What is a good area to live in Perth? Need a cheap place to buy food, clothing, etc to get started.

There is no cheap place to buy food or clothing in Perth compared to NZ. Food is very expensive here.. The cheapest supermarket is Coles and it's still more expensive than PaK n Save in NZ. In terms of living, it's cheaper to live in the outer suburbs, but the transportation cost makes up for it.

groceries are heaps cheaper in perth! farmer jacks supermarket is a great place for bargins. markets have cheap fruit and veges
