There are 3 supermarkets located in the heart of Wollongong itself,

• Woolworths located at the corener of Burelli and Kembla Street,
• ALDI located at 25 Stewart Street and
• Franklins located in the crown street mall itself.

If you are on a tight budget, it often pays to plan and look at the mailers from the supermarkets to find out what is on sale and compare prices before heading out to do your shopping. Of the 3 supermarkets, ALDI tends to sell goods at a lower price however they have a narrower range of products.

If you are an Asian student, there are 4 asian grocery stores scattered around the city. All of the asian stores are located near the Central Business District usually along Keira Street and the prices at the stores are usually much lower than the supermarkets if you were buying asian sauces and foodstuffs etc.

The main thing to take note of when you do shopping is always to buy asian food stuffs from an asian grocery store and vice versa.
