This part of Carlton could really do with a few more options when it comes to supermarkets and…read moregrocery shopping in general. However, I'm sure I wouldn't be complaining if the Lygon Court Woolworths was awesome. If only. The real problem here is the sub par quality of the fruit and vegies. The produce is sad, overpriced and very uninspiring. In fact, it's best to go out of your way to avoid buying them here. I've spent far too long searching through discoloured capsicums and limp zucchinis in order to find something even remotely edible. Yuck. This Woolworths is saved from receiving a lowly two stars due to the excessive amounts of other stock on offer and the fantastically late opening hours. Just stay away from the fruit and vegies.

Woolworths is my local supermarket and there isn't really much to say…read more It's your typical food grocer that has a range of items, the have fresh fruit and vegetables but are a tad on the expensive side (I get mine from the markets over the weekend). There's self serve checkout which means you'll be in and out as soon as you can find your items and pay for them. Probably one of the cooler facts about this Woolies is that there is a DVD rental vending machine as you exit so for a few bucks you can rent a flick from the giant green vending machine!

It's a bit of a battle for Safeway and Coles right across the road from each other on Carlisle St…read morein Balaclava. Sadly, I think this Safeway comes off second best, as it just doesn't have that much to offer. Except cheeses! They have a really good section for cheese where I love to rustle through it to find the quick sale deals! The other decent part is its deli where it is probably a little bit better than the Coles across the road however as a whole they don't have as much good meats, bread or fruit and vegetables.

The double shop fronted grocery store sells your usual, run-of-the-mill staple foods and fresh fruit and vegetables, plus a few Asian goodies like sauces and noodles. The last time I popped in, such was my good timing, that I scored a huge, fresh saucer-shaped Turkish bread for only $2.50 - half price. So sizeable was the wheaty treat that it took my man and I a good few days and several homemade dips to finish it off. Hard work, but someone has to do it. Time your visit well and you too can be a breadwinner like me.

But Fruits on Coventry is the one I frequent the most, so I'm giving it my top prize. It's busy here, which means I know things are turning over quickly. Everything is super fresh and in addition to the usual suspects, I love the exotic fruits, special herbs, "trendy" things like edible flowers and micro herbs and purple carrots. The service is always efficient and friendly. While shopping around the other stalls may help me save a few dollars overall, this place has everything and knowing I get terrific quality and good service I generally don't bother and just make this my one stop shop for roughage.

I understand the bias. How can I not be a fan of a supermarket I live close to?!…read more Well tough titties I'm rating this place 4 stars anyway! TIP: ~ Like most (if not all) Woolworths, a lot of meat would be in the "special" section, of specially marked down for meat that needs to be used soon. You can grab some very good deals here. Just the other day I got 4 huge steaks for 10 dollars total. Somebody pinch me! Ambiance: Despite the busy atmosphere of being a grocery store on Victoria Street, the staff here do a top job of keeping this place clean and being efficient enough on the registers to get rid of large queues. The result? I never feel particularly crowded and hectic at this place, despite the barrage of customers. Contrast to say, a busy Coles, this Woolworths is a winner! Customer Service: So far, all the staff have been really nice and efficient as well. As I mentioned above, they do a great job with the queues. Selection: Overall, this Woolworths is pretty large so they have a great selection of items. Like I said, I do mainly all my shopping here and it's never let me down. --- The only thing I do have to say is that even though Woolworths does have an "Asian" section, I recommend you heading over to Minh Phat next door - for Asian goods, they do a lot better job with the prices.

What distinguishes this particular stall from all the others, is that it stocks a really interesting variety of imported cakes and biscuits and often manages to get it's hands (and in turn, I get my grubby paws) on some great gluten free food. I don't know how they do it. Plus it's a cheap place for toiletries and lollies yadda yadda. Gluten free. Get on it.

Surprisingly they have quite a few name brand items available here, like Nudie, Cadbury, Lynx and…read moreColgate, which are quite cheap, as well as many imported products. I can recommend their pastas, pickles (especially the artichoke if they have any stock available) and sauces. They also have a very nice range of biscotti and other Italian biscuits and cakes, which make pretty good gifts or afternoon treats. Every now and then they'll receive special items which aren't usually available, like Akins bars or Maxibons. These will be heavily discounted, and once they're gone, they're gone. So stock up.

If only all Coles were like this.
