As Lovely Hubby does the shopping most weeks, I don't get to see the grocery shops very often, however last week LH and son were away on a fishing trip and our daughter was using my car for work, up until Saturday evening, when I dropped her off to the airport. So that left Sunday for me to do the grocery shop for the week ahead.
I have to say it's been a while since I saw the Northside Discount Fruit Barn and I was very impressed by the quality, cleanliness and overall display of the huge variety of fruit, veg, deli and grocery items that they stock. I did ask at the register if it had changed management but the young girl said no, that it was still the same owners. It was quite early on Sunday morning when I went and everything was displayed beautifully.
They have a huge outdoor section where the really good specials are, they sell a lot of produce in random weighted, plastic bag lined, buckets which really are such good value especially if you have a large family. As we don't need that much fruit I opt to buy just what we need for the week ahead. The prices inside are still cheaper and the produce fresher than our local supermarkets. Yes, I could have paid 99 cents per kilo for a big bucket of bananas but I know I would have had to use a lot of them up in baking so I preferred to pay the $3.95 per kilo for just 5 bananas for out weekday fruit salad and muesli breakfasts.
There is a lot of pre-packaged and plastic wrapped produce often sold in larger quantities but there is also a lot of produce sold without packaging so that is what I go for. Apart from all the fruit and veg available there is a huge selection of dried fruit, nuts, seeds and pulses all at very good prices.
This is what I came away with, no plastic in sight
I took a few videos to show off this great little business-
Do you have something similar where you live?
Have a lovely day,
