Bargain Grocery Outlet (BGO)
Big Brands. Small Prices. Less Waste
Save Money. Reduce Food Waste. Protect the Planet.
More Than a Retailer
Bargain Grocery Outlet (BGO) is a purpose-driven retailer with a simple mission: to help families save money, reduce food waste and protect the planet. We believe perfectly good products should never go to waste while households are looking for better value. That's why we've created a different kind of retailer.
BGO is a surplus first, opportunistic retailer. We purchase quality products wherever exceptional buying opportunities exist, with a focus on reducing food waste, delivering outstanding value and creating a constantly changing treasure-hunt shopping experience.
From grocery and drinks to frozen foods, household products, pet supplies and everyday essentials, every product we rescue creates value for our customers, our suppliers, our communities and the environment.

Why Are Our Prices So Low?
Every year, over 10.7 million tonnes of food are wasted across the UK, much of it perfectly good to eat. Products are often discarded because they are surplus, overstocked, delisted, subject to packaging changes, seasonal clearances, export cancellations or approaching their best-before date—not because they are unsafe. When food goes to waste, we don't just lose the food itself.
We also waste precious water, farmland, energy, transport, packaging and the hard work of everyone involved in producing it. Research by WRAP and WWF estimates that avoidable household food waste in the UK has a water footprint of approximately 6.2 billion cubic metres every year, highlighting the enormous amount of natural resources embedded in food that is never eaten. Reducing food waste isn't simply about saving food.
It's about conserving valuable natural resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Our Solution
At BGO, we believe surplus should never mean waste. By rescuing surplus, overstock, short-dated, discontinued, end-of-line and products beyond their best-before date (where appropriate and safe), we give perfectly good products a second chance instead of allowing them to go to waste. This creates benefits for everyone.
- Families save money on everyday shopping.
- Suppliers recover value from surplus stock.
- Food waste is reduced across the supply chain.
- Natural resources are protected.
- Communities gain access to affordable products.
It’s a simple idea with a powerful impact.
How BGO Works
We work directly with manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers to source exceptional buying opportunities, including:
- Surplus stock
- Overstock
- Short-dated products
- Products beyond their best-before date (where appropriate and safe)
- Packaging changes
- End-of-line products
- Seasonal clearances
- Export cancellations
- Delisted product lines
Where surplus opportunities do not exist, we also source selected grocery, household and everyday products that represent exceptional value for our customers. Because we buy opportunistically rather than through traditional long-term purchasing programmes, we’re able to offer branded products at prices often up to 70% below typical retail prices.
We never sell products beyond their use-by date.
Why We're Different
Unlike traditional supermarkets, convenience stores and warehouse clearance outlets, BGO specialises in creating value from surplus.
Our stores combine:
- Famous brands at exceptional prices.
- A constantly changing range of exciting products.
- A genuine treasure-hunt shopping experience.
- Grocery, household and everyday essentials.
- A modern shopping environment.
- A commitment to reducing food waste.
- Outstanding value for money.
Every visit is different.
Every bargain has a story.
When It’s Gone, It’s Gone.
Best Before Doesn't Mean Unsafe
One of the biggest misconceptions in food retail is that products become unsafe after their best-before date. They don’t. A best-before date relates to quality, freshness, flavour and texture not food safety. Many ambient food and drink products remain perfectly safe to consume beyond their best-before date when stored correctly.
At BGO:
- We never sell products beyond their use-by date.
- We operate to strict food safety and compliance standards.
- We clearly communicate date information to our customers.
- Customer safety and trust always come first.
LOOK • SMELL • TASTE • DON’T WASTE
Many foods remain perfectly safe to enjoy after their best-before date. Use your senses where appropriate,
always follow storage instructions and use-by dates, and help reduce unnecessary food waste.

Everyday Essentials Too
While surplus products are at the heart of our business, we know customers also want to complete their shopping in one place.
That’s why we stock a carefully selected range of everydayessentials, including bread, milk, eggs, frozen foods, household products, pet supplies and grocery staples.
Where surplus opportunities do not exist, we source these products conventionally while continuing to offer outstanding value.
