Chit Chat / Re: Any Tassie Thermomix Co-ops?
« on: February 24, 2012, 04:16:14 am »
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all happy and healthy! Came across online supplier 2brothersfoods.com (thanks to quirkyjo) who have pretty good prices, especially their nuts. Jump on and have a browse and if you see something you would purchase please shoot me an email or just reply here. Also we will be putting an order into glutenfreehealth.com.au who supply F.G Roberts brand of gluten free bread mixes etc, so if you would like to purchase some please don't hesitate to let me know.

Also I will be doing a trip down to Source foods at hobart to purchase somethings there.

Talk soon!
Emmy

Hi guys,
Sorry no chats from me since December.....I really want to get this off the ground so if anyone is interested could them pm me with what they would most likely buy (and an email or contact number), i am also gathering the same from people in my friends circle and church so we should hopefully have a good number, when I get an idea of what people would buy and the quantities I will try and source the cheapest prices and let everyone know, if everyone is happy we can go ahead and order. Quirky Jo has some great tips on her blog about storing bulk items if anyone was wondering about that. ;)

Maybe we could also look at sourcing some things from source whole foods in hobart for us launy folk as some of their items are pretty good! Also I have come across a local business who roasts really good coffee! very fresh, quick (normally same day) delivery and excellent prices Standard Blend No. 5 $24/kg & Decaff $28. We are picky with our coffee and this guy is very good!

For those interested looking to purchase meat in bulk as well - pasture fed !!! have to double check the price but sure it was around $5/kg

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Thanks Emmy

Hi guys,

Cecilia - on Jo's facebook page she has listed for us 2:
1.Hobart Organic Co-op located in the back of the Resistance Centre, Hobart
2.Help Yourself, Devonport: 90c Oldaker St, Devonport, 9:30 - 5:30 Mon - Fri, 9:30 - 12:30 Sat
Not sure if you are thinking of devonport? But if there are more hiding, i would love to know (thanks for your reply)

Mandi -  Yes i know what you mean! We are a single income family and we save where we can, thats why we are turning to Co-op's because in principal it should be cheaper so I got a bit of a surprise when i found out how much some of there things are. Although there is a supplier here that isn't that cheap so maybe they have sourced locally? not sure. But if I can gather enough troupers and put in a bulk order we can get Insecticide free almonds (just for an example) for $10.61/kg (not including shipping) so it's worth doing i think! Quirky Cooking said they order every 4-6 months and that would be my aim, maybe start out every 6 months and see how that goes? not sure yet (thanks for your reply)

Anyway...I've put the word out to my friends and another friend is posting it on facebook to get the word out, maybe we can get quite a few to make it worth the effort!

Thanks everyone.....
Emmy

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies! I have found of a co-op in Hobart. Their prices though are still a little high for me (example having to pay over $23/kg for almonds eeek) and then I would still have to drive 2hrs to pick it all up.
Thanks megan...I will pm her and find out some more details!

Will keep you all posted so that others have the information as well.

Cheers emmy

Hi guys,
I'm just wondering if there are any thermomixers involved in Co-ops down here in Tassie (Launceston)? I am possibly going to start one (as suggested by Jo - quirkycooking), if there aren't any here.

Thanks guys
Emmy
