Don't trust the best before dates on fresh items!!
Fish purchased today with a best before date of 18/05/26. As soon as I opened the packaging, the fish was off and it had a strong, fizzy ammonia smell. This is not the first time I've purchased fish from here which was unsafe to eat, which is frustrating given you'd think you can trust the dates (which aren't even expiry) on packaging.

Location is convenient.
Unfortunately they constantly run out of products. Whoever does the ordering isn’t doing a particularly good job!
Why is chocolate Up & Go 500mls constantly out of stock??? Order more, it’s not rocket science! Same goes for Puboi Valley 1.5L & 750ml Chocolate Milk!
Woolworths meat selection is generally poor, here is no different. Better selection and quality at other supermarkets.

Very disappointed ☹️
I regularly shop at Countdown Moorhouse Ave and stopped in to buy two bottles of TRESemmé shampoo, only to find they were $10 more expensive than at Chemist Warehouse. I asked if they could price match, but was told by the counter lady that they don’t offer price matching. Very disappointing.

Good store & well stocked .
The young lady at the counters found a pouch of drum for me . Aisles very neat & many lines within the store .
Sharon served us & she was really cool .
Plenty of food , groceries, beers n wines .
Good to see an after hours security guard was on duty too last Saturday night .
Place looked very tame compared to Auckland !
