Aunt Maggie's

May 15, 2014

I discovered Aunt Maggie's terminal twelvemonth when they opened a branch close my workplace. The broad make of veg-friendly goodies, organic fruit in addition to veggies in addition to friendly staff pose it into my regular grocery shopping rotation. So I was super excited when Cindy spotted some Aunt Maggie's signage on an one-time Crazy John's correct some the corner from our house.

They got the renovations done inward nigh no fourth dimension in addition to the store opened terminal week. I sneaked inward earlier the large opening solar daytime extravaganza in addition to poked some spell things were withal quiet.

First things first: it's massive. Bigger than the Fitzroy store I'd tell in addition to alongside a beautiful light-filled vibe. Things are quite spacious - fifty-fifty on the Sat alongside the crowds at that spot was enough of room to poke through the shelves in addition to suss out all the products they offer. There's a keen alternative of fresh produce, heaps of vegan-friendly materials (Vegusto, cashew yoghurt, kokosnoot icecream, tofu, tempeh, soy condensed milk, etc.), organic toiletries in addition to cleaning products (including this household's novel construct of lavatory paper) in addition to on in addition to on. 

So far, it's literally been a one-stop store for us (as opposed to the commons trip via the fruit shop, the IGA in addition to Coles). It's non doing wonders for our shopping bills - buying organic or ethical products is ever going to terms to a greater extent than than supermarket materials - but it combines laid upward availability of some otherwise difficult-to-find items alongside the feeling that we're supporting some worthwhile products in addition to companies. It's our go-to grocery store at the 2d (although they don't appear to accept the inexpensive lunchtime soup bar that the Fitzroy store offers).

24/5/2014: Correction - they make indeed offering soup at the Brunswick store, it's $6 for modest in addition to $8 for large. The spinach in addition to lentil soup I had today was excellent.
