Australian shoppers lose their minds over little-known pop-up with ‘unbelievable’ bargains on ‘everything you can think of’
Australians have discovered an unlikely pop-up store offering customers ‘incredible’ deals on clothing, homewares, food and electronics.
The temporary Vinnies locations have been set up around Victoria to help shoppers weather the cost of living crisis plaguing the country.
Vinnies, or the St. Vincent de Paul Society, is a charity that provides support and assistance to those in need.
Most items are brand new stock donated by business partners, including Christmas decorations.
Popular bargains include $10 large jars of Biscoff, $2 bags of Red Rock Deli chips and discounted Boston Bros. shoes.
Shoppers can find men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, top brand shoes and even electrical appliances at Vinnies’ pop-up locations.
Many have purchased vacuum cleaners, air fryers, Adidas shoes, printers and kitchen knives from previous pop-up stores.
There is currently a location in Ascot Vale that is open until November 3, and another in Boronia that will remain open until Christmas – or until stock runs out.
