TIMES might be tough for pop princess Kylie Minogue, who stocked up on clothes at a Salvation Army store in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.
The style queen took recession dressing to new levels after spending less than $40 on two dresses, a hat and skirt in Camberwell.
Store manager Natasha Scott said the songstress was shopping with a girlfriend and trying her best to hide from the limelight.
"She was hiding under a hat and had the trademark big sunglasses on, but she still looked great," Scott said.
"She looked happy as she browsed around before buying a couple of summery dresses, a trendy little hat with a peak and a skirt. All up, she spent under $40."
It is not the first time Minogue has been seen shopping on the cheap in Melbourne.
In early 2006, the pop star was seen at vintage clothing store Shag on Brunswick St.
The diminutive singer was so thrifty she put some inexpensive retro items on hold before heading back to buy them later in the week.
The pop star has been holidaying around Australia with current squeeze Spanish model Andres Velencoso and spending time at her parents' Canterbury pad since arriving Down Under to attend the Sound Relief bushfire appeal concert last month.
