans MCR Grocery Delivery Service

  Fri 06 May 2022

  What is it?

  It’s a grocery delivery service. We use our food redistribution network to source good quality food that we can pass on at a reduced price.

  It sounds too good to be true. Is the food fresh?

  Yes! Some items may be beyond their Best Before date but never beyond their Use By date. If we wouldn’t eat it, we won’t send it.

   

  How much food do you get and how much does it cost?

  There is a yearly membership fee of £5. Weekly groceries depend on the size of your household but will include fruit & veg, cupboard staples and ambient goods and will occasionally contain fresh meat and fish protein and prepared meals. Prices below include delivery. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept households of more than 8 persons at this time.
