History

Save A Packet has provided Kingsbridge with an environmentally friendly way to shop for over 30 years

Starting out as The Sweet Stop with pick, mix, scoop and weigh sweets, the shop soon diversified offering a range of household and pantry essentials using the tried and tested scoop and weigh system allowing customers to purchase the quantities they needed whilst saving in packaging. Save A Packet became the town’s first ever refill store. Saving on packaging, with savings for your pocket whilst helping to save the planet.

Today, Save A Packet is owned by mother and daughter team, Sue and Claire Massingham.

Sue and Claire took on the shop when the previous owner was looking to retire.

” Having both used the shop to help us shop more environmentally friendly for many years, we knew that Save A Packet provided the people of Kingsbridge and surrounding areas with a much needed service, and we are thrilled to now own Save A Packet and for it to continue to serve the community with a simple, affordable, and eco way to shop”

“We continue to add new product lines and eco products, with an emphasis on making refill shopping convenient and affordable for everyone”

Claire and Sue are excited to be continuing to provide Kingsbridge, and the surrounding area, with a large range of refill products and plan to keep adding and improving to Kingsbridge’s original refill store!
