Boundy's SUPA IGA

Great range, car park seems to be full since the Ryman village was finished. I wonder are some of the cars from visitors rather than IGA shoppers?

I shop there out of convenience but it has most things at reasonable prices. The meat selection is great as well as the deli. The younger staff could learn some manners and stop talking to there friends and serve the customers (quite a common experience) but otherwise good parking.

Well stocked IGA. Narrow isles which makes passing difficult.
Deli is stocked well with hot chickens and roasted potatoes, carrots and pumpkins.
Parking at rear or on the street at the front.

I had very bad experience tonight shopping here 10/06/2023 at 6: 20 pm

Tic Tac orange (3.20)
Bag reuse (0.15)
Nifti all purpose ×2 (10.00)
Bananas 1.48 kg (6: 23)
Meat & raw white large (10.99)
Kangaroo bone (5.99)
For all this he whant to charge me 62 bucks.
I went isnide and i told him why you wanna charge me 62 dollars and he said ohhh sorry i said it wrong, yes but what about the receipt why is -36.52
No answer back.
And i left and never more would come back.
I would attached the receipt but i'm hidding the name and sale id of the operator.

Worst overcooked chicken ever.
I've known two managers who worked there that both said they would never buy their meat there, because all their specials have come from others IGAs that couldn't sell it. Just quoting managers

Mind you. My friend that bought a chicken that was green underneath.

"PROFITS BEFORE HEALTH & SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS"

We've lived in the Essendon area for many years and so do many of our family members and friends. On occasions we shop at IGA Essendon, this morning I popped in to buy Croissants X 3 Pack. On paying, the teller noticed the bag was ripped opened and part of a croissant was out of the bag. The teller asked me to exchange it for another pack.

Teller than called over what seemed to be a 'store manager' and advised him this pack of croissants should be returned to the original baker, only to be told, in front of me and other shoppers 'it will be placed back on the shelf in a new bag. '

As I was leaving the IGA, I've tried talking to this arrogant manager about the Health & Safety of such action, at which he completely ignored me?

He's "profit before health of others" suggests that this sort of carelessness and neglect seem to be a common occurrence in Boundy's SUPA IGA ESSENDON.

For the health sake of my family and others, this unhealthy act will be reported to the food and safety regulator. Stay tuned!

For a small supermarket it everything you need. It’s like the old days walking down to your local milk bar but with a lot more. Well priced and easy to get to just remember to stay away during school drop off and pickup times otherwise you’ll spend half the time trying to get there and back.

Store needs a lot of TLC Fruit & Veg looks very sad I asked if they had any fresh stock out back was told if I didn’t like what they had I could go elsewhere
Funny that. I did
Staff.rudest I’ve seen
Family friendly … No
Star ratings need to be from 0-5

I have been buying groceries and meat for my parents for a while now and it is always a great experience to visit the store. You are greeted with a hello and a chat. There is a family, cosy feel to this store which you don't get at the larger supermarkets. This is the go to place to find products which you can't find at the larger supermarkets and with a different type of variety of products as well. The meat section is excellent, selling the best and reasonably priced meat, is well run, fully stocked with wonderful customer service.

Exceptional friendly and professional team. Well stocked and reasonable pricing on items that I purchased. Excellent deli.

Hi helen great great to hear from you hope you are well and happy and as i 'm i love you spread about your holemeal hot cut

A really good little supermarket quite a great range. Staff are friendly. Great quality meat which is rather well priced, can usually find a good special.

Great local supermarket. Stocks items not found in the nearby chain stores. Staff are friendly. Easy parking.
Support your local community by shopping here at your local IGA.

Good selection in supermarket and great little bottle shop out the back. Friendly courteous staff

Went for the first time yesterday. Very nice and tidy supermarket. Good mix of brands. They had some good specials on as well. Friendly staff. No wait at the checkout.

Used to go here all the time as was convenient on the way home from work, however, not using it anymore as staff there are quite rude and not overly friendly.

Great meat section however so I'll miss that but that quality alone is not enough to bring me back in.

Its amazing how much they can shelve in such limited space, I much prefer to do my shopping there than Coles or Woolworths.

Came in to buy my daughter a pack of Allen’s snakes and a bottle of mineral water. After searching the isles for quite some time with no luck I came across a young man named Luke whom came up to me and said “champ, you need some help”. Fluttered by this little boys kindness, I replied “I would love some”. He then responds in a calm and soothing voice “What can I help you with, muscles? ”. I was confused as why he called me muscles, as my arms aren’t much bigger than the handle on a tennis racquet, however I respond saying “I was just looking for some Allen’s snakes and a bottle of mineral water”. I stand silently and wait for directions to these items, but instead, the young man grasps me, and whispers in my ear “you can find the snakes for half the price at coles”. This boy has made my day, definetly deserves a pay rise and a promotion as he saved me a fortune.

Convenient place, and love coming here thanks to the staff - they appear to Have a preference of cutting themselves instead of serve another inconvenient customer by scanning a few items and have such a defeated attitude. Always leave with a smile after the reactions of staff who hate life and who are upset that you’re even breathing. 5 stars for the entertainment alone, thanks guys!

Nice relaxed supermarket. Staff are nice. Plenty of car parks.

When I was in there a customer with partial-blindness was carefully helped by one of the staff there; which was really impressive!
