The onsite Co-op

We tried to get ice multiple times last year and it was always sold out. I wouldn't go under the impression it's definitely available and just consider it a bonus if you can get some (if you are expecting to use it to keep a coolbox cold for example). 

I was staying in Sticklinch so passed it twice most days and managed to buy ice every day. 

Someone on here had suggested one of these, https://www.amazon.co.uk/SHO-Food-Flask-Insulated-Outrageous/dp/B097F3MBHZ

which was  a third cheaper a year ago and pretty much kept some of it frozen until next day despite the great weather, so was perfect. The bags they sell are much bigger than it held so we were usually giving it away where possible. 

For mixers as I've written in another thread, be mindful the range is limited. 

Last year I think someone posted a list of what they would stock?

always camp pretty much right outside co-op so use it all the time in the mornings. great to grab some fruit and a drink, plus ice for the cans to keep cool. Has decent stock as others have said. Even when busy, the que always moves pretty quickly.

Fresh meat? 

Guess it could be for folks making bacon baps 🤔

BBQ type stuff if I recall 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

From googling images of it, there does seem a decent amount of stuff there. The shelves for the meal deals look a bit empty sometimes, but some fruit, a sarnie, and a cold soft drink will do wonders for keeping costs down and filling a hole.

In some of the pics I've seen there were stacks of packs of bacon. Not sure if they'll have that much variety though... Maybe just brekkie articles rather than whole chickens.

I only found it per chance on the Glasto Feed and was like, hey, I know that name! https://www.glastofestfeed.com/news/co-op-glastonbury-2022/

It doesn't sell Tonic Water.

I was trying to find pictures of prices in comparison to a usual store in a city. 

The mark-up doesn't look too bad, although this photo is from 2022, says 3 quid a tub of Pringles, and they're only 2.90 in normal retail outlets. Perhaps price increase on top of that, but still not bad.

Can confirm

How much were mixers if anyone can remember? Big bottle of Pepsi was like £3 or so at Leeds last year, but obviously it's all canned stuff at Glastonbury, so expecting a fair mark up.

Full fat coke was £6.50 for a pack of 10.

Not sure about the watered down versions, presumably less but who'd care?

Oh that isn't bad at all, was expecting a lot more. Can't complain!

The only time I've been in there is when I was heading back to Sticklinch.. I had no intention of going in, but I made a 'mistake' and suddenly there I was.. I shuffled out and tried again. I think I made it.

This is really good to know, thanks for info, budget will be tight this year so glad to hear things like meal deals are on. Shame it doesnt sell tonic though as thats probably going to be my drink of choice!

[efcfanwirral]

Its really helpful for cereal bars, crisps etc. Usually we bring them in but as we're not in a car and we've got so much to carry, its nice to only have to bring snacks for Wednesday morning and stock up when there.

Does anyone remember if the Co-op stocks ginger beer or not? It'd save me carting a load of mixer in. Or limes/lime juice, actually?

I don't think so. I think it was a pretty basic selection, coke lemonade etc
