Hi posting here mainly to get potentially the biggest audience.

I currently order my raw and totally unprocessed honey from The Raw Honey Shop.
I've used them for a long time and have been happy.
They add reward points to your account for various reasons.
They give a discount for the points accumulated, and if you purchase over a certain amount.
Their main suppliers tend to be from Greece or Spain, and I've had some really lovely dark mega thick honeys with antibacterial properties and a level of 18.5 active. (I have occasionally been lucky enough to buy a higher active level).

I would however like to know if anyone out there has purchased quality honey such as above, and in bulk in order to obtain discounts...

Would you be happy to post where you buy your honey from?

By the way, I don't purchase Manuka honey, as it is beyond my budget, and I've seen that not all Manuka honey is genuinely Manuka... the name has unscrupulously been used where it ISNT the genuine article.

Many thanks for reading, and I hope in a way, that nothing beats my current supplier, as they have been very helpful to me, and I do like to be a loyal customer...
Cost Of Living crisis makes one review their expenditure 🥺

Find a local supplier rather than stuff that's sourced from Spain or Greece.

I thought local honey was supposed to be the one. Particularly if you have allergies (or something). There are are often lots of local honey producers supplying local shops and markets. I'd go for that.

You'd have been better off with a different username before shilling us your honey.

I buy honey locally, I'm sure you could negotiate a discount for a bulk order.

I'm not gonna trawl prices with your supplier so no idea if it'll be cheaper or not but infinity wholefoods are very amenable and easy to deal with people who supply lots of varieties of raw honey.

I can only reiterate that I'm NOT an advertiser

Course not 🙄

No!!!! this is NOT an advert from a supplier.
I am a genuine poster, and used Mumsnet for a lonnnnnng time.
I suppose I can see that because of my praise for my current supplier, that it could be perceived as an advert
I promise that my sole purpose is to not just blithely stick with who I've always used, but to see what else is available.

Shame I've attracted a poster that may have discouraged other potentially helpful posters....

I can only reiterate that I'm NOT an advertiser....

Thank you

Do MN allow adverts in AIBU? This post clearly is one.
