Thoroughly worth the visit if you like pies, bakery slices or cheap sweets. Best deals on the big bags of off cuts - but being aware they are distinctly off cuts or powder
Parking out back is full of holes and could be dangerous if someone tripped up. Some products were a good price, others on par with supermarkets. Maybe put up a sign for disabled people for parking.
I can't help but stop here every time I do shopping as the cheap juices/mossies, pies, and slices are a hit in our house. Last visit, I was stoked to see elf on the shelf hiding with a caramel slice.
Was suggested to shop there as products are very reasonable. Vegetables, fruit, sweets and alot of other produce. Apparently that changes most days as they are supplied with whatever is available at the time. Very reasonable pricing.
Good variety of food items, bulk buying or individual but many of their prices are the same in a regular supermarket. Depends, I guess, on what one wants .... Plenty of parking at rear of premises. Clean and tidy and good interaction with staff.
Can’t always guarantee what is going to be available but the prices are so good compared to the supermarket! Good to stock up on frozen fruit. They always have slice options and frozen finger foods
Great place to buy reasonably priced factory seconds. Most of the food is frozen which is convenient to go directly into your freezer at home. There are a good selection of frozen veggies (cut and prepared already) as well as pies, pizza, cakes, oven-food like hash-browns and samosas, chicken and fish that is battered and crumbed, chicken nuggets, sausages etc. All that standard stuff. There’s another section with dry-goods and slices, cakes and broken biscuits and factory seconds lollies. A reasonable selection of additional things that are also worth checking out too! Parking on-site is handy and everything is as you would expect. Prices are pretty reasonable when compared to other similar shops!
An interesting range of food at good prices. Love that they're open on Sundays til 5pm. I've visited only twice but both times staff were cleaning or rearranging items and completely in the way - oblivious to customers trying to shop. Also found it frustrating that some signage/price tags were mixed up or missing.
Rang up the lady on the phone at 17.20 and asked when they closed, I was told they firmly shut at 17.30 due to her appointment HOWEVER, when we arrived at the bus stop at 17.27 and found the doors closed. The lady was in the parking lot and was just sitting in her car doing who knows what, furthermore we waited until 17.40 to catch a bus home and as we waited, the lady sat in her car in the driveway for about 6 to 7 minutes doing nothing, I think that the appointment was an excuse to leave early, not happy with this service and should have time maximised to the fullest for its profits. (Picture taken at 17.27 which shows that the shop was closed) This review is based of the service we received, not the products sold.
