Inside Australia’s cheapest supermarket selling products at 80 per cent off: ‘We’re here to help’

Australian families are weathering the cost of living crisis by shopping at a little-known discount store where groceries are almost 80 per cent off.

NQR (Not Quite Right) has 27 locations across South Australia and Victoria.

The supermarket buys its stock from manufacturers and sells products close to their expiration dates and overproduced items, which is why you will not find fresh food in stores.

Recent specials include Red Rock Deli Chips for $2, 1kg Yoplait Mango Yogurt for $3, 1kg Bertocci Bacon for $12 and more.

The discount chain is perfect for stocking up on cleaning supplies and pantry staples like rice, canned lentils, pasta, sauces and instant noodles.

Chief executive Ewan Jones told FEMAIL: ‘We are the cheapest supermarket in Australia. We pride ourselves on offering the right price to our customers and NQR is the best for snacks and frozen foods. We sell yogurt for 1 dollar and in other supermarkets it costs 7 dollars.’

And he added: ‘Our goal is to help customers who have difficulties. You can really stock up on chips and drinks – it’s cheaper across the board than any other supermarket.

‘If I were a customer, I would shop at NQR first and get my deals before buying fresh fruit, vegetables and meats elsewhere. “The amount of money you save really adds up.”

You will also find baked goods and frozen foods on the shelves.

Shoppers have praised the discounts on gluten-free and dairy-free items as they are typically sold at higher prices at other supermarkets due to dietary restrictions.

Many have shared their amazement at the online supermarket on Facebook and Reddit.

‘I’ve just started shopping (on NQR) but I’m overwhelmed with the value on offer. They simply go where no major supermarket chain, including Aldi, goes.

‘I’m currently feasting on two cubes of noodles for $1.20 and a tub of organic yogurt for $3.50. You can also buy three packages of rice crackers for $1; at Woolworths they sell for $2.20,” said one.

‘I love NQR, I’m the only sweet tooth in the family so I get all my supplies from there. They often buy out of stock Ben and Jerrys flavors and sell them for as little as $3 a jar,” one man wrote.

‘I buy my essentials in bulk here. There should be more of these shops!’ said a third.

Some offered some advice on shopping at discount stores like NQR.

‘The most important thing to remember here is that if you see something you want, buy it immediately. They often have short dates and out of stock and cannot be trusted to be there next week or to be back in stock.

“I’ve lost count of how many times my wife saw something here (or at the reject store), and a day later she decided to buy it and found out it was gone and I never saw it again at those prices,” one man shared . .
