In Australia, there is a place that sells daily necessities at very affordable prices, and its name is Reject Shop. You shouldn't translate the English meaning literally; it doesn't mean returned goods; it's called Reject Shop. It's a place like Daiso in Australia, where you can buy daily necessities at very low prices. They sell not only daily necessities but also food, but not food for cooking—they sell processed foods. It used to be located in Bourke Street Mall in the city, but now it seems to be only on the outskirts. The closest point to the city is Port Melbourned, and most of it is located in the northwest

Secondly, as you know, there are three locations in Melbourne City alone: Daiso or Daiso Japan. If you're hesitant because of the 'No Japan' issue, you don't have to go, but the temptation of the low prices is quite significant. I don't know about the quality of daily necessities, but since they're so cheap, some people buy them even if the quality is a bit lower. And the prices are uniformly applied. Some are cheaper, some are more expensive, but basically, all products are uniformly charged $2.80.  This means you can buy most products for a blanket for 80 cents. A 12-color marker set costs $2.80, but a hammer in the section a bit further away costs about 2.80. However, processed foods don't have the $2.80 bulk price and are cheaper than regular grocery shops. I don't know what kind of business strategy this is (though it probably won't sell), but they only apply the bulk price to household goods and other general stores.  


Daiso, located at the corner of Bourke St and Swanstone St (the entrance) in the city center, is just as the name Daiso suggests, while the branches on Flinders St and QV are called Daiso Japan. I don't know why, but since you can buy daily necessities at affordable prices, you should go ahead. You don't have to buy anything; you can just look around.
