At Swindon
Pulse we keep as many fairly traded and organic goods as possible. Whilst many
of our products do not have the fair trade mark, many are bought from small
growers, local suppliers and co-operatives. This helps to ensure that everyone gets a
fair days wage for a fair day’s work and hopefully has some say in the running
of the companies that we buy from. We always try the products we
sell, and we try not to stock products that supermarkets have, however, we won’t compromise on taste and quality just to be right on, pc
and cool – if we don't like it, we don’t stock it!
In summer
we buy as many of our fruit and vegetables as possible from
We sell a
wide range of dried wholefoods that we bag up from bulk sacks - which helps to
keep costs down - 90% of them organic, and from all corners of the globe. We
have a large selection of dried herbs and spices and some herbal remedies which
we weigh up for you, from as little as 40p an ounce (30g), and because we sell
so many of them they don’t sit on the shelf going stale like they do in
supermarkets!
Of course, we also sell cruelty free and bio-degradable toiletries and cleaning products – come and have your Ecover bottles refilled – save money and generate less plastic waste! We also carry an extensive range of Alfred Vogels herbal remedies in tincture form, which can help with all sorts of ailments from coughs, colds and hay fever, to liver problems, menopause and sleeplessness….the list is endless.
We stock a
few good cookbooks about beans and pulses, gluten free and vegan diets, because
so many people ask ‘how do you cook it?’, and we have lots of info leaflets to
pick up too, along with a notice board for local holistic therapists and groups
to pin up a card or poster.

Some will almost certainly go up, some will come down - yes, we do put our prices down too!
The price of nuts and beans fluctuates wildly, so the price list will probably be out of date very soon!
Our stock changes all the time, new lines are added, some are discontinued, some are unavailable depending on world markets, or world weather, or whatever and stuff......
