Welcome to Score Grocery Discounter!
About Us
At Score, we believe that saving money shouldn’t mean sacrificing quality. Our mission is simple: to provide top-brand groceries, toiletries, and household items at unbeatable prices. As a family-run business, we take pride in offering safe, discounted products through a model that not only helps your wallet but also helps reduce food waste.
A Family-Run Business with a Purpose
Score Grocery Discounter is proud to be a family-owned and operated business. We started Score with the goal of helping families like ours save money without compromising on the quality of the products we all rely on. As a small, independent business, we are dedicated to offering personal customer service and a shopping experience built on trust, transparency, and incredible value.
Our focus isn’t just on helping your family’s budget, though. We’re also passionate about reducing food waste. By rescuing short-dated products and bringing them to you at discounted prices, we’re helping to fight unnecessary waste while providing a sustainable, eco-conscious shopping option.
Our Guarantee: Quality & Safety First
At Score, we’re committed to providing the highest quality products, regardless of their dates. We rigorously check every item before it hits our shelves, ensuring it meets safety standards. All of our stock, whether short-dated or past its Best Before date, is carefully stored and regularly monitored so that you can shop with confidence.
If for any reason you're not satisfied, our customer-first approach means we’ll make it right — guaranteed.
What is Short-Dated Stock?
You’ve probably noticed that many of our products are listed as “short-dated” — but what does that mean? In the retail world, short-dated products are items that are approaching their Best Before date, but are still perfectly safe to use.
Here’s the difference:
- Short-Dated: These products are near the “Best Before” date but have not passed it. While the quality may slightly decline (e.g., crispiness or color), they remain safe to consume.
- Outdated: This term often refers to products that have passed their Best Before date but are still safe to use. A "Best Before" date is an indicator of optimal quality, not food safety. Many items, especially dry goods, canned products, and toiletries, are fine to use after this date with minimal difference in taste or effectiveness.
By offering short-dated and some near "best before" products, we can pass along massive savings — sometimes up to 70% off the original price — while still ensuring every item on our shelves is safe and high-quality.

The Difference Between “Best Before” and “Use By”
It’s important to know the difference between these common labels:
- Best Before Date: This is a guide to when the product will be at its peak quality, but it doesn't mean the product is unsafe after that date. Many items, such as canned goods and dry products, are still fine to use after the "Best Before" date.
- Use By Date: This is typically found on fresh foods like dairy, meat, and prepared meals. After the “Use By” date, these items may not be safe to consume and should be discarded.
At Score, we sell Best Before dated products that are either approaching or just past their date. You can feel confident that all products are safe, and we guarantee the quality of everything we sell.

At Score Grocery Discounter, we’re more than just a store — we’re part of a movement. Our mission is to tackle food waste and make it easier for households to access affordable, quality goods. Every item you buy helps us reduce the environmental impact of perfectly good food being thrown away simply because it’s near or past its Best Before date.
Together, we can make a difference — saving you money and helping the planet, one cart at a time.
