Greengrocers, fishmongers, florists and enormous delis are just some of the things you'll find inside. I recommend getting in early (around 9am) and just taking a walk. You'll pick up some bargains, but I'll give you a run down of my favourite places. The chicken store stocks some great deals including enormous fresh chicken lasagna for around $17 - big enough to feed 4, you can freeze them or pop them in the oven for half an hour and get a delicious and hearty meal. The juice bar is a great place to refresh. The have low-fat creamy yoghurt, fresh juices and really excellent smoothies made with yoghurt and milk, or sorbet. Nick and Sue's gourmet deli is a must if you love dips, bread or any sort of meat. Prosciutto sliced freshly, soft pasta and a wide range of cheeses are also sold here. Nick and Sue's is your one stop shop inside the market. I'm constantly surprised by the quality and price of the ingredients (in a good way), and even though you may have to jostle around a counter to get served, it adds to the rustic atmosphere of the market.

I am objective, even though I have a voucher, but if you ever visit, you will see, wide aisles, well laid out, good butcher and friendly staff, great parking, a great complex overall and I must say I am not a supermarket fan but this place ticks all the boxes. If only all Coles were like this.

That said, Renaissance isn't your typical supermarket so, for it, I make an exception. This is a small and compact mecca of foodie delights. Sure you can get all your typical household items (toilet paper, washing up liquid and shampoo) but think of anything else - bread, milk, cheese, chocolate... and not only will you find the common brand names but an interesting assortment of gourmet, imported and/or organic options. You can buy dairy products from Schultz, bread from the likes of Zealey Bay, dips from Pilpel, icecream from Gundowing and don't even get me started on the chocolate selection... I always need to avoid that aisle lest I throw 100 bars of Simon Coll 70% cocoa in my basket. It's a great place to stock up on all your favourite epicurean delights while also grabbing those boring household essentials. The wine and booze selection is adequate if you desperately need something but don't expect to find unusual bottles here. This is the one area that doesn't seem to have been blessed with the same attention to detail.

The supermarket end is always well stocked, the qaulity of produce both fresh and aged impeccable, and you can get just about anything you're after. Which is a relief if you've ever been to a bodgy supermarket that is scant in offerings, and leaves you a slightly depressed. In fact Boccaccio is the complete opposite; a happy place that's always chockers with an incredible range. The Cheese section is enormous for the shop of it's size, the deli is on par, fruits and veggies are all there, and all in great fresh qaulity; the layout of the shop and selection of items are well thought out and chosen well. Boccaccio, both for the cellars and it's supermarket are absolute first rate when it comes to qaulity shopping with extensive and well sought range and breadth of fresh groceries of every kind. The supa Iga has you covered for: produce, green groceries, cheese, meat, and everything else, it's incredible; I don't think I've found another supermarket that can match it. It's worth noting here the most integral decision for choosing to visit- that it's not any of the big two supermarkets. Onto the bottle shop ergo the actual cellars; a brilliant offering of high qaulity wines of all kinds, beers, spirits which are broken down wonderfully into their respective categories, and any other form of bloody decent tipple you may fancy. in short all the alco-wholes, done very well.

Leo's reminds me of the best supermarkets in Adelaide, Foodland, stocking a similar range.

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.

TIP: ~ Like most (if not all) Woolworths, a lot of meat would be in the "special" section, of specially marked down for meat that needs to be used soon. You can grab some very good deals here. Just the other day I got 4 huge steaks for 10 dollars total. Somebody pinch me! Ambiance: Despite the busy atmosphere of being a grocery store on Victoria Street, the staff here do a top job of keeping this place clean and being efficient enough on the registers to get rid of large queues. The result? I never feel particularly crowded and hectic at this place, despite the barrage of customers. Contrast to say, a busy Coles, this Woolworths is a winner! Customer Service: So far, all the staff have been really nice and efficient as well. As I mentioned above, they do a great job with the queues. Selection: Overall, this Woolworths is pretty large so they have a great selection of items. Like I said, I do mainly all my shopping here and it's never let me down. --- The only thing I do have to say is that even though Woolworths does have an "Asian" section, I recommend you heading over to Minh Phat next door - for Asian goods, they do a lot better job with the prices.

Established since 1976, the market only opens on Sunday mornings and the trick is to get there early because bargains go quick! The market is conducted by the Rotary Club of Balwyn (RCB) as a means of raising funds for a wide range of charities and has been responsible for raising nearly $9,000,000 for the community since its inception. Among the rows of 370 stalls, you'll find vintage memorabilia, vintage furniture and homeware. You'll get a nice selection of used clothing, records, art, lighting, books, fabrics, comics and even plants. Every Sunday is different with casual stall holders trecking to the venue with carloads or truckloads full of fabulous finds. After all, one man's junk is another man's treasure! My advice is to check the weather before you make a date and be prepared for either icy cold winds or warm, tropical weather. I've been there twice at different seasons and the experience and overall ambience was complete different. My Spring visit was unbelievably cold and I had to buy a scarf to stop from catching a cold. On the other hand, my autumn visit was lovely and warm and made shopping so much fun. Oh and dogs are welcome so bring your furry friend along for the ride. Ample parking available under the Safeway and Target shopping complex and has a two hour parking limit on Sunday mornings.
