Phil & Vikki Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yesterday we went to the market at the top end of George Street – Paddy’s Market. It was very busy but wow, what a place to go for cheaper fruit and veg. We got some bananas there at $1.50 per kilo. We should of looked around a bit more and not gone for the first ones that we seen as further inside the market they were selling them at $1 per kilo. In saying that, it is still so much better than going to Coles or Woolworths and buying them for $5 - $6 per kilo. That is what we found for most of the things there, there was good savings to be had and the quality was good too, which is always a bonus. Finding this will help bring our weekly shopping bill down a nice amount. When in there we did see the fish and sausages being sold in one little section, but there was not any meat sellers there, or none that we could see. Does anyone know of any meat sellers/markets in Sydney that they would recommend? If we could find meat, we would really be able to cut the shopping bill down to a nice manageable amount for the four of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicheleW Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sounds like you have found a good market, will definitely help with the weekly shopping bill. :smile: Not based in Sydney so no idea about butchers, but I hope someone comes along soon that can help out.

Guest shusselmann Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi, I keep meaning to check out South Sydney markets for the same reason. If I get there soon I'll let you know! An Aussie friend told me that buying in bulk and getting meat delivered is the most cost effective way of stocking up. We don't have a very big enough freezer but if you do, it might be worth looking at home delivery options. All the best, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil & Vikki Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi there, thanks for that, we went to the market again today and got some good bargains.
