Steve Brown Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I'm considering studying in Perth for a year but some people say that it's really expensive to live there. In particular, one person I'd spoken to said that food was really expensive. As someone on a student budget, I wondered whether I'd be able to survive for the two semesters needed to complete the course. I know that there's no such thing as a 'typical' grocery shop, but could someone give me a ball-park figure (AUD) for a week's grocery shopping for one? Thanks.

fifi69 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Nobody really can give you a ball park figure....we don't know what you like to eat!! You may be vegetarian, allergic to certain things? Why not go onto Coles and woolworths websites and do a dummy shop? remembering though, that fruit n veg is more expensive in season, deals change on a Wednesday, and you can pick up good bargains at the end of the day (or as I find with woollies about 10am too lol.) Depending on where you will be living, you may also have a spud shed nearby, plus farmers markets. It all makes a difference if you can shop around for deals, or if your just looking to buy all in one shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 have a look at Coles and Woolworths on line - it will give you an idea of grocery prices, there's also places like the spud shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
