We understand just how difficult & expensive it sometimes can be, to find cruelty free, ethical products.

Our main aim is to help ethical people to easily find ethical goods at affordable prices through our website  www.alternativestores.com . For something to be classed as ethical it must not include animal ingredients, not to have been tested on animals or produced in poor working conditions.

We offer a wide range of goods with a large choice of organic, fair trade, green, eco, recycled, environmentally friendly options.

All of our products are of course suitable for vegans & vegetarians, dairy free with many suitable for those with special dietary needs such as gluten free & wheat free.

We are registered with Viva & were voted by their members to be the best online store.

We are a small vegan vegetarian family business & we promote a cruelty free, ethical lifestyle.

We aim to keep things affordable for vegetarian & vegans to make it as easy as possible for people to go & stay vegetarian/vegan & reduce animal suffering & cruelty.

We support & work with local vegetarian vegan projects & events, supporting local business & suppliers whenever possible.

We recycle & reuse everything possible in our business operations & try to use/offer organic, fairtrade, eco friendly goods whenever possible.
