We stopped here to grab a few things at the pharmacy and to stock up on treats to bring home. Prices were reasonable and a good amount of items were on sale.

Since Melbourne was my last stop, Coles was my last stop the night before I left for my vegemite, twists, shapes, and tim-tams, among many other things.

In saying this, this must be why Coles Melbourne Central has one of the quickest and most efficient self-service check out aisle I have ever come across. Because of the amount of traffic that parades through here on any give day they have Marshalls in fluro vests controlling the flow and making sure there is no delays that could potentially hold up a line of 20-30 customers at one time. I must say that their range of stock doesn't offer the biggest variety compared to other supermarket chains, but if you are just looking to run in and purchase the essentials they are great for speedy service.

Those days are…read moregone and Woolworths was more of a 5 and dime type of variety store back in the 1960's and 1970's. The Woolworths in Australia is a full service grocery store where I usually find the Aussie style licorice that is more chewy than licorice you would purchase in the US. Prices are very good, the bakery is the first stop where I look at fresh baked goods and determine if I will be able to consume what I purchase before leaving the country. Your own carry-out bags are needed to transport your items if you are unable to pick them up by yourself. The store hours are usually 7 am to 11 pm daily.

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.

Just a short walk from our hotel on Collins St at the Southern Cross Station is where this…read moreWoolworths is located. We were a little confused as we didn't expect it to be on the second floor of the station and with no signs saying Woolworths made it even more confusing. Go up the escalators on the Collins St side and look for a green light logo looking sign and you will find this place. This is the best place that we found to get your everyday things from food, drinks, and everything else you would find at a supermarket and with really good prices compared to other stores. Looking for gifts to bring back to the States? Look no further as they have all the local snacks and yes some great prices too.

A cafe, BWS store, fresh sushi bar with the option to have it made to your liking by the person manning it, during standard work hours, hot soup n rolls, pies, chicken nibbles, hot pizza, bakery, plus the basics down the aisles. Reasonable prices, its pretty amazing. If you go towards the end of the working day, they mark down alot of the food made that morning :)

Bargain Depot is certainly an aptly named clearance outlet. Set up in the manner of Aldi stores,…read morethe wares are displayed in the boxes in which they were brought in, and left out in open topped isles. However, unlike Aldi, most of the brands are clearly recognisable as the same stocked at any other supermarket. For the most part everything is priced significantly lower than your standard supermarket, or about the same as if all the goods were on special all the time. For example, a solitary can of Red Bull will only set you back $1.50 and a big bag of chips comes in around the $2 mark. However, I'd recommend a close inspection of expiry and use by dates, as it has a whiff of NQR about it, given the whole "clearance" element. The stock extends beyond food goods, with most of the stuff you'd find at your local supermarket and/or discount centre covered in the various sections. Among the more exciting discoveries was a huge range of piñatas for $18 a pop at the back of the store, including one that's a mermaid. Pretty cool, hey?

However, I'm sure I wouldn't be complaining if the Lygon Court Woolworths was awesome. If only. The real problem here is the sub par quality of the fruit and vegies. The produce is sad, overpriced and very uninspiring. In fact, it's best to go out of your way to avoid buying them here. I've spent far too long searching through discoloured capsicums and limp zucchinis in order to find something even remotely edible. Yuck. This Woolworths is saved from receiving a lowly two stars due to the excessive amounts of other stock on offer and the fantastically late opening hours. Just stay away from the fruit and vegies.

There's self serve checkout which means you'll be in and out as soon as you can find your items and pay for them. Probably one of the cooler facts about this Woolies is that there is a DVD rental vending machine as you exit so for a few bucks you can rent a flick from the giant green vending machine!
