The closest IGA is tiny and expensive, has nice fresh bread rolls, nice meat and that's about it. Better than it used to be though, the guy who used to own it would have a ciggie while filling the milk fridge and when you opened the fridge door you could smell it 😝 The next nearest one was awesome when it opened, they had a little cafe in there and great fruit, veg and meat, but now changed owners and lots of empty shelves and the cafe bit gone and bakery section shut. The one nearest my work has a little section where you choose things in their display and they cook it for you, as well as exotic bottled drinks and fresh popcorn, and also really good meat at a great price. I love going there.
