    You have not experienced Melbourne until you have gone shopping in Bridge Road.

    The shopping area is about 2km long and contains all different shops from Womens clothes and shoes, mens clothes and shoes, cafes, supermarkets, jewellery etc

    It is the location of many seconds and factory outlets of Witchery, Jackie E, Esprit, Portmans, Body Shop and the list goes on

    Best time to shop is after Christmas, although if you cant get a bargain here, you arent shopping with your eyes open

    What To Buy: Home goods,
    Clothes,
    Shoes,
    Accessories
    Food
    etc

    What To Pay: As much or as little as you want

    Various: Bargain shopping in Melbourne

    I will and will now always disagree about Bridge road being a great place to shop for bargains.

    10 years ago, this was definitely the case, but the outlet stores have paved the way for the normal shop, where you will very rarely find a great bargain, and will mostly find clothing at full price. The best shop for bargains there is the Bendon Factory outlet.

    Smith Street is better now days, you can find bargains at the DFO at Spencer street, but the one at Essendon is better.

    Vic markets also have some nice clothes, but shop around as many stalls have the same items, so you might be able to get a cheaper price somewhere
