In this section we will attempt to address most of your frequently asked questions. If you have a question not answered here, please utilise our contact us page to send us your questions?
How much can we save?
We aim to save you at least 15% on the normal product prices, although some of our products can save you up to 50% of the normal price.
How is BudgetBuys able to reduce the price on products?
We reduce the price by reducing our profit margins and buying in bulk. We reduce our profit margins because we do not need to cater for the normal overheads which includes excessive marketing, buildings, stock etc. But we need your help to keep our prices as low as possible. Please ensure to invite and tell all your friends about us.
What brands are stocked?
We stock several brand names such as Eskort, Enterprise, Frey’s, Miami, the list goes on. As our product list grows, so does our range of brand names. Unfortunately we can’t stock all of the brands as our main aim is to ensure that you get the best price and value for your product.
BudgetBuys No-Name Brands. Can I trust them?
Definitely yes. Because we know that our name is the key to us lasting, we will not jeopardise this by providing you with inferior quality. We also need to ensure that you receive more brand for your rand.
BudgetBuys No-Name Brands, why?
Most companies have spent years and millions on building their brands, and have thus earned the market share willing to pay a bit more for their product, than their competitor’s product, but there is a huge market which would rather buy a good product for less, than paying more for a brand name. We test the brands and their quality thoroughly before we decide to brand it with our name, the large brand name we buy from then also benefit by gaining that market share without compromising their brand.

Why do we not open BudgetBuys stores?
Our main aim is to ensure that you save as much money as possible. We know that it is not always possible to plan on what you need, and that a need for a store in your region or area will be welcomed. According to our financial projections it will only be feasible for us to open a store, and keep the same low prices, once we achieve an active 3000 clients per area or region. Please help us to grow to this target in your area by inviting all of your friends, neighbours and Co-Workers to start saving. You can invite all of your friends and neighbours here online: Invite your friends.

Who benefits from BudgetBuys Social Responsibility?
You decide who to benefit, or who to add as beneficiary. When we are introduced into an area or region we usually target the schools and local churches as first priority. This way we know that we can directly have a positive effect on the neighbourhood. Children are our future, and the local churches does a marvellous job to assist the community where it is needed most. We do add other institutions as well, based on your feedback and requests, but we properly investigate these institutions before just adding them as beneficiaries.
What is an affinity partner?
Affinity partners is our “pet” name for our beneficiaries. We call it partnerships because we do not just try to assist financially, but also try to assist in other ways which might be of more value to them.
How do I become a distributor?
To become a distributor you are required to complete a questionnaire and submit it. We will then review the questionnaire to ensure that you have the means to become a successful distributor. Unfortunately our name is directly linked to our distributors and we have to scrutinise the applicants to ensure that we do not allow any chancers into our corner.
Is all of our products sold in bulk?
No, not at all. Most of our products are similar to what you will buy in your local super and hyper market. We do however encourage you to start buying in bulk. This will ensure that you are able to save even more. If our products are marked with “Bulk” it in most cases only means that we buy in bulk and request that you bring your own containers or bottles which we will then refill for you.
What is a distributor’s responsibilities?
A distributor has a number of responsibilities of which being the single contact between our clients and us is the main function. After the application for distributor have been completed we will forward the detailed responsibilities to the applicant.
