Hi Ladies
I use a surplus supermarket called company shop.
There's only a few dotted around but honestly it's the only way we're keeping our life in normality.
Now the issue with it is, you have to be on certain benefits, fmcg (fast moving consumer goods), in the forces, nhs/bluelight, or work for Biffa. Added- I think if you run a charity you can be on it too.
The good part of that is if you're not applicable to the above but you know someone who is in any of the list... they can join and take you with them.
They are also allowed two nominations so they can sign you up even though you're not any of the list.
I work in food waste, as a subby for Biffa. We run food waste disposal sites around the uk, so I could blag a membership. Ive then nominated two very deserving friends who are barely keeping their heads above water.
Some days it's pants, there's nothing, my advice is to go when they open.
And yes, you'll see the odd Range Rover in the car park and feel a little confused.

I use the Corby and Leicester shops. Leicester is a hub so is huge compared to Corby.
