Carlton - Franklins and Woolworth's found in Lygon Street. (Woollies are a bit expensive but handy for a quick shop.)
Brunswick - Top end of Royal Parade. Just look for the McDonalds and Red Rooster outlets on the street and go into the arcade. Trams go there.
Moonee Ponds - Coles Supermarket. Trams go there too.
