I usually try to shop at the greengrocer before I head into whichever supermarket is nearby, however I was unimpressed by Tropicana, so ended up in Woolies next door. Their prices are consistently more than the supermarket, however their quality and freshness is lower. I was keen on some cherries but on closer inspection they were near to rotting. Their other food was unremarkable. I see little point in paying more for inferior quality. Their apples were particularly pricey. Only on a few items are they cheaper, like for spring onions (which always seem to be expensive in supermarkets). They have a small range of pre-packaged nuts, but the prices on these are not great either.
All in all, a disappointing greengrocer which can't compete with any supermarket. read more
