Supermarkets in the CBD
Filed Under CBD, Food, Melbourne, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
One of the first things that freaked me out when I got to Melbourne was the price of food in those small conveninece stores. They dont stock enough to be cheap and I thought I would have to move home because everything is sooo expensive (My girlfriend on the other hand doens’t panic as quickly about these things and pointed out that we were looking for food at about 1am on a saturday after our flight arrived late….)
Luckily we found a few supermarkets in the city, all pretty close to the backpackers that is housing you.
Safeway. QUEEN VICTORIA VILLAGE QV Village,Cnr Lonsdale & Swanston St, Melbourne, VIC 3000. Phone: (03) 9663 5181 A nice generic supermarket.
Big W. QUEEN VICTORIA VILLAGE QV Village, Cnr Swanston & Lonsdale Streets MELBOURNE VIC 3000. Phone (03) 9650 7355 Situated in the same center as Safeway but catering more to people wanting hardware like TV`s VCR`s and other cheapish department store stuff.
Coles. Elizabeth Street - Flinders station end. A nice generic supermarket.
IGA Express. Flinders Street, between Elizabeth st and Degraves Street. A nice generic supermarket.
