I must admit, I've never been a huge fan of co-op - however that's changed recently.
Where I grew up there was always a co-op in the village. I only ever nipped up to the village for a magazine but very rarely for anything else. I viewed it as a 'cornershop' and with that image came the view that it was more expensive that your 'normal' supermarkets that you use for your big shop.
I have recently moved to another town and got myself a house and again we have co-op in the local village. I have however been very impressed with what I've seen so far. I've used it for our supply of bread and milk and any other emergency things that crop up. When I've been in I've been impressed with the number and value of offers that they have on. These offers are comparable to, if not better than, some of the larger supermarkets stores that you get ...

The Corrs - Talk on Corners
The Corrs are a band who hail from Ireland. They are made up of four siblings, Jim and his three sisters, Andrea, Sharon and Caroline. I think they have a really unique sound with beautiful beautiful voices. I would describe their music and folk based with lots of meaningful lyrics. They also have quite an Irish based sound as well, on a lot of their songs there is a background Irish rythm which is what I think makes them quite a different type of mainstream band.
What I also love about them is that they all can actually play instruments and to me that is a sing of a true musician and band. They include a lot of different sounds in their songs and I really think this adds depth. For example, some of the instruments they play include the tin whistle, violin, drums, guitar and keyboard. I think it also helps ...
Advantages: convenient location, servicing local needs, promotions Disadvantages: limited variety/stock, very limited parking
There?s a quiet revolution taking place in our neighbourhood and the outcome would seem to be set fair for the consumer. Over the past few months several small stores that used to have the appearance of slightly run-down cornershops have been given a facelift and now proudly sport the Costcutter logo. Now it must be said that we are not at the forefront of this revolution. Already some 1200 Costcutter stores have been established nationwide by this company, and its growth since its inception in 1986 has not gone unnoticed. But in our neighbourhood, it?s new.
One thing all Costcutter stores have in common is that they are small. They range from 500 to 5000 square feet in size. They cannot hold large stocks of things and so choice is limited, but if what I understand is correct, individual storekeepers are free to determine what ...
