So you live out here in the 'satellite' suburbs, right? Campbelltown, lap of the gods - well,…read moreexcept 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!!!

I find myself here a lot actually, I should probably organise myself a little better, but then again I know this place is here as a sort of grocery safety net. As it is an IGA they stock things that other supermarkets do not. They have American sodas and the like, as well as a huge range of imported foods from Italy.

Not your typical grocery store…read more.. I'll cut to the chase: probably the best supermarket in town for bargains. Weird, I know, since it caters for an upscale market. Best I can figure, rich people don't buying discounted meat/produce. Cool beans. Which leaves more old meat for the rest of us! If you're into that sort of thing. I once discovered a half strawberry (clean cut) in a reduced punnet, where presumably the bruised part had been cut off. Easy peasy parking. Standing at the entrance to the North Adelaide Village, if you haven't been in you'll probably think to yourself: "there's a supermarket in there?" Enter the "stucco cave." Ohhh "the switch..." If you're paying by card, the EFTPOS screen displays "checking" and "savings" on the opposite side of their respective buttons... It's like rubbing your tummy and patting your head, you actually need to stop and think about it. Top pick: Dansish fetta, $8.99/kg from the deli Beans... Cool... Beans, Cool... Cool Beans.

I also love that they stock yoghurt shop and have a good range of nuts. They also stock a range of salads/fruit salads; however I've never tried these. The best specials seem to be out the front of the store, and I've been eyeing up the huge bags of walnuts ($10!) all season (life of a food blogger hey!). The only downer would be that the cashier staff (although I'm sure everyone works everywhere, I always get served by the same lady) are a bit sour. I can deal. Probably. No, I can deal, this place is far too much of a frequent visit to over-think this stuff.

One of my main call cards for Norwood is to get my shopping done at yet another amazing Foodland…read more Now, this particular Foodland is one of the biggest of the Romeo Group. Set in the heart of Norwood shopping district and with a huge fan base, this groceries store has everything to offer. You are greeted at the entry by the large Deli section, fully stocked with the most amazing cheeses, meats, salads, roast chickens and seafood. All the produce is fresh and ready to be packaged up for you to take home. The staffs in the deli section are always busy! You will need to reach for a number as I almost guarantee you will need to wait your turn. They are happy for you to try different sliced meats and olives, so do not hesitate to ask to assist with your decision. As for the fruit and veg, it is generally well priced and fresh. You will find a good organic produce section here with a larger than normal. The fruit and veg are always arranged quite neatly and during the busy periods you will find staff constantly re-stocking. Like most Romeo Foodlands, you will find a very diverse range of products from around the world and a lot of locally sourced goods. They are very South Australian proud and I have found the most amazing local products here. One thing to mention about this store is the amazing bakery section. The bread, rolls, pastries and cakes are all of very high quality and are baked daily. You will find all different types of sourdoughs, rye, baguettes, pizzas, loafs, etc... I absolutely love the rye rolls here! Goes down well with cream cheese from the deli, avocado and Hahndorf Harris Smoked Salmon from the fridge section. Thanks Romeos for supporting South Australia!

This is a newly built facility that has two levels of underground parking-free for the first couple of hours. A spacious, clean elevator takes you up to the ground level store entry. A separate elevator will take you up one more floor to really nice modern, clean bathrooms. But, alas, no Dyson hand dryers :-( Note that there is a very nice independent butcher shop just before you enter the Foodland-I'm a big fan of it and their WILL be a review soon. The Foodland store is so clean, bright and well-stocked it almost hurts the eyes, but you adjust and move on with your shopping. We usually go on Sundays, after taking The Casper (our dog) to the beach. Another reason we are a fan of the (cool) underground parking. On Sundays around noon, they are always busy, but not so busy that it's hard to make your way up and down the isles or that you feel like you are in the way when it takes you a couple of minute of browsing to find just the right kind of tuna in a can from the 700 different varieties on offer. The selection is excellent and you shouldn't have any trouble finding your favourite items. That's not always true at our neighbourhood grocery store. Once, when we were after a large quantity of a special item on sale we asked if we could get a couple of cartons from the back. "Sure," was the cheerful reply and quick-as-a-wink they brought it out for us. At most stores you can't even find someone to help you, much less this kind of customer service. Kudos to Foodland employees. With all this goodness, there is a downside to shopping here. Once inside the new, well-built store you get NO mobile phone signal. Nothing, nada, zippo. So no checking email, messages, calling home to ask about something on your shopping list, checking prices online, looking up a recipe's ingredients online, or using your phone like a walkie-talkie and doing team shopping. This is an egregious oversight that could be remedied, for the most part, by putting in a free wireless hotspot. But, except for shutting off contact with the outside world, this is a great grocery shopping experience. Eat, drink and be merry-but not too much. JD

When it first opened I spent two hours going up and down every aisle and I'm pleased to say that the standard is still as high now. The newness hasn't worn off. Staff friendly and helpful. They always seem to have enough checkouts open. There are so many alternative or unusual products available that it makes shopping a dream. Eg gluten free, local producers, quinoa, buckwheat pasta, many choices of tofu, blocks of nougat, 3 or 4 sorts of rocket. Great deli counter. Look out for the pink stickers. Often great bargains to be had. Plus, being so close to the beach, it makes a domestic task feel like being on holiday!

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.
