Re: What Is 'Cheap' In Australia Compared To The UK?

Re: What Is 'Cheap' In Australia Compared To The UK?

I'm not sure it's all that expensive for most items but bread and cheese are out of this world, most noticeably if you like good bread. When you buy veg it goes off much quicker when you get it home...

Re: What Is 'Cheap' In Australia Compared To The UK?
