This is a pretty damn bit Woolies, a chain known for big shops. It's nicely set out, there's…read moreplenty of space in the aisles - you won't be stuck if two people with trolleys are having a chat while you're trying to get down the other end. The staff are pretty nice. I hadn't really spent much time in the area, but after having a quick chat with the checkout chick while she was swiping all my groceries I had a pretty good list of decent places to go and eat in the area.

First, I have to say that if you're looking for a Woolies with a bottle shop, then don't go here…read more This Woolies is well set out, with all the usual supermarket goodies you'd expect in a Woolworths supermarket. It never seems that busy, which is great if you're in a rush. They have a good range of specialty products too, like proper mozzerella cheese. The fresh food section is nice and big, and all the produce looks fresh and vibrant. My only issue is no bottle shop! I don't drink that often, but it's so much easier to be able to duck into the bottle shop after I finish shopping for my groceries if I need to!

Last month had the pleasure of meeting a lady by the name of Kyle, at the store in Glenelg. After…read moreshe proceeded to be of absolutely no help, she belittled me in front of 20 customers, told me how she had been working there for 12 years and how I was abusive. All the while doing nothing to solve my issue with the automated check out. Then after I returned to the store (as I was a bit short to pay the due amount) I was greeted by her at the customer service desk, she tried to ram the trolley into my leg. She missed the first time but got me the second. Coles, while apologetic, have really done nothing in the way of getting me to return to the store. Instead of getting the lady to apologize they offered me a $20 then $100 voucher to make it go away. The lady abused and assaulted me in the store and I cannot even get her last name to get a restraining order against her. Now me and my family do not go to this store and never will again. The most disgusting customer service I have ever come across.

This is one of my regular supermarkets and has recently undergone a massive refurbishment, not only…read moreinside but outside and the car park as well. Another thing I noticed with the new changes is that they now have a man whose sole purpose is to hand you a basket on the way in (it is freakily starting to remind me of China where I saw someone whose sole job was to help trolleys off escalators). Anyway it is a nice feeling to be welcomed and handed a basket. The other change I like is in the fresh food section. The smallgoods and seafood areas have lovely coloured tiles behind them that, at least, make you feel like you are in a real market. The produce is beautifully displayed on ice to try and make you feel like it is fresh but they don't fool me. I only go here for such foods if I can't make it anywhere else. I personally don't like buying any fresh produce from supermarkets. Anyway it fulfils a need. The supermarket, in general, is well laid out and airy so at least you don't feel claustrophobic. It has a good selection of just about everything but in recent times I have become aware of home brands taking over all the shelves so it is hard to find the real brands. The other interesting thing about this supermarket is that in summer there are often lots of tourists from overseas doing their grocery shopping which is always entertaining.

15/12/2011 Photos First to Review I carried a green…read morerecycling bag for two boxes of tissues. No really. I did. (My brother spent less than $10.) There isn't that much in Woolworths that we need, but it still makes us happy to pay a quick visit every once in a while after work. Everything you need in a grocery store is here. I just wish it was as big as the Wal-Mart I saw in Texas. Depending on what you need, you can spend anywhere from $10 to $120 as you exit the store. By the way, I scored a brand new computer desk lamp for only $19.95!! Where else can you buy such a thing for a low price? That's half the price of the lamps that rip you off at other places! I needed one desperately for my long hours of yelping in front of the computer because the old lamp that served me for 15+ years finally ran out of globe life. If you hunt properly, you can actually find some great grabs for less than $5! They're always doing low-price promotions here! I love it! I don't usually carry much cash, but that's okay! There are plenty of those swiping machines for you to use now, when you've collected all your items. Yay! God bless the staff in green for helping everyone out when they're stuck on the swiping machines, as we walk out. God bless this new invention for supermarkets! I wonder if any other non-grocery stores will take this concept on? So I walked out with new boxes of tissues for my hayfever in less than 5 minutes. In and out. If only I had more cash for groceries, I'd actually love this store because they are the number one most profitable supermarket business in Adelaide, and none of their competitors come close to the amount of profits "Woolies" make every year. And I must commend the staff in their green uniform, thank you for the friendly chat when I needed to decide which orange juice to buy, and the difference between the Aussie juices and the imported juices. However, this depends where you are exactly. If you're shopping on the upper level (there are only two levels), then you have a very slim chance of being helped in the aisles (no-one's there!), and that's not right because that's where customers need the most help = finding things! Nevertheless, I ALWAYS find myself drifting back and forth inside here everytime I'm in Rundle Mall. I confess, I'm a certified Woolworths regular.

This Foodland is one of three that are embracing organic produce, wider range of locally sourced produce and less demanding impulse buys. I will generally source most of my shopping from farmers markets and local butchers but for my main shop for everything I will come here to get all those other daily needs. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to support a local business but I do have a tendency to pat myself on the back regularly :)

Food shopping is not high up on everyone's list of fun things to do (it's on mine, but them I'm a…read morelittle bit quirky). So, to hear so many people rave about Foodland means they must be doing something right. Friends that live in Norwood think they have the best Foodland. Same with those living in Mitcham. I'm a huge fan of my local at Frewville and this is my review, so I can say wholeheartedly, I think Frewville tops them all! I've been shopping here for six years and drop in two to three times a week. It had a major renovation in 2011 which has turned it from a daggy site with a great selection of produce, to a sensational, modern site with an array of quality products and a strong focus on local producers. Foodland are big supporters of South Australian products and offer a great range. The foodies I know will often shop here if they can't make it to Grote Street (or can't face the parking hassles) and I know why. I've picked up stuff here that I've never seen in a Woollies or Coles, such as Persian fairy floss or yiros meat in the freezer section. There's even an entire corner at the entrance of the store dedicated to fine foods. The small goods and cheeses available rival the Central Markets (big call, I know, but I stand by it) and there is a dedicated organic fruit and vege stand at the entrance. The staff always have a great attitude and are of all ages and give the impression they genuinely enjoy their job. With the renovation they've introduced a mini cafe at the entrance that offers espresso coffee, lunch items (rolls, wraps etc) and biscuits and cakes. There are a few tables near the checkouts and despite their odd position, there is almost always someone sitting at one of them sipping a coffee or having a bite to eat as I leave. On the odd occasion when a special is too good to forgo, I'll slip over to the nearby Woollies at Arkaba, but generally, you'll find me here, supporting a local company who supports local small business.
