that comparison.
Generally speaking, the quality of the goods between Discovery and the markets is very different.
I gave up buying "cheap stuff" long ago, and now concentrate on buying better quality at what I consider to be a good price (I.E. buy a Citizen watch genuine for $110 when it's $300 in Aus......forget the beach sellers at $10)
I do need the odd Bintang tee shirt for occasional formal wear in Perth, but this is a quick "take it or leave it" market walk through.
Discovery is always busy, and so are the markets, so everyone has a different point of view.
Discovery does have good buys, and in 6 months time what you bought there may be giving better value than that piece of printed clothing that you bought at the market.
It's as much about value as cost.
