The Woolworths in Australia is not closely the same as former Woolworths in the US. 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.

This part of Carlton could really do with a few more options when it comes to supermarkets and…read moregrocery shopping in general. 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.

Woolworths is my local supermarket and there isn't really much to say…read more It's your typical food grocer that has a range of items, the have fresh fruit and vegetables but are a tad on the expensive side (I get mine from the markets over the weekend). 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!

Nice store. Small by American standards, but I think pretty common for Australia. Decent selection,…read moreclean and easy to navigate.

It's a bit of a battle for Safeway and Coles right across the road from each other on Carlisle St…read morein Balaclava. Sadly, I think this Safeway comes off second best, as it just doesn't have that much to offer. Except cheeses! They have a really good section for cheese where I love to rustle through it to find the quick sale deals! The other decent part is its deli where it is probably a little bit better than the Coles across the road however as a whole they don't have as much good meats, bread or fruit and vegetables.

But Fruits on Coventry is the one I frequent the most, so I'm giving it my top prize. It's busy here, which means I know things are turning over quickly. Everything is super fresh and in addition to the usual suspects, I love the exotic fruits, special herbs, "trendy" things like edible flowers and micro herbs and purple carrots. The service is always efficient and friendly. While shopping around the other stalls may help me save a few dollars overall, this place has everything and knowing I get terrific quality and good service I generally don't bother and just make this my one stop shop for roughage.

Not my usual Woolies but my best friend has moved in near by so we decided pop over. The store is…read morevery spacious and easy to get around and stocks pretty much everything.

It's tempting to use it as a one-stop shop but there's a superior bakery next door and beyond that is somewhere with a greater range of cheese, so do explore elsewhere for those. This Coles has a good international section which takes up an entire aisle, although each country feels a bit token. Checking out is usually pretty swift with a good number of self-serve checkouts available.

My new neighbourhood Asian store has actually been one of my favourites for awhile now because my…read moresister has lived in the area for years. But now that I'm a local in the Caulfield area, it's become number one in my books. The couple that own it are really nice and do a great job getting to know their customers. It's like going to a family run store knowing you'll get top notch service every time. The couple are really good with recommendations too so if you're torn between brands, they can advise you which might be better for the dish you're preparing. Like all Asian grocery stores, you can find everything to do with Asian cooking here and some more rare ingredients like Laksa leaf (needed for curry laksa) and durian (frozen). They also sell a range of nyonya kueh (Asian desserts) and on some days you can get yu tiao (fried dough sticks) for porridge.
