Gertrude Street Minimart is open at odd hours, often late, which is really handy, particularly…read morebecause it has a bottle shop section. Don't bother shopping here for fresh produce, though, as there is only a fridge stocked with some rather sad looking and overpriced vegetables. It does have an okay Asian produce section, with a variety of good sauces and marinades. Otherwise, it's all pretty standard 7-Eleven type stock.

If you're ever found yourself desperately hunting for a food item no one seems to stock, you need to check here first. I come for my Mexican fix. Corn flour or ready-made tortillas, El Cielo sauces, real agave for margaritas, and just about every other hot sauce, chipotle and salsa type imaginable. USA food addicts and expats can stock up on everything from Pop Tarts to twinkies. It's the kind of place you can get easily carried away with on first visit, so thankfully they have a Yelp check-in offer and we scored 10% off our impulse hot sauce spree.

Prahran Convenience is my go to shop for all things Organic and all my guilty pleasures…read more They have a vast range of all of your organic/paleo and health foods at great prices. I can pick up a 1ltr container of coconut or Maple water for under $4 here and sometimes they have bulk specials. They stock all the great brands like Zebra vegan ice cream, RAW protein & FOG milk. Apart from the healthy stuff, I love their huge range of American food. Candy, Cereal, sauces and products we find really hard to get our hands on here in AUS. They also stock Indian & Brazilian food too. I love that they are open 24/7. If you're in the area or in need of any ingredients that are rare, I urge you to give this store a try.

And I live super close and it's pricey like if you get 1 drink and 1 snack it'll cost $15 or over but it's nice

If you want pasta, you can choose from fresh delicious pasta ... to $0.90 a packet dried pasta. Latina style ravioli to local made fresh ravioli. Their deli selection is fantastic - a lot of Australian products to choose from. But also exquisite Italian prosciutto or French cheese etc. They do their own baked goods, make coffee, sell homewares, to hot fresh chickens, specialty gelato, plenty of organic options too! Definitely worth a visit.

Leo's reminds me of the best supermarkets in Adelaide, Foodland, stocking a similar range. The variety of organic, gluten free, and super foods is enough to inspire you to swear off the bad stuff, well for a few minutes anyway! Prices are slightly higher but when you're buying and supporting local I think it's worth it. Plus when you realise your exercising your right to buy outside of the big two, it's definitely worth it. You can easily do a big or little shop here. Highly recommend.

If you go when the sales are on, it's comparable to Coles/Woolies prices but in general it's more spendy. Huge gourmet cheese selection and great deli.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, you'll get your milk and bread and other essential items, at exorbitant prices! They don't have a great stock range though, so don't rely on them for anything other than the absolute necessities. The reason I love this milk bar in particular is because Dave HUGHESY Hughes shops here - regularly! And, if you're lucky enough and spoil yourself to a delish breakfast/brunch next door at Greasy Joe's on a weekend, you might just spot the funny man himself, coming back from the Espy after a big night, popping in to grab his paper. Only in St Kilda. AWESOME!!
