How To Bargain Hunt Melbourne: Day Two

Olivia Zan

So, you have two entire days to spend your hard earned cash in the fashion capital of Australia, where Melbourne flagship stores and quirky boutiques provide bags of bounty for the serious shopper.

Of course, where you find fashion, you’ll also find fabulous deals, but you need the know-how of a local bargain hunter to score the best discounts in town. Well, you’ve come to the right place, because… ahem… if you haven’t figured it out yet, the girls at MWS luuuuuuuurve to shop a bargain.

In our previous post, we created a discount itinerary of Melbourne hotspots to stretch your budget in one big day of shopping. We covered the iconic Queen Vic Market, the best lane ways and treasure troves, and of course, the popular underground haunts where the locals re-caffeinate and re-fuel.

Follow our Day 1 guide, enjoy a dreamy slumber of discount fashion delights, then get ready for Day 2 of discount shopping in Melbourne….

Melbourne Warehouse Shopping 101

First off, we’re heading to www.melbournewarehousesales.com.au to check out the best warehouse sales happening right now across Melbourne. Boasting connections with the biggest discount outlets in the state, MWS teams up with warehouse owners across the state to offer our subscribers exclusive access to their huge sales. Good quality clothing, manchester, jewellery, shoes, kitchenware, toys and more can be reduced up to 90% off RRP to make room for more perfectly good excess stock!

If you’re from out of town, you may need to splash out on a hire car or taxi, but this cost will be far outweighed by the bargains guaranteed at these red hot sales.

Next we’re off to a popular shopping hotspot on the city fringe, Smith Street in Collingwood and Fitzroy. The cool thing about Smith Street is it’s got vibe AND factory outlets. So, if you’re one to soak up Melbourne’s cool culture, Smith Street beats any outlet mall hands down! Best of all, it’s home to some of Melbourne’s best food!

Fancy a souvo to fuel your discount discoveries? We’ve voted Jimmy Grants the BEST souvlaki bar in Melbourne. Want chips in your tender chicken souvo? You got it.  Just make this day a ‘not so healthy day’ and go for the dimmies too, they’re outstanding!

Jimmy Grants – 113 Saint David Street, Fitzroy

But if you prefer a burger, check out Huxtaburger for a seriously good burger and salty goodness of old-school hot crinkle cut fries.

Huxtaburger – 106 Smith Street, Collingwood

Follow lunch with dessert at Gelato Messina. With a fierce pride that harks back to the way gelato was made 100 years back, the team at Messina create their sweet offerings from scratch – no colourings, flavourings, preservatives and pastes. The result is to die for. Heads up – check the specials board, they’re crazy good!

Gelato Messina – 237 Smith Street, Fitzroy

Alright, sorry. Back to shopping.
