As the cost-of-living crisis bites, discount grocery stores such as Cheaper Buy Miles and NQR are playing an increasingly important role in household budgets.
Anyone who has visited a Cheaper Buy Miles store will recognise the delight of walking out with a random bag of loot: wasabi crackers, berry kombucha, a protein date bar, pickled mussels, a kilo of brie, all for under $20? Don’t mind if I do.

NQR has 21 stores in Victoria, usually larger and in outer suburbs with ample parking.
“Everybody is looking to save money, which brings them into our business more than it has in the past, and there’s growing awareness around food waste,” he said.
