Looking for a present for my grandson was going to be frustrating, however there was a good range here and price that I could afford. The time to be served was a joke. Hopefully it was a one off.

A very impressive array of goods to make eating a delight, catering for all cuisines and price brackets. The staff are very helpful and can suggest different types of meal using their goods.

I only go to do a little shopping at Woolies as I find that their prices are a lot dearer than their competitors in most items, including when they are on special. Being on a strict budget forces me to be very concious of money and if I did all my shopping there, I would eat for 3 nights per fortnight. Only go there if you know you will save money and have the time to get through the checkout.
