Value for money. Good bargain option compared to Woolies and Coles
Been shopping at their Frankston store for some time and have been loving the bargain available. Some staff is really nice and the store is pretty much neat and organised. Good to choose as alternative to Woolies or Coles.

Please put a price tag on your products
We shop weekly at Nqr Frankston and are happy with the staff . But it would be nice to have the correct prices displayed on all their items and not having to ask the staff what price is this, due to no price tags.Even worse wrong prices displayed and not knowing until checkout, it wastes our time and yours.Hope someone at Nqr reads this and that we are not wasting our time.

Their pricing and range is good....
They carry the basics, and I generally just buy meat, frozen vegetables and cheese etc., some condiments etc.. The stores are generally located next to REAL green grocers and butchers. So this is in combination with Aldi for some other things, so it works out well.
Coles and Woolworths have both perpetually bungled my home deliveries for some time - where only 1/2 the order turns up, they refuse to fix it before they send it, and they expect me to be happy to wait a week or more for a refund... AND they both have refused to clean up their act...Read more
s.... "Oh sorry we could not substitute "Lebanese flat bread" with "flat bread, wraps or pita bread" because they are not Lebanese....." Just never ending problems with my orders like that. Well Coles and Woolworths have completely blown it. I won't screech about, "I will never enter their stores again - as long as I live", I will go to shop at Coles and Woolworths, if they are close by, and I happen to be going past, and usually only for a decent lunch on the run (e.g. hommus - flat bread - fresh veges, meat and cheese)... But other than that... Naaaaa.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great bargains. One staff member (works saturdays) at frankson NQR, completely rude.
Was served by a lady that rolled her eyes at me and gave me a blatant stare and made rude remarks everytime i made civil polite conversation with her. Other staff have been fine, but this lady on Saturdays is completely rude. Poor customer service.

Good place for bargains
We regularly shop at the Kilsyth shopping center weekly. Although we do use the other supermarkets there we always call in at NQR and see what bargains we can get. We rarely walk out without purchasing something.

Good value, we always check at NQR before going to Coles or Woolworths!
I'm talking about the Kangaroo Flat store. First of all it's important to remember that NQR stands for "not quite right" so many of the products offered are close to the "use by" or "best by" date, or deleted lines or end of line so what's available varies a fair bit from week to week. However, once you understand and accept that this is the nature of the business, it's a great place to shop. The staff at the Kangaroo Flat store are always very helpful and friendly and make shopping there a pleasant experience. I note that a lot of the staff have been working there for some time. There are generally good specials in the frozen and dairy sections and recently I have been buying some very nice Belgian beer at a great price!

Beware the Rose
Our store at Kangaroo Flat offers a good range of products at very good prices and products change regularly. To save a stop at the bottle shop on way home from shopping decided to try your Rose....unfortunately it was undrinkable

Great deals and bargains
Prices are amazing on most things. They have a big sellection of frozen foods and other goodies. Dont expect a supermarket because it a bulk buy store. Always have differnt specials and products you wont find at safeway or coles. Worth checking out.

Great but encourages you to overeat!
Good stuff, cheap with ever changing variety. Lots of chips, nuts and drinks. But sometimes gourmet specials. You might buy too much of the wrong stuff though and that's the downside

Treats we would otherwise have to go without
As my husband got ill and had to leave work we had to find ways of saving money......NQR has helped us so much over the past couple of years and we have easily saved over $3,000 dollars from our grocery bill. The products are fantastic and the variety has been terrific. We shop each week at NQR and along with growing our own vegetables and by our meat direct we have no need to purchase from other over costed supermarkets...... And we also get the most amazing treats from NQR if you haven't tried the otherwise very expensive dish'd

I love this store!
I'm a recently converted, now-passionate NQR shopper. I will go here every week to see if there are any bargains among the food I want, and then i buy up big. Their wine selection is also quite decent, I've found a few beautiful wines for $5 each

Worth a look every week
I check NQR weekly before my full grocery shop and also receive their email newsletter so I know what is on special. Savings are often huge, and even though not all items are stocked regularly, there is also a large selection of regular items ... frozen goods, pasta, bread, milk etc. They do NOT sell anything after the "use by" date but there are many items that are sold after the "best before" date ... these items are usually good months or even years after that date. As some reviewers have pointed out, the aisles may be crowded and it does...Read more
n't always look beautiful (although I have never thought it was dirty, and the staff is always very helpful). You have to adjust your expectations ... it's not a glossy supermarket with prices to match. It's a discount store, and the inconvenience of tight aisles is well worth the money I have saved. It is also wrong to assume everything is past its best before date ... many of the items have exactly the same best before date as the supermarket, often at less than half the price.Similar opinion?

