Thoughtful Foods is a not-for-profit food cooperative which is owned, managed & run according to the wishes of its members.
Our aim is to provide cheap, minimally packaged & ethically produced wholefoods food & household products to UNSW students, staff & the local community. Most of our products are unpackaged & bought in bulk. You bring along your own containers & scoop or pour out exactly the amount you want. Neither you nor the environment pays for unnecessary packaging. We try to supply ethically, socially & environmentally sound products. Unlike supermarkets, we have a concern for who produces the goods, under what conditions & by what methods.The beauty of Thoughtful Foods is that the more involved you are, the cheaper the goodies become & the cheaper the goods are, the more people become involved. Thoughtful Foods members receive the member discount (currently 10%) off almost all products in the shop. Members who work for at least one hour per week receive the working members’ discount (currently 25%) off their purchases. Members who work at least two hours per week get the working members’ extra discount (currently 40%). Members can also receive discounts for work undertaken outside the shop that assists Thoughtful Foods.
