Family and friends have been going to the old and new locations for almond 40 years. The hours and cost of the products were great . Now since opening the new location on O'Connor I've been told that they've changed the hours forcing staff to work shorter hours in order not to pay staff overtime.

Toblerone, Cadbury, crackers, Halls, and a number of other treats. People that were cashing out in front of me had bill totals of $7. I got a case of Cadbury chocolate bars, 5 kg for $60, so my total was a bit higher. What a deal!
Lots of parking, living in the city you really start to appreciate amenities like that. Just watch out for the entrance off of Bermondsey, big pot hole.
Store is closed on Mondays, so time your visit accordingly. Also, so not come hungry!
