Guest Nadjez Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 yeah another woolworths i find them to be quite reasonably priced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKC Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Woolworths for us too. It is okay price-wise, in a convenient place to get to and there is usually a parking space free, unless you go at a silly time like after the schools kick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snow white Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 i dont see that much of a difference between coles or woolworths i wish there were a few more to choose from maybe in another 5 years lesley x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nadjez Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 yeah none of them are majorly cheap, but as you say in 5 years time.and it's ashame that they aren't all open on a sunday, acutually all shops in general . Although IGA now is open on a sunday which is handy, but i try not to go if i can. we also used to go to farmer jacks on a sunday for bits and bobs, had great reduced fruit and veg, but thatclosed down.

Guest Vim Fuego Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 We try to shop at the local IGA in an attempt to keep the business 'local' ... this may be completely dellusional but we are sticking by it ... that and next closest ... Coles ... is 25 minutes away so the extra we pay is offset (a little) by the fuel costs ... can't beat home-grown veg though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nadjez Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 i agree, we had basil plant and tomato big and cherry plants, when and if i get back over to be with shane we wana get our own veggie patch happening : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Igor Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I like Woolworths and I like the one at Chermside because it's got self service checkouts so I don't have to tell them that my day has been AWESOME when in actual fact it's just been another day.

Guest Nadjez Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 lol, and does everyone feel them not selling alcohol within the stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vim Fuego Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 lol, and does everyone feel them not selling alcohol within the stores? It's an odd one that (coming from the UK it's odd, anyway), must have something to do with licensing laws because most major supermarket chains own a big bottle shop chain too. Can't say it's bothered me that much, I tend to head for Dan Murphys or 1st Choice, they tend to have a decent selection of 'interesting' beer. Mmmm, Old Engine Oil ... drink more wine than anything else alcoholic these days ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nadjez Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 lol, yeah i must say i am a big fan of first choice, actually i love em, if somewhere else is cheaer, they then sell their product same price or cheaper, they have a huge range of drinks world wide known drinks i love them, i have to say the staff are friendly too or maybe thats just the one near us too, or because we are always going in hahaha. but yeah drinks aren't too badyly priced either. rather 1st choice than bws anyday, although they do have good bargins on goon, no 1st choice it is hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Woolies for convenience (it's the closest), but there are things I really like from coles too ... if I travel a little further (like 5 mins), there's both in one mall so I can get all the stuff I need plus great veggies from the veggie shop Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUNSCOMBE FAMILY Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 i like LEO'S in Heidelberg, just off BURGENDY STREET, ITS UP MARKET, LIKE Sainsbury's I WAS PLEASENTLY surprised prices simular to coles, i use Coles mainly and also aldi but LEO'S for me beats them all hands down.THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WAITROSE HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Dan Murphy in Springwood which came highly recommended but when I visited a month or so back wasn't too impressed with the choice for 'real' beer ... they did have Hobgoblin though, so it wasn't an entirely wasted trip. I know what you mean about regular, when you are on first name terms with the staff then it's probably time to consider cutting back ... or suggesting a decent loyalty card! You will note I'm not big on food shopping advice ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
