minus-squareSalvo@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 months agoI’ve found that recently IGA and Foodworks are cost-competitive and in many cases cheaper that Colesworth. Because they can’t get the contracts with larger producers, they often have better quality niche products from local independent producers. The best tasting bacon I have ever had was purchased in a Foodworks and was from a piggery a few towns over.
