The Best Places to Shop for Groceries in Perth
Shopping on your own for the first time or just looking for new places to go? Here are six different places to shop for groceries in the Perth area offering everything from zero-waste alternatives to international goods.
Local Supermarkets
Coles Claremont
Claras Lane &, Gugeri St, Claremont WA 6010
ICYMI, there is a Coles conveniently located 4 kms from campus. If you’re someone who isn’t interested in alternative foods, this is an easy place to get your weekly shop done. They have a wide range of options including fresh bread and a deli counter.
Taylor Road, Broadway, and Wembley Supa IGA
Broadway IGA: Shop 33, Broadway Fair Shopping Centre, 88, Broadway, Crawley WA 6009
Taylor Road IGA: 152 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands WA 6009
Wembley Supa IGA: 320 Cambridge St, Wembley WA 6014
If you need something quick, the three local IGA’s are your best option. Broadway is the closest; a 15 minute walk from campus. It’s a smaller store, but they have essentials in a pinch. Taylor Road IGA offers a wider selection including a range of specialty foods: pre-made meals, a pastry counter, and international foods from countries like the USA, UK, and South Africa. Wembley Supa IGA is an 11 minute drive from campus, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for a hot meal with no prep. They offer a hot food bar, and at the end of the day they have discounted pastries and pre-packaged meals!
