'Misfits Market,' the online grocery retailer, has launched its own first-party private food label titled 'Odds & Ends.' The Odds & Ends products are simplistic, affordable, waste-reducing, and free of market volatility. Misfits Market sources many of its products directly from the farmer that produces them. By doing this, the company can pay a fair price that is separate from the volatile food market.
Misfits Market stated that its customers save "an average of $25 per order" when ordering from its private label, when compared to leading brands. On top of being more ethical and affordable than the norm, the Odds & Ends food line is packaged in sustainable, waste-reducing packaging. This means the brand is simultaneously reducing food waste and single-use plastics waste while passing savings on to customers.
