    Groceries & Shopping

    In Australia, the supermarket scene is dominated by the 'big two'—Woolworths (the green one) and Coles (the red one)—with German discounter Aldi gaining ground as the budget-friendly alternative. For Korean groceries, head to the Korean hubs in Eastwood or Strathfield, while Costco is your best bet for buying in bulk.

    Tips

    01

    Check the Woolworths and Coles apps every Wednesday for new catalogues.

    02

    Aldi is cheap thanks to their private labels — remember to bring your own shopping bags.

    03

    Get your Korean groceries at H-Mart Eastwood or Han Nam Mart Strathfield.

    04

    Costco Gold Star membership is $65 a year — you'll easily make that back by bulk-buying meat, seafood, and laundry detergent.

    05

    For fresh produce, I also highly recommend the Carriageworks Farmers Market on Saturdays.
