One of the best ways to save a little money is to shop at one of Melbourne’s best shops, Cheaper Buy Miles. These stores are a testament to what can be achieved with a little hard work and focus, and they have been fighting waste since 1995.

1. Cheaper Buy Miles is fighting food waste
So much of the fight against landfill and the damage it does to our environment comes down to food waste.

This means you can shop and know that not only will you get a bargain, but you’ll also be proactively saving food waste from contributing even more than the 6% of emissions currently.
2. It’s Cheaper… by miles
It does what it says on the tin, Cheaper Buy Miles has incredible discounts that can help you save a lot of money on your groceries. They achieve this by grabbing food that is destined for landfill and that is nearing or past its best-before date. You might be wondering if that’s safe, and it absolutely is. The food in the majority of cases has a good amount of time before it’s likely to meet the best-before date and it’s still only a fraction of the price.
Cheaper Buy Miles Footscray is the place to go if you want to save on your food bill and walk away with boxes full of food for a bargain price compared to your usual shop.
