Australians love a bargain, especially in the context of the current cost-of-living crisis.

Did you know that your IEU membership gives you access to Union Shopper, a service designed to save you money on a range of everyday and big-ticket expenses?

Union Shopper remains a key benefit available to financial members of IEU-QNT and other unions throughout Australia.

Union Shopper is owned and operated by unions, not corporations, so it has workers’ best interests at heart.

As household budgets remain under pressure and people creatively search for ways to make their dollars go further, Union Shopper is here to alleviate financial pressure for union members.

What is Union Shopper?

Union Shopper gives IEU members access to a wide range of services to save on everything from groceries and petrol to holidays, homewares and even new car tyres.

Through the collective strength of our union and the buying power of Union Shopper, members can access genuine savings and special discounts not available to the general public.

In the current economic climate, every dollar saved counts, and even small weekly savings can add up to a big difference over the year.

What can I save on?

Union Shopper enables IEU members to shop smarter.

For example, a four-person household could easily save $2,500 per year with Union Shopper.

Examples of discounts available through the service include:

  • Groceries: Save up to 5% every time you shop at Woolworths, Coles or IGA.
  • Fuel: Cut costs with discounted Ampol and 7-Eleven fuel cards.
  • Home upgrades: Get “member-only” pricing at The Good Guys Commercial and JB Hi-Fi Business.
  • Car servicing: Save up to 12.5% on tyres and mechanical work through mycar.
  • Get away for less: Save on Hertz car hire, hotel bookings and local attractions.
  • Workwear: Up to 25% off selected gear at Hip Pocket Workwear.
