In Australia, cost of living varies from state to state. Comparatively, Adelaide is considered the low cost city among all the states. In this post we are going to see some Treasure Markets in Adelaide. Though there are many shops such as Coles, Woolworths to get good quality products, it is more expensive to buy for many households. To overwhelm this, we can buy the fruits and vegetables for low cost in markets such as Gepps Cross, Torrens Island.

One such market available in Adelaide is Gepps X Treasure Market, which is open every Sunday from 7am to 1pm. This is one of the biggest outdoor markets in Adelaide and even in South Australia.
