Best Discount Grocery Stores in Australia: Buy Cheaper Groceries

, , ,

The cost of living crisis is biting every single person in Australia.

But there are cheaper options out there for everything, if you look for them.

And yes, that includes cheaper groceries as well. 

Ever heard of “Discount Grocery Stores”? (aka Grocery Clearance Stores or Grocery Clearance Warehouses)

They have become increasingly popular over the last few years due to increased cost of living. 

So What is a Discount Grocery Store?

As the name suggests, these Discount Grocery Stores sell everyday grocery items at a way cheaper price than the supermarket giants like Coles, Woolworths, and even Aldi.

For example, in our recent visit to one of these discount grocery stores, we noticed the price of some of the grocery items as below. 

So what’s the catch?

The only catch is that most of the items sold are either discontinued, overstocked or close to use by date (expiry date) or best before date. 

So you will need to check the expiry date or best before date before buying the items in these stores.

Are they allowed to sell these products?

We had this question in mind as well. So we went and did some research on the Australian Government’s Food Standards website. 

And here is what we found:

There are 2 types of date labelling on food in Australia. These are:

  • Use by date products: These are the products that must be consumed before a certain date for health and safety reasons and can’t be sold after this date in Australia. 
  • Best before date products: These are the products that can be consumed after the best before dates but might lose some quality. These products can be sold after the best before date in Australia as long as they are fit for human consumption. 

Learn more about labelling on the government’s website here. 

In our observation, some of these stores are selling Best Before date products. But it is always very important to check the dates for every product. 

List of Discount Grocery Stores in Australia

Here is a list of Discount Grocery Stores in Australia:

Victoria

South Australia

Tasmania

New South Wales

Queensland

Western Australia

While some of these discount grocery stores also offer cheaper fresh food items like fruits, vegetables and meats, many of them don’t. 

So for fresh food items, we suggest you head to local fruit and vegetable markets in your state or territory at the end of the day to get cheaper deals for them.

You can also check Farmer’s Pick for saving money on your everyday fruits and vegetables needs.

If you know any more of these discount grocery stores in Australia, then leave a name of them in the comment section below.

Save this blog post as we are going to regularly update with new clearance stores. Also, share it with a friend who is looking for cheaper grocery alternatives in Australia.

Your Guide to Celebrate Halloween in Australia

, ,

Especially if you are coming from one of those countries where it is a huge tradition. 

Well, in this article, we are giving you a quick guide to Halloween in Australia.

Let’s go!

What are the Origins of Halloween?

Now a day, trick or treat, costumes, pumpkins come to mind when thinking about Halloween. But it wasn’t always like this. 

Halloween traditions date back more than 2000 years. 

It is said to be celebrated as the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of harvest season and start of winters.

Celts (who lived in the UK, Ireland and northern France) marked 31st October as the day for the return of spirits to the living world. 

So they wore costumes, masks, lit bonfires to keep these spirits away. 

Later on, with the spread of Chirstinaty, it was incorporated into All Saint’s Day (celebrated on 1st November). 

All Saints’ Day is also known as All Hallow’s Day. 

So a night before All Hallow’s Day became All Hallow’s Eve, which was shortened to what we know today “Halloween”.

The tradition of this festival was brought into the United States during the 19th century by the Irish and Scottish communities.  

Nowadays, Halloween is a fun-filled holiday for kids and teenagers in North America with varying celebrations.

A New Report Finds International Students and Skilled Migrants are Boosting Australia’s Economy

, ,

Research conducted by Pearson Education on more than 3000 PTE test takers reveal compelling insights into experiences and outcomes of individuals pursuing their dreams in Australia.

The Pearson Australian Dreams White Paper also provides details of the significant contributions of skilled migrants and international students to Australia’s economic and social landscape. 

Here are some of the key findings of the contributions made by skilled migrants and international students in Australia:

  • 91% of respondents were employed.
  • 72% of PTE migrants on skilled visas reported working in skilled professions, showcasing their valuable contributions to the workforce.
  • The median income of these migrants on skilled visas was $93,000, surpassing the national average median income of $67,600.
  • 50% of workers aspire to start their own business in Australia, indicating a strong entrepreneurial spirit among migrants. 
  • More than 1 out of 10 are volunteering in the community.

Additionally, the survey finds out:

  • 9 out of 10 migrants reported feeling welcomed in Australia.
  • 81% of migrants have built community connections, indicating a sense of belonging and integration.
  • 89% of respondents have experienced acts of kindness, reflecting positive interactions and support from the local community.
  • 64% of respondents chose Australia due to the high quality of education.
  • Additionally, the research highlights the positive experiences and opportunities encountered by migrants in Australia, with 81% having access to opportunities not available in their home countries.

The study highlights specific instances where migrants felt welcomed, such as being referred to as ‘mate’ by Australians or receiving support from the healthcare sector after an accident.

The white paper showcases many stories of these skilled migrants and international students in Australia who, rather than giving up on their dreams, chose to get out of their comfort zones, move to Australia and now contribute to the Australian workforce and culture.

We had a chance to speak some of them 👇.

The study also highlights the importance of learning English with 97% of migrants recognising the importance of English for communication, employment opportunities, and social integration.

Despite the availability of English language support services, only around a quarter of student visa holders utilised these resources, indicating a potential area for improvement.

The study underscores the importance of English language proficiency for international students and migrants, with the PTE being preferred by 87% of respondents for its fast results, test format, and ease of preparation. 

In conclusion, the Pearson Australian Dreams White Paper showcases the transformative impact of skilled migrants and international students on Australia’s prosperity, emphasising the value they bring to the country’s workforce, communities, and national identity.
