  Looking for cheapest groceries around Parkville…

  Hi,

  I am a student and I usually shop groceries in local IGA. I don’t think I can continue shopping from there. I need to either short cut my buying list or just find a cheaper local.

  Would highly appreciate for some tips here.

  I would stay away from known brands unless I need something urgent. Otherwise always prefer going to asian stores. probably take tram to sydney road brunswick. you will be amazed how cheap groceries become.

  try it out 😉
