I come to this Foodland about once a week. The best thing about it is it has a wide selection of…read morecontinental items, such as traditional pastas, panini etc. Also, the bakery items are the freshest I've tried from pretty much anywhere. Everytime I'm here I get a cheese and bacon roll, and it's always softy-soft, and seems to have been freshly baked that morning. I'm not the only one who thinks so as last time I was here at 11am, and lucky to get the last one. The staff are also very friendly (almost a little too friendly, they might just chew your ear off yapping). In a nutshell - support the non-conglomerates!

Helpful staff. Excellent product range. Good trading hours…read more Easy parking. Good quality fresh meat and fish.

Like any asian grocery there is a variety of smells that come to your senses, whether they be good,…read moreor bad. There is a huge variety of Asian ingredients, frozen and packaged meals, crockery, beverages, and cooking utensils. It is worth making the 5 minute trip out of the city, as this place is huge, and very rarely gets crowded inside. If you are after food ready to eat, they also serve steamed dumplings at the register on the way out.

Foodland is one of those supermarkets that have certain products that not all other supermarkets…read morehave. That's probably why a lot of people do certain shopping at different supermarkets. I'm a bit like that too. You can only buy this from Woolworths, but something else is at Coles and another thing is at Foodland. It makes shopping a bit of an effort, doesn't it? This Foodland is fairly large, and definitely my favourite of the franchise. The isles are big enough to walk around in comfortably, there's a wide variety of fresh produce and the deli section is pretty sweet. At the end of the day it's all about preference isn't it? Some people shop at all supermarkets for different foods, or they stick to one.

So, most of you by now I am sure have heard about Campbells Cash & Carry. It has been around for a…read morevery long time offering wholesale and bulk stock for businesses. I have been shopping there for years for my work in hospitality and event management. But, I am sure that most of you have not been able to shop here because you don't have a ABN to get a membership. Not any longer! I found out recently that if you have an RAA membership or work for a non-profit organisation such as a school, sporting or a social club you can apply. All you need to is download the application and show your cards or documentation. Check out their website for more details. Now, what will you find in this gigantic warehouse? Well, it is like a giant supermarket really. You will find everything you need like toiletries, pasta, canned tuna, spices, soft drinks, etc. You can buy items singly or in bulk. What is the price difference you ask? Well, to save money you want to buy in bulk, that is where to true savings are. But, if you want single items you still have a bit in comparison to a normal supermarket. So, let's just say you have a party coming up and you need paper plates, cups, forks, party pies, lollies, chips, etc. You can buy all those items and more really well priced here. This is my one stop party shop. Just yesterday I needed a bunch of popcorn kernels and paper bags for an event. I really need to buy bulk items to feed a lot of people. I purchased 500 paper bags for $8 and 12 bags of 375g popcorn kernels for $10. That is pretty good! It might surprise you to know that you can purchase good quality fresh meat and vegetables here as well. Great place to shop for Christmas dinner to save some money. So, if you meet the criteria to get a membership it is worth checking out if you have a big party coming up! Or if you like buying in bulk to save money.

This one time I was making a really giant sculpture out of grey PVC duct tape. I had bought ALL the…read moreduct tape at my local cheap stores. Bunnings was ridiculously overpriced. What I really needed was a lot of really, really cheap tape. Cheap stores were selling rolls at $2.50 p/unit. Campbell's Cash and Carry hit back at $1 p/unit. Right on. If you consume any item in bulk, this is the place to come. I'm talking Red Bull, Extra Chewing Gum, Neapolitan Icecream, toilet paper, condoms, Skittles, whatever. The lolly aisle alone is bigger than my local Foodland. Don't lose your shit when you get in there, stay calm. Get your bearings. Get to know the aisles - cruise for bargains before committing. Don't go crazy, you don't need a four litre bottle of chocolate syrup. But the more you buy, the cheaper the unit price. To get cheaper bargains, you need an ABN. No sweat, anyone can get one - sort yourself out online.

I love woolworths! Woolworths is my go-to suoermarket when in Australia...no other! The store is…read moreclean, spacious and good customer service. They often do half off sales which is a must buy! I took one star off only because of the parking situation. On weekends, there are no parking whatsoever! You gotta keep going around, or park at the liquor store across the street.

A GREAT SMALL BUSINESS…read more I've always been a fan of Independent Grocers, but the Novar Gardens IGA is at a whole other level, and it can bee seen by the many small business awards it has at its entrance. It's a cute lil' supermarket which stores all the main groceries that your after, but also it has many boutique goods as well. The staff are always friendly, and if you can't find something, they will get it in for you.. But that may only be because I am a regular. I'm a big fan of the small goods section and the daily fresh rolls. Yum! Another good thing is its open til 8pm every day of the year! If your sick of the big chains and your looking for something different.. IGA Novar Gardens is the way to go. :)

I just wanted to let you know that according to iMaps on the iPhone, IGA Novar Gardens is on…read moreMorphettville Road near Anzac Hwy. Can the manager at IGA please follow that up? Apart from that. I love shopping there.

Whilst sometimes the stock is low this coles has a dirty little secret we like to exploit. Yes Im…read morenot going to make THAT joke but this sexy little store reopens at midnight. Its 1am, youve just had a sandwich ala How I Met Your Mother and you feel like a dessert, yet you spent all your money on "sandwiches" and cannot afford the exorbitant servo prices. Well my funky friend you can walk down to Coles and buy all the chippies and softies you like. We often make the trip even when forgetting the necessities like milk and bread so while I hate this store for never having my sugar free aloe vera in stock (though theres always an empty shelf spot for it, curses) it is super handy though its only junkies, tired students and us rattling around their late hours.

Kurralta Park Coles is my local supermarket when at home…read more It's your standard Coles and stocks a wide range of foods. Coles tends to get quite busy in the afternoons and weekends, the car park turns into chaos! Like Coles Firle Monday-Saturday the store opens at 12 midnight, making it very convenient for peeps like myself who start before the crack of dawn to pick up the necessities before heading to work, whether it be milk, bread, the paper, or cigarettes.
