BANKSTOWN CLOTHING WAREHOUSE (BCW)

Genuine bargains alert! You know you’re getting a good deal when current-season fashion sells for below department store prices and clearance lines sell for up to 70 per cent of rrp all year round. That’s how it is every day at Bankstown Clothing Warehouse. Sassy Sydney labels Blue Juice and Cooper Street can be found here at much less than normal prices, along with other fun brands Mermaid Sister, Lovers and Out with Evie. Prices are super-low thanks to the fact BCW purchases clearance stock in bulk and passes on its saving to us. The range of fashion covers work, casual and eveningwear, with skirts from $35, work pants from $10 and fully lined business jackets (available in a variety of fabrics) priced from $20. Sizes are from 6 to 26. Gorgeous frocks — for the school formal, race day or night out — are from $20. We also spotted black wool-blend coats for just $30 and work suits from $60. If you spend more than $100 in one transaction, BCW will let you choose something valued at $20 as a free gift — just mention Bargain Shoppers Guide to Sydney!
