Scoop and Save

Re: Scoop and Save

Does anyone else remeber these shops or was it just a midlands thing? you could buy Teabags, Coffee, Cornflakes etc and you used to weigh them out your self and they were always kept in barrels and you lifted the lids up and used a scoop thing, they were probably good for pensioners if they only required small amounts of something.
I havent seen one of these shops for about 15 years i suspect they may have been stopped cause of health and safety stupidness.

There still is one in the Town where I live! It closed down for about 5 years then re-opend!

In "the day" I remember it's name (dunno if it was a nickmane or what!), was the Weight-Up Shop for some reason.
