3 Best Ways to Save Money When Shopping at Parklea Markets
1) Do not be afraid to ask for a discount! All stores should give at least a discount of 10% to customers who ask for it. If you are buying large quantities this is even more reasonable to request. Take note of items that are not so sellable because you are sure to get a discount.
2) Where possible buy items that are made locally. Although products that are produced in Australia are normally more expensive they will last a lot longer. The same usually goes for food and produce grown in Australia and not imported from overseas.
3) Buy from the Farmers market because their produce does not go through a middleman (like a supermarket) so it is usually fresher.