If you see this shop, just keep walking past. Do not enter these dirty shops
Upon entering nqr shops, you notice the dirty floors, shelves and products. When I have purchased anything, I can be assured a trip to the doctors the next day. FOOD POISION HEAVEN. My advice if you see a nqr shop. Just keep walking. Want cheaper foods? Aldi, Coles and Safeway in my opinion are much cheaper and cleaner anyway. Time for this chain to close up again.
Bad Products, poor store layout, dirty shops, dirty floors. Grim and grot everywhere.

OK
ifi am at the shopping centre where the NQR store is I usually stop and pick up a few bargains. theprices are cheap, but I wouldn't expect to get my weekly groceries there. stillwell worth a look if you are after a bargain and if you need to buy in bulk. the last time I went into the store I was amazed by the politeness and friendliness of the staff member at the checkout.
cheap prices
Cant get everything I need in one shop.

Need for Understanding
It is very interesting reading the reviews, and it amazes me why people express an opinion without understanding the difference between a best before and an use by date. Products which display a best before date, after prefectly fine to purchase and consume after that date. Most manufacturers give months after a best before date due to the improvements in packaging etc. However in my experience NQR has very little stock which has past the best before date. A use by date is that, and I have not seen NQR selling products after the used by date ha...Read more
s been reach in the Dairy department. As far as I am concerned, I find a number of great products to purchase, and often lines which I can no longer get in the major supermarkets. I believe that NQR doesn't market itself as a place which you can do your whole shop, but the place to shop first if you want to buy a range of products at a low price. I shop at NQR first, then do my fruit, veg, meat and other items I couldn't get at one of the majors. Great staff at a number of stores i have visited, cheap pricing, good specials, and often lines that I can no longer get in the major supermarkets. Hint check the website for specials.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Not for a full grocery shop
I love NQR. My local has very helpful and friendly staff and great bargains. You couldn't do your whole shop here and you have to bve flexible with brands etc but it's great to visit on the way to doing your big grocery shop for the week and I feel I have saved money there. I work in a cafe and we often get things cheaper in NQR than from our actual suppliers!
Cheap
Specials change often so you can't get the same things each week

Terrible Store- Terrible Service
There was a poor range of stock available, and prices werent as competitive as I had expected. Service was less than adequate with an unprofessional approach and two issues with the register operator that required Manager intervention. This was an extreme waste of time, and I wont be returning, not soon, not ever.
Bad customer servicde, poor range, not that cheap.

great to stock up before a party
I always head to NQR if im expecting guests or going to a party, they almost always have a large election of nibbles, dips, cheeses and soft drinks at a fraction of the cost of the supermarket. The yoghurt is also very cheep and i often freeze this as 'ice-cream' if its close to the use by date.
Gives you the opportunity to try products you may not usually buy eg i tried the '5am organic yoghurt', which was about 50c a tub, and i loved it, now i get it from safeway but it's about $3.50!
The service isn't great at my local, and it can be hit and miss depending on what's in stock

Questions & Answers
pam carterasked
Do they have pasta as I feed the poor in the community
1 answer
Hi Pam, As I said in my review, NQR stands for "not quite right" which means that they deal with "end of line" close to "best by or use date", deleted items, over production and such so you cannot count on them to have a full range at any time. However, they have most things most of the time. They generally have pasta of some sort; we were there today and although we didn't buy any pasta I recall that they had the dry pasta which they have pretty much all of the time, plus some of that very nice filled San Remo ravioli (or similar) in the dairy case. We weren't looking for pasta today so I didn't notice the price - sorry. What we purchased today was minimal but we bought high quality (relatively low fat and relatively high protein) frozen pizzas for $1.99 (440 gram) which is super cheap as an equivalent item in Woolworths or Coles would be $7 or $3.50 or $4.50 on special. Occasionally they have commercial size packs of stuff in the dairy case at amazingly low prices - yoghurt and sauces etc. Given the nature of your interest I suggest that you subscribe to their email which will give you advance notice of their weekly specials so you can review things on line rather than having to make a check in person. There is a nice young bloke named Rick (I think) who is the Manager and two very nice young women (named Sarah and Tina from memory) who are the Shift Managers and perhaps it would be worthwhile for you to introduce yourself to them?
