Melbourne - Post Report Question and Answers
How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
It is very similar to Canada. Probably a bit more expensive than the US. You can get most anything in Melbourne, an abundance of shops and markets with specialty foods from all over the world. Things are open on Sunday (unlike Switzerland). - Jul 2018
Everything is available. Cost is comparable to the U.S. Just remember based on the exchange rate, you're getting a 20-25% discount. Australian produce is high quality and plentiful. Australia is very proud of its agriculture industry and for good reason. You will see a few imported products from California (my home state) such as dates. - Jul 2017
