Oh Supabarn, after falling for your wonderful independence (as in NOT Coles or Woolies) at Five…read moreDock I thought I'd love you at your new Annandale location. Unfortunately you're a bit little and you're a bit more expensive (than Coles Leichhardt/Broadway AND Supabarn Five Dock). If you're an Annandale local you will probably do well with this new fella on the village strip, the 'barn carries a fair range of stock, and will be a bit of competition for the local IGA. Good selection fresh fruit and veggies :)

So much cleaner,…read morebetter presented and well stocked with delicious delicacies that many other Australian supermarkets, it is a pleasure to go grocery shopping here. Plastic tubs of dried fruits and nuts tower on one side of the entry, and fruit and veg on the other. Rows of uniform leeks, beetroots and carrots are crying out to be whizzed up into soups or sizzled into stir fries. I could spend hours exploring their shelves laden with organic oats, lentils, muesli and all manner of other amazing produce. The emphasis here is very much Australian, and they have a wide selection of organic goods here too. What makes Maloneys extra-special is their staff. Extremely friendly and chatty, helpful and efficient. When I reached the checkout, the guy serving me recommended that I buy a different type of passion fruit which was on special offer, thereby saving me about $3. He also helped me pick the ripest avocados and was extremely friendly. I think a shopping experience at Maloneys can best be epitomised by the jar of free sweets they have sitting at each checkout, and the fact they didn't mind that I took two.

This is probably the best place to get your daily two fruit and five veg servings and any other…read moredaily food essentials. Peakhurst Fruit Shop is perfect if you want to avoid the long lines and questionable freshness of fruits at your local Coles or Woolies. Among the obvious variety of fruit and vegetables sold at almost every other fruit shop, Peakhurst Fruit shop acts doubly as a delicatessen selling a huge variety of cold meats and appetizers to satisfy any entree platter. However, the real prize-winner in this place is the fresh home-made gelato (which is too perfect for the upcoming summer months). If you want something a little sweeter than your healthy serving of fruit, be sure to top it off with a fresh scoop of gelato on your next visit to Peakhurst Fruit Shop.

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.

Open 24 hours and right across the road from Narwee train station…read more Their prices are comparable to any 7-Eleven. The most popular items here include their fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts, pies, muffins and fresh fruit. Their yogurts also sell well, and so do their hot dogs - of which you just simply heat up in the microwave if you can't be bothered cooking. Also love the heatable chicken satay roll, again when I am too tired to cook. Otherwise your chocolate and ice creams are here. They always run out of the Maltesers Malt easter Bunnies. $1.80 a pop does seem steep, yet that is the cost of convenience. The cheapest price to pay for this treat is in Riverwood, a mere 30 minutes walk away, or 3 minutes on the train. Speedy service and no doubt Narwee's most popular take away as it is always open.

NO I am not related!! However I have been buying meat from Mardons Meats for years. I have…read morenaturally shopped around as these guy's do provide this quality meat and do not compete with the Major Supermarket style offerings, BUT I have never had a poor quality piece of Beef, Lamb, Pork Chicken etc etc. Their quality is consistantly high. They also do an extrordinary range of Gourmet in-house creations. A month ago I purchase a Hind Quarter of Beef that was Dry Aged for 30 days and I seriously have not tasted a more juicy and soft steak anywhere. I only paid around $12 a KG. Terry Gail Blacktown
