EACH Dulwich Hill

Very nice, clean, bright-ambiance grocery store that was well staffed and appears to be a great asset to this suburban community that I was visiting. To be fair, my time there was brief as I was a tourist in search of one item. It was a plus for me that they had a liquor store (or "bottle store" as the Aussies say) in their building.

I went to buy eggs today and there were two issues, one minor and one major. Pope’s 600g free range farm eggs are $5.50 (in comparison, the Woolworth’ s ones which are $4.50). I started rummaging through the pile of egg cartons to make sure that I was getting one that wasn’t full of cracked eggs. I finally found two and went over to the counter to pay my $11. When I got home, I discovered that one of the eggs was rotten and had the most repugnant odour. It stunk and the rest of the eggs were very similar in smell. When I opened the seemingly normal egg, a black liquid instantly poured out which was absolutely disgusting. The use by date was the 12th of October which is a month away. What the hell is this??? Make sure you don’t get eggs from here as they could contain salmonella. Not sure about other products but there is obviously a quality control issue in the store.

I used to like going here as they carried a couple of speciality items I could not get elsewhere. They dropped those items so I’ve not been on a while… I went back yesterday as I was in a rush and I was shocked at the prices which were about 30% greater than I usually pay. As per commentary on the radio supermarkets are gouging us under the guise of increased costs (say 10%) but they are having a lend and bumping prices up more than is necessary (20-30%)...to increase their profits. I will not be back.
