So you live out here in the 'satellite' suburbs, right? Campbelltown, lap of the gods - well, except if you need some kind of grocery item late at night. You CAN pay over the odds at a BP service station, there's two open 24/7 in the area - however if you're not going at paying two to three times what the can of catfood is worth at your local supermarket, you CAN go to the IGA...
Open till midnight, this is often a lifesaver for me - 15 years after leaving the Gold Coast I still have the odd lapse of concentration and forget I live in Adelaide, home of the 5pm closure, rather than a 24 hour fantasmogoria of shopping opportunities. You can get everything here from cat food to breakfast cereal, and the store is open till midnight. OMG, midnight, whatever is Adelaide coming to???
Until Campbelltown gets a 24 hour shop of some kind, the IGA is it. It provides absolute gold by being open way past the time every other supermarket has curled up with it's pillow and a nice fluffy doona.
Kudo's IGA, I love you!!! read more
