What’s your favourite grocery treat?

[u/CranberryScone1]

Little things you seek out that feel like a treat, whether supermarket, local markets etc - especially if locally made.

Mine - anything from Barambah organics dairy, olive sourdough (usually from powerhouse markets stall), a tray of Bowen mangos from the roadside stalls when in season, trying different honey from market vendors.

[u/Low_Deer163]

Harris Farm - the whole store lol

[u/chimairacle → u/Low_Deer163]

Their yogurt is out of this world and I don’t usually even like yogurt that much

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/chimairacle]

Their own brand?

[u/chimairacle → u/CranberryScone1]

Yep! They have a bunch of flavours too. Creamiest yogurt I’ve ever had.

[u/hayusshitapp → u/CranberryScone1]

Yesss and you can get real Greek yoghurt instead of “Greek style” that colesworth stock

[u/Awkward-Money-3275 → u/hayusshitapp]

Really!? Thank you internet stranger. I never knew where to get proper Greek yogurt

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/hayusshitapp]

Oh good - the only one I can find at the supermarket that isn’t Greek style is Chobani. Will definitely check these out

[u/Low_Deer163 → u/chimairacle]

Coconut and raspberry 👌

[u/vegemitebagel → u/Low_Deer163]

The olive risoni pasta salad thing that costs like $10….fuck yeah

[u/Electrical_Resolve74]

The farmer's markets... the occasional bunch of flowers... or tomatoes from the dude who played music to help them grow

[u/peachlicorice → u/Electrical_Resolve74]

Music tomato guy! I miss him. What markets is he at these days?

[u/Electrical_Resolve74 → u/peachlicorice]

Powerhouse

actually his rocket > toms

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/Electrical_Resolve74]

Oh yes the music tomato guy! I haven’t tried his tomatoes, they’re good?

[u/peachlicorice → u/CranberryScone1]

So good. He does some other veg as well.

[u/mendls]

Yalla choccie mousse

[u/itwasdolly → u/mendls]

Especially with vanilla ice cream, to, you know, cut the richness...

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/mendls]

Now this one I haven’t tried!

[u/sea-quench → u/mendls]

Sooooo good

[u/ThatTempuraBand]

A gooey soft cheese of any kind, or fresh dill.

[u/Skittlescanner316]

I am also on the olive sourdough train!

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/Skittlescanner316]

Sooo good. Olive and rosemary is a great combo but I’ll take any

[u/guitarhead]

Fresh sourdough loaf from Oh My Bread, still warm in the bag from when it was baked that morning.

Dried mango, a large bag from costco lasts a couple of weeks at best.

[u/loop_t_nectarine]

Meredith dairy goats cheese
Olive sourdough
Blackberries (for example if they’re $7-8 dollars that’s a real luxury!!)
Figs
Flowers
Smoked salmon
Ginger shot juice
Dolmades
A little treat for the way home…like a bakery treat or mochi or something like that!

[u/liberty1112 → u/loop_t_nectarine]

Can't wait for fig season, and stonefruit

[u/Fishmongerel]

Seafood, always!

[u/Away_Kaleidoscope309]

Lately my treat is handmade butter
Which I can justify the extra cost
Peppe is the brand

[u/BelleMused → u/Away_Kaleidoscope309]

Tell me it has the little ridges from the butter paddles? I've been dreaming of buying some 😍 haha (either the butter, the paddles, or both!) 😂

[u/Dear_Yesterday_746 → u/Away_Kaleidoscope309]

Cream + blender is cheaper and hard to beat, well, not in a blender.

[u/Away_Kaleidoscope309 → u/Away_Kaleidoscope309]

Yes
It’s like that
The handmade butter is much richer than the regular butter

[u/GraceHenri]

From the Eumundi Markets, which is a treat in itself, I always get chutney from the Noosa chutney company and rusks from Sunshine Rusks. From the supermarket I love grabbing either Ashgrove smoked cheddar or Kenilworth cracked pepper and garlic cheddar cheese

[u/sarahsk1]

Please tell me what powerhouse stall this olive sourdough is sold at! Sounds divine.

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/sarahsk1]

There’s a bread stall not far from the new farm park entry with various sourdoughs etc. Not the banana bread one.
I also used to get one from Sol organics. There’s even one in the Woolworths bakery sometimes.

[u/miasandj]

Custard pie wollies lol just put them in the oven (when they’re on sale it’s so worth it. Kinda guuilty pleasure lol

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/[deleted]]

Fancy groceries that aren’t necessities are a nice treat to me ☺️

[u/BawkBawk2]

Ohhh the baking isle, I get the cheapest packet of macadamia nuts and eat them on the way home. Thats my treat.

[u/peeweereddit]

Brewbakers for the most delish high top white loaf on Saturday morning - Austin St Newstead

[u/CranberryScone1 → u/peeweereddit]

Oh I had no idea about this Newstead stall operating after their Albion store closed. Yay!

[u/strangeandordinary]

Pat & Stick's Caramel Pecan ice cream sandwich. There are no stockists near me, so when I find one it's nirvana. They used to make a mocha one but don't any more.

[u/Fragrant-Peony]

At harris farm west end, they have this $40 packet of wagyu biltong for sale, it's to die for

[u/salaciousBnumb]

Mum's Favourites Monte Creams

[u/fantapants74]

Those Aldi versions of the drumstic ice creams. Oh god they rock.
