want2beaussie Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 The UK is so cheap for food clothes beauty products and medication. If you have been living is oz for a while this may be a surprise.You can go to places like LIDAL, ASDA and Tescos and buy everything you need for cheap, from clothes to garden furniture to TVs. Most of your daily needs such as crisps, milk, 1l coke are ONE POUND!! the superstores are always at war and although a lot of their deals are cons...it is way cheaper than oz. Im moving to oz in July and I'm in the process of packing and organising things to send over to oz. we are expecting a baby and so I have been comparing prices on things and the majority of things i have bought here. for example the baby monitor we have 100 pounds in oz 357 dollars. nurofen for babies 3pound same bottle in coles is 17dollars. the only things we are buying in oz are the pram and cot just because the prices are so similar. I have NO IDEA why the ozzies are ripped off so badly. people have said its because of the distance and things needing to be exported but as most things are made in china....surely the UK is further. people can say you earn more but a bottle of nurofen should not be 3 times the price and the weekly shop should not be so expensive. Even sun tan lotion is cheaper in the UK and we hardly ever get to use it. Saying that its just something I will have to get used to and accept. a 2l bottle of coke here is currently $3 in coles therefore cheaper than the 1l in UK!!! 2l of milk in coles is $2, the same as at home! Yeh you can't buy everything in the same shop i.e clothes, garden furniture, TV's - but walk a few meters away in most shopping centres and there will be a Target full of clothes and TVS, or a Kmart/Big W, Bunnings for your garden gear - the only comparison here is that UK is more convenient because everything is in the 1 shop. Electronics I actually find cheaper example Ipad Mini 16GB Curry's = 199GBP Goodguys = 268GBP (134GBP) With the clothes; they don't have the cheap primarks etc here, and I do admit that more often than not I order my clothes online, but I bought a pair of jeans and a top here the other way $60 for the jeans, $40 for the top so really that's not too badly priced in comparison to a similar store at home. Anyway, as you say - if you're not happy to earn the extra $$ & pay the extra $$ on food etc probably best not to come. Good luck with your move & with the baby.

So a bottle of cokes cheaper and milks the same price so that talks for an entire bill....? With the exception of Melbourne and Sydney australia has the worst clothes I have seen, crap quality dreadful style... The shops are full of crap, so for you to say there's no cheap primark like stores your walking around with your eyes closed. Australian clothes look cheap and wash up dreadful. ..and then you go on about buying jeans for 60 bucks....? Make up yourmind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
want2beaussie Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I never suggested that talks for the entire bills - I was referring back to items mentioned by a previous poster. I didn't talk about jeans for $40?? I mentioned a top for $40?? Have you got your eyes closed? I am not here to have an argument I was simply referring to items mentioned - if you hate everything that much...go home!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parley Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You do talk a lot of rubbish Paul. You can buy whatever sort of clothes you want in Australia. From cheap and cheerful to expensive and stylish and everything in between. And it is worldwide that the larger bottles of soft drink are cheaper than the smaller. I think it is usually due to the small size being in the fridge and ready to drink cold so you are paying for the power. But there may be more to it.

I was back in the UK last November and the only thing I found noticeably cheaper was beer in pubs. Buy beer and wine here in the bottleshop and beers about the same price and wine is cheaper. Spirits might be more here but I don't drink them often enough to worry about it. There are cheap clothes and everything else in places like Big W, K-mart, Target. Probably same cheap stuff that you can get in the UK that last a few washes and then you throw it away and get some more. Nurofen?? Just get the aussie brand equivalent, it will do the same.

Who's bothered about style? If you want stylish and cheap have a browse round Salvo's. Bought my last pair of levi's there for $15. What do you want?

Cymru am Adelaide Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Its nurofen for babies I'm not sure if theres an ozzie own brand or how much it is.??? but if there is then good! I understand there will be products that will be the same price and that you can shop at target for clothes but call me a snob but target isn't the type of place i would buy my clothes its the of the UK's Matalan/Primark its ok for baby grows and knickers but i wouldn't buy a nice dress for a night out or high quality shoes in target. i just think that for a full shop it will be cheaper in the UK. and i think theres a bigger choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
