Where to buy cheap groceries in Canberra?

Tuesday Apr 13, 2010

I’m 23 and I live by myself. I spend around $60 a week on grocery (mostly on fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, some can food and some healthy snacks from Asian supermarket). I know some people who spend only $30 to $40 a week, so I think I should set a weekly budget on $40 I don’t know if it is possible, as I don’t buy home brand products.

Where to buy fresh food for a lower price?

You often get cheaper fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish at the markets. Try Belconnen or Fyshwick Markets. If you buy fresh produce, rather than pre-packaged or convenience foods, you’ll save a lot of money. But I find that a lot of grocery money actually goes on cleaning products and personal care items, so that’s an area you might want to cut down on.

    Try the farmers market at Exhibition Park which is on every sunday or like said before try Fyshwick or Bellcollen fresh food markets. This is good for meat, fruit andvegetabless.

    For cheap groceries try Aldi. They are the cheapest in canberra, but they don’t always stock the same food.

    Try HUB a major asian supermarket instead of the smaller ones for better prices.
