After nearly three months of avoiding the place and going to Super Duper, despite the much more expensive fruit, I was in Lucky's yesterday getting something very boring and, while there, took a chance and bought some fruit. This is a perfect example why I stopped shopping at this dreadful excuse for a supermarket.

Rotten to the core

Looked OK from the outside and once peeled, but once sliced open,

Stop buying overpriced crap fruit and veggies from supermarkets, go to the local markets.

Last time I tried to buy grapes from a market stall on 154, she touched the bunch and about 100 flies took off from it. I walked away.

I am a committed Super Duper fan now. The have got some salad cream back in stock too. Their herb and spice supplies are excellent, you never wait at the check out and they have an ABA QR pay machine.

As for Worcestershire sauce, Bayon is always good for that and they also have the HP sauce in the large plastic bottles which are more convenient and cheaper than those little glass bottles. They are $3.50 for the 390ml ones. Lucky charge $6.20 for the 255gm glass ones. Go figure...

It's so true. And fun also. 2 nice pineapples cost like 1 dollar. Great salads. And most of all its fun

It stinks too, with meat stalls next to the fruit and veg stalls that stink and are covered in flies. Plus it's yet another place to have to go to get basics.

I like the markets, generally. I’m normally the bag man while she negotiates, though. And the little fella is along for his good looks, which helps keep negotiations cheerful.

There is a new Lucky's Express on st 144, east of 19. It's quite big, much bigger (and better) than the mini-marts.
IMHO, Lucky's is good for meat, salmon, squid, cheese, Australian milk, chocolate, Thai frankfurters, olive oil, baked beans - and all the non-perishable stuff.

You're kidding right?
