Consumer Co-operatives

A consumer co-operative aggregates the purchasing power of individuals and families to provide cheaper prices for goods and services and/or to obtain goods and services that would otherwise be unavailable.

A consumer co-operative can either exist as a community enterprise, where membership is open to the general public, or a consumer buying group that serves a particular stakeholder group such as university students. The following are links to buying groups that serve a particular stakeholder group.
