This is my go-to local supermarket. Open 'til late seven days a week, the prices are pretty good…read moreand the range is great. Banana Joe's was first opened as a fruit & veg market by Joe himself back in 1984, and has since expanded to include a great deli section and butcher. They have a huuuge cheese selection for a local supermarket, plus plenty of olives and a great range of organic products - ahh, Marrickville I love you. They also have some of the best Turkish delight I've ever tasted. Available in almond, vanilla and rose, it'll set you back just a few dollars for a plate and is great to take along to dinner parties. (Look near the dried fruit and nut section in the fresh fruit department.) The Banana Joe's website has a great tabouli recipe too!

I love Banana Joes…read more They have much better produce than Coles or Woolies and lots of specialty gluten free items, cheeses, cured meats and... just other quirky things, sometimes organic and health foodish, sometimes ethnic that are really good and/or hard to find. They have Chobani Greek Yoghurt (hit or miss at other supermarkets) and if they could just get on the Puregg Egg White train, I could ditch Woolies at Marrickville Metro completely and just shop here.

Never go there on a Sunday afternoon!…read more I usually fill 8 bags on a Sunday at a rival store. This Sunday I filled 2 of the absolute essentials I could get and will shop at the rival tomorrow for the other 6 or more. I doubt with this management whether any other days are better. The shelves were either empty or nearly empty. Good priced white peaches:- two mangy ones left and anyway they only had room for one box. Bananas were all over-ripe. Various egg varieties out of stock. Deli looked good and well-stocked. Frozen chips - two packs of McCains left. Car parking was pretty easy but I think that was because at 4:00 PM most of the vultures had left. Even overcharged at the checkout for two items when I only had one. I couldn't be bothered to complain as there was a queue at that desk. The manager of that store clearly doesn't give (...) for customers who (s)he believes should be serviced in the old rural sense of the word. Sorry Yelp but why don't you allow a zero star rating?

IGA is like the younger, more modest version of Woolworths and Coles…read more Their stock has less variety than the other two supermarket giants, understandably, BUT (and it's a big 'but').. their prices are way lower, their produce is fresher (Woolworths 'the fresh food people', my arse) and, arguably most importantly, their staff are much, much friendlier. I'm not sure why Woolworths and Coles staff constantly act as though we're doing them a favour by shopping there.. but they do. IGA staff don't. IGA staff give you a bright smile, ask how your day was (as in, REALLY ask, and wait for an answer, rather than just rattled off some pre-determined sentence as instructed to by their superiors) and generally act like they give a hoot.

This store feels new and fresh (unlike some of those IGAs, Friendly's and Franklins - you know who you are...). It is fairly big and has a good range of stock, including some good organic/fairtrade products. I've found that my basket is about the same price as what I have previously spent at Leichhardt/Broadway Coles - some things are cheaper, others slightly more expensive. However! If you hold a Seniors card, they offer 5% off every Wednesday ***If you're not a Senior, I recommend avoiding Wednesday**** PLUS they offer 10% off your groceries (over $100) on the first Thursday of the month. Still can't quite get everything I want from here, but almost :) AND you don't have to listen to that awful new "prices are down" jingle that Coles uses to lure you into thinking that shopping with them is cheap!

Imagine slowly browsing wide aisles, while (mostly 90's) music is playing at a comfortable volume. Sometimes I find myself bopping up and down the aisles :) There are very few kids in here, and the ones you see are very well behaved! I have not seen a single tantrum in this supermarket! The range is very extensive - I think as good as a Coles or Woolworths. But even though they have some great specials, you will pay more overall. Fruit and veg seem to be the main offenders on price, except for the specials. If you can, go on the first Thursday of the month for the 10% off special. It's well worth it!
