Great supermarket with a good range and very affordable prices. Everything seems fresh and the…read morestore is well maintained. Furthermore, the free coffee is a great bonus for shopping. I don't do my weekly shopping here however I do like Foodland when I go there as it takes a very different approach from the other big chains (Foodland is also independent and South Australian owned).

So yes, Foodland is a chain store but they are independent franchises so they differ a little more…read morethan say Coles might. This one is a quite large store and does have a LOT of great variety. They have some amazing bakery items that I can't get elsewhere nearby. They also have great range stocked in most items. Pricewise is on par with the other big retailers with some good specials thrown in to attract you. This one is very community orientated and they seem to have a lot of competitions and support a lot of local places - which is great. In addition (not that I have ever used it but still think it's great) they have a "short stop" area inside the store where you can make yourself a coffee and sit down and read a paper for a bit. This is a fantastic idea for the elderley and they seem to contain most "try before you buy" and sample type offers to that area, which makes it easier to shop around the rest of the store.

Always great value and staffed by locals. I especially like that they stock a lot of goods made in…read moreand around Adelaide.

This Foodland really should be 3 1/2 stars rather than 4 - it's looking a bit tired and dated, and…read morereally needs a facelift! But we always support Foodland rather than the other big-name 'evil' supermarket that is also in the Hallett Cove Shopping Centre complex - it supports local growers and products, and is a far more ethical choice. As far as Foodlands go, this one is pretty big - it has a good selection of fresh fruit and veg (much better than it's competitor!), and a fair selection of gourmet local options. Not as gourmet as some of the renovated Foodlands (like Brighton), but hopefully that will be changing in the near future. Another plus is that the carpark in this shopping centre is huge - you are always likely to get a good park so you don't have to carry your groceries too far!

If you live down South you will know there's not many Asian grocery stores around. This one is…read moresituated in the same row of shops as Priceline Pharmacy on Main South Road. While they may not have a huge selection, they have the essentials. I like this place for the variety of spices they sell, I can always find things I may not get in supermarkets when it comes to Malaysian and Indian cooking. You can also buy fresh Asian greens here. On the front of the shop you will find their poultry section. They only sell chicken meat here, I've never had bad chicken. You can buy marinated chicken steaks too. On the other side of the display fridge you will find some Malaysian delicacies. Try their Satay Sauce and Curry Puffs. We buy their curry puffs everytime we pass by. The owner is originally from Malaysia. He is very friendly and always up for a chat!

Located inside Hallett Cove Shopping Centre, this greengrocer not only sells fruit and veg, but it…read morealso sells fresh flowers, and has a juice/smoothie bar (named Get Juice) which I think is a great idea. I've bought fruit and veg from here a few times and haven't had any bad experiences, and the staff seem pleasant (but busy at times). The staff includes young girls (from what I saw) and some senior staff. The flowers are bright and good quality. I bought some from here for a friend for her birthday and she told me they still looked good after having them for a week. I have also purchased a juice from here. It was $7 for a large and there were lots of flavours to choose from. I chose the strawberry flavour and watched the girls make it with fresh fruit. Yummy!!

This is my fave greengrocer, it's so clean, well-stocked, and has high quality produce. I also find…read morethe prices to be very reasonable compared to stores closer to the city. The range is huge on the fresh fruit and veggies side and there's a good gourmet section, as well as a fresh flower range to boot. The best bit is the Get Juice bar where beverages of nutritional goodness will be whipped up before your eyes and forever change your views on being a 'health-nut'. In a nutshell - you are what you eat remember!
