Absolutely disgraceful pricing practices â avoid at all costs.
Iâve now had six separate experiences at QE Food Stores in Camperdown where the price charged at the register is at least 30% higher than whatâs advertised on the shelf. Every single time, they blame a âbroken screenâ or some vague system issue â but how convenient that the broken screen always results in them getting more money and you getting ripped off?

The vegetables seem rarely fresh as they often feel limp and on their way out. Iâve seen packets and packets of mouldy bread on the selves, Iâve bought cheese that tasted off, Iâve found bugs throughout my pasta twice. Itâs very disappointing when you are paying top dollar. Otherwise they have a great selection of...
