Melbourne pantry staples · Week of 14th September
Four staples. One price each. No specials, ever.
Our prices move with our costs — up and down — and every price we’ve ever charged is published. That’s the whole pitch.
One price for everyone. No loyalty-card games, no member pricing, no surge.
When our costs fall, your price falls. Decreases get passed on, not pocketed.
Nothing hidden. Every price we’ve ever charged, and the date it changed, is published permanently.
What’s in the box
One satchel. Four staples. One fair price for each.
The Starter Pantry is how most people buy from us — rice, flour, oats and olive oil arriving together. It isn’t a volume discount and there’s no inflated RRP behind it. Each staple costs exactly what it costs on its own; what you save is three delivery charges, because it ships as one satchel instead of four.
The Starter Pantry
Rice 2 kg · Flour 2 kg · Oats 1.8 kg · Olive Oil 3 L. One satchel, one delivery. Fortnightly or monthly — skip, pause or cancel any time.
Or take any staple on its own
Each staple is sold on its own at exactly the same price it carries inside the box. Nothing is held back to make the bundle look better.
Our rules
Five rules. Two minutes to read.
This is the whole business. Everything else is groceries.
- 01Prices move with our costs, in both directions. When what we pay falls, what you pay falls.
- 02Our margin doesn’t change when our costs do. We never widen the gap when inputs get cheaper.
- 03No surge pricing. Ever. Demand doesn’t change what a kilo of rice should cost.
- 04No fake RRPs, no flash sales. A discount off an invented price isn’t a discount.
- 05Every price we’ve ever charged is published, with the date it changed. Falls included.
Why we exist
Two supermarkets account for roughly two-thirds of Australian grocery sales, and the ACCC has taken court action over discounts advertised against ‘was’ prices that weren’t real. Fairground Co is the alternative: one fair price per staple, set by someone who prices commodities for a living, moved only when our costs move, with every price we’ve ever charged on the record.
