We do this by purchasing end of lines, change of packaging, short-dated and cancelled export orders from local suppliers and then sell it to the public at heavily reduced prices.
The stock changes every day as we get new clearance stock in to sell. We have a range of frozen, chilled, and dry grocery lines and look out for the weekend specials as this is normally when all the yoghurts and specialty cheese are in stock.
We also stock the cheapest milk in town including the old fashioned silver top. By shopping at Reduced To Clear you know you are also helping save the planet as RTC saves thousands of tonnes of food from going to waste per annum.

* Choose gifts with as little packaging as possible, or have
compostable packaging.
* Choose gifts in glass, paper or cardboard rather than plastic.
* Use recycled or recyclable wrapping when possible.
* Wrap gifts in a nice tea towel or handkerchief tied with a
ribbon or non-plastic string so the packaging is also useful.
* Give gifts that support people to make change such as a
nice takeaway coffee cup, glass or metal storage containers,
metal drink bottles, beeswax wrappers, useful carry bags, etc.
* Give a food hamper in a basket or box.
* Make homemade gifts that are edible or useful.
* Don't prepare more food than is required, and use or freeze
leftovers.
* Use paper plates and wooden cutlery, rather than plastic, if not
using proper plates and cutlery.
Happy Christmas everyone.

It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.
May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”
Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
