Discount Shopping Gold Coast Guide

Here is a guide to discount shopping on the Gold Coast.  There are some great bargains to be had if you know where to go.  

The top pick for discount shopping is Gold Coast icon Harbour Town. Everything in the one spot! Even a non-shopper, like me, enjoys Harbour Town!

Other shopping options in the Gold Coast:

Gold Coast Discount Shopping Tours

There used to be a Discount Shopping Gold Coast tour, I have tried to find them, but they appear to no longer do this service.  If you are after a discount shopping tour - your best bet is to get yourself to Harbour Town!

One of the best ways to get to Harbour Town for a shopping tour is to use Con-x-ion.  Con-x-ion have a Harbour Town drop off and pick up service that can be easily booked.  They will pick you up from your accommodation.  If you have a Roo Pass, Harbour Town can be included as one of the transfers.  

Harbour Town The Discount Shopping Gold Coast Icon

Harbour Town is where everyone thinks of discount shopping Gold Coast style!  

It is undoubtedly a great place for brand name factory outlet and discount shopping.  I personally find it irritating for general stuff!  You have to either know what you want and go for it, or else be prepared to browse.

You can of course spend an entire day browsing here - there are over 129 National and International outlet stores to choose from!

When you get bored you could catch a movie at the Reading Cinemas 14 screen Cinemaplex - there's bound to be something you would want to watch!

There's a large Bunnings Warehouse store - just in case you feel in the need for something DIY!

There are also more than 20 alfresco restaurants and cafes for some great food treats.  The discount fruit barn is great for fruit and vegie bargains and some other great food treats.  The Woolworths was refurbished in 2008 and was one of the first stores with the new do it yourself check outs!  It's worth going in just to use one of those!

Be my guest at Harbour Town with a discount shopping Gold Coast special offer to help you enjoy and save on your day of shopping at Harbour Town.

Other Gold Coast Factory Outlets and Clearance Stores

Trade Secret

Located in the Brickworks Centre in Southport this is a little gem.  They have great clothing and other bargains.  Whenever I go in there I am always blown away by what they have and the prices.  

Trade Secret is a big brand name outlet where you can save heaps of money.  Their slogan is "Big brands, cheeky prices!" - and I agree!  They say you can save up to 60% off RRP.

Southport


I don't like tacky outlet stores with sorry looking merchandise.  And this store is not at all tacky - it is just like your everyday store - except the prices are very low.  I know many rather well heeled locals who go in here!

They sell:
  • Homewares
  • Kids
  • Ladies Fashion Brands
  • Lingerie
  • Mens
  • Surf brands
  • Youth Fashion
Trade Secret at Southport is open 7 days a week.  Monday to Fridays 9am to 5.30pm with late night trading Thursday till 8pm.  Saturdays 8.30am to 5pm. Sundays and Public Holidays 10am till 4.30pm.

And you don't have to just bring cash - they accept most major credit cards!

The location is great because when you have picked up your bargains you can head to the opposite end of the carpark and Ferry Road markets - where let me assure you there is nothing discount!  But great food, coffees, juices and ice creams plus gourmet foods.

Billabong Factory Outlet 

All your Billabong stuff - great prices and bargains to be had.
