I'm not too sure why 7-Eleven never…read morebranched out into Adelaide, but K-Food seems to be an appropriate response to Adelaide's 24 hour convenience needs. It seems like every few months more and more of these stores are popping up in new locations (albeit sometimes in very close proximity) - and I'm glad to see that business is thriving. What can be said about K-Food? They have everything you'd expect from a 24 hour convenience store, namely plenty of junk food, sodas, cigarettes, and personal necessities like pain-killers - a lot of things you shouldn't be having late at night! But the fact that they're there saves you from waiting until morning to get your late night fix, and that's a reality I'm pretty happy with. The thing I like particularly about this location is that the staff is always good to talk to - especially when the streets quiet down and the majority of the weekend warriors have called it a night. Not too long ago I came into K-Food late one night after playing a gig, and the store clerk and I spoke for almost 30 minutes about the Misfits and the evolution of punk music, as well as exchanging our band contacts. I've also had great conversations with a lot of the other store clerks here too, and it seems like the personnel at this shop is all-round good people. It's tough working the graveyard shift, especially with all the drunken hooligans making things even more difficult. So if you're feeling nice, go in and have a chat and make they're night a little more entertaining!

Oh K-Food! If it wasn't for you I may have passed out from dehydration when only a red bull will…read moredo. I may have suffered stink-breath (and the associated social rejection), if it wasn't for your chewy range waiting and ready to freshen my mouth in between brushes. I may have felt purposeless without your aisles to peruse in repeated circles, looking for that perfect munchie that will complete me. Of course I only visit you at 2am when these simple things seem like a matter of life and death. So for being open 24-7, I thankyou. In a nutshell - I heart my Kwik E Mart!

It's got your usual stuff like drinks, chips, mi goreng noodles, as well as the things you discover you need at the last minute like washing powder, stationery, and birthday candles. The main downside is the fact that they don't sell metro tickets, but they will change my notes into smaller coins so I can pay to do my laundry. It's a family owned business, and the owners are always friendly, and that's the real reason that I like popping in here.

Combine that with a consistently well stocked fruit and veg cabinet, fresh Kitchenhand Salads and Prepacked Gluten Free meals by Enzos this place is my go-to supermarket if I have had "one of those weekends," and haven't gotten a chance to go to Foodland. It's open late - even at the time of the evening when you're just starting to decide you might want a little bit of late night chocolate or gelati - this place will cater for you. I'm a big fan of their falafels which they get from Abdul's Kitchen but sometimes these are not as fresh as I would like. Even better is that this IGA has some of the friendliest staff around, particularly for check out chicks!

I preferred to do most of my shopping at the Central Markets, as it was vastly cheaper, but they aren't open every day. Which brings me to the big winning point of IGAs, including this one. Opening hours. Despite their slightly higher prices, they manage to compete by being open later at night on weekdays and weekends. Each IGA is slightly different, and this one is quite vastly different to the IGA at the other end of Hutt St. This one is on the up-market side, stocking a wide range of gourmet products. The City East deli stocks a range of cakes, pastas, salads, quiches and antipasto. In the fridges you can pick up pre-made meals from a range of local producers. I used to keep my eye on the discount fridge, where deli products went to die. The fruit and veg section isn't awful, but pricier than most. There is a rudimentary few aisles of basic home needs like toilet paper and light bulbs. Next to the regular tinned veg and pasta section is a little stand with fancier Italian products - nice sauces and egg pastas. In the icecream freezer you'll find the Maggie Beer range. Not a bad supermarket all round, and I'm sure it hits the target market of young professionals or wealthier types living in the city.

It's great that this store exists. The only issue I have is that when a popular item is sold out…read moreit can be weeks before it returns. As a customer it drives me elsewhere in search of regular supplies. I understand there have been supply chain problems lately, but why haven't I been able to get a tube of toothpaste or a painkiller for 3 weeks when I can get it elsewhere anytime? Or a pack of muffins? Or kitten food? etc, etc If they fix their stock management situation they might find an increased regularity of customers. With the Coles up the road now closed, a lot of potential trade is going begging for lack of regularly available product.

Ok I was dehydrated at the time on a hot summers day but I do have proof of its existence as I took a photo! Previously it was a K Food Express 24/7 supermarket and is now under new management, think they'd better do something about showing they exist online though! It was definitely handy being open as it is still a 24/7 store, as I was so thirsty and on New Years Day nothing much was open. There's an ATM inside, lots of posters decorating the front entry advertising bands, shows, etc which added a splash of colour and hipness. It's basically a mini mart where you'd only go for emergency supplies much like at a petrol station, but also great for any new visitors to the city to get supplies when staying in the nearby motels.

But one day I had only $4 in my wallet, had drunk 3 coffees and was feeling rebellious as well as far too over caffeinated for another tea or coffee. So in I went and took a punt on a pear, celery and carrot juice. When you're paying $4 for a large juice and $5 for a jumbo SuperSize Me size the juice tastes like holy water. It was fresh, a little gritty and would not be my first choice of juice joints but on a budget it did the job. There is a limited number of veg to choose from but for fresh apple or OJ this place is great. The convenience part of the store is also surprisingly cheap too.
