Have you started planning for the cost of this Christmas? Why not make life easier at Christmas by joining the Ritchies Christmas Club!

You can pick up an application form at your local store or download one from Here

Once you have filled out this form you can either drop it back to your local store or post it to us. We will then forward you a Ritchies Christmas Club Membership Card, which you can use as both your Community Benefit Card and Christmas Club Card.

Then you simply present your Christmas Club Membership Card and tell the cashier that you would like to put some money towards your Ritchies Christmas Gift Card.

Pre purchasing a Ritchies’ Christmas Gift Card to purchase groceries and liquor at the end of the year is a great way to reduce the expense and stress at Christmas time. You can pre purchase any amount you like from 50 cents upward.

Two receipts will be issued!  The first one is for you to keep as a record of your pre paid Ritchies Christmas Gift Card. Keep this in a safe place!

The second receipt is forwarded to our Head Office for further processing.  Please make sure that you PRINT your NAME and TELEPHONE NUMBER on this receipt.

A statement will be issued to you in the first week of December and a letter inviting you to collect your Ritchies Christmas Club Pack from the store you have nominated.  Your pack will consist of a plastic wallet to safeguard your Ritchies Christmas Card along with a summary page to keep track of your spending. Your card can then be used as a normal eftpos card in any of our Supermarkets and Liquor stores until your balance is spent.

Save over $100 in value and you will receive a delicious Christmas Gift with our compliments for the festive season.

Ritchies Christmas Club is a really great idea!

Don’t delay!  Join up today!

Aussie Owned Brands Need Our Support!

By the year 2000, the average supermarket trolley contained groceries that were 85% foreign owned or made. Independent retailers are now fighting back! Many of Australia's largest independent grocery retailers have got together to promote Aussie owned brands on their shelves via Fight Back's "shelf talker" program.

This initiative will give consumers the choice of supporting Australian made & owned brands. Aussie manufacturers have fought against multi-nationals with large marketing budgets for decades. Imports of low priced products from developing countries have destroyed the industry, and reduced food manufacturing exports by nearly one third. Buy Australian made and owned products and support our manufacturers first... they are part of the fabric of the Australian way of life, and they support our local communities, and sporting teams. The Fight Back Shelf Talker Program makes buying 'Australian made and owned’ products easier!

When you see one of these "Shelf Talkers" in front of a product in your friendly, local IGA supermarket, you are assured that the store continues to range your favourite Aussie Owned brands, and the supermarket is also Australian Owned. Support Aussie farmers, and fruit and vegetable growers, Australian Owned grocery brands, and your locally owned IGA supermarket. Simply support your favourite 'Aussie Owned, or Grown products.' Look for the Fight Back Shelf Talkers instore!

Visit Fightback for Australia for more information.
