The Bread And Butter Thing

About us

The Bread and Butter Thing is a low-cost food membership service aimed at helping individuals and families access affordable groceries while reducing food waste.

Operating in communities across the UK, including Redcar & Cleveland, it offers weekly food bags filled with surplus stock from supermarkets, manufacturers, and suppliers.

Members pay a small fee to receive a selection of fresh fruit and veg, chilled items, and cupboard staples.

The service helps stretch tight budgets, supports healthier eating, and fosters community connection through local collection points and friendly volunteers.
