Make IGA your ultimate winter pit stop and discover how well IGA fits into your everyday routine!

Winter is all about staying cozy inside, which means the last thing you want to do is head back out into the cold once you’re already home. That’s where your local IGA store comes in.

Whether you’re grabbing halftime oranges on the way to Saturday footy, picking up a hot roast chicken for an easy post-sport lunch, or just dashing in after work for that missing ingredient for dinner, IGA makes quick top-up shops simple and convenient. Better yet, it’s right on your way home.

Pop in while you’re already out and about, grab what you need and head home to stay warm and cosy. It’s all about making smarter shopping trips this winter.

Reviewers are currently taking on the IGA Pit Stop Challenge. They’ve received an IGA voucher to fund their IGA winter pit stop. They’ll come back here to share their honest review of their IGA experience.

  • Love my local IGA

    IGA is such a hidden gem. So close to home, easy to navigate, and stocks our favourite brands. The stores are always neat and tidy and the produce is fresh. The catalogue deals and 3 day specials mean I can save a few dollars every time I shop. Cash Back on the IGA Rewards app is a great incentive too!

  • Love shopping for products I can’t find anywhere else

    I love shopping at my local IGA, I go there to get products that I can’t get any where else and for the wonderful customer service. They have a fantastic selection of every day items available, their deli and produce departments are always full with fresh stock and best of all, they still have their in-store butchers, so I can buy good quality meat. And their weekly specials are very good, too.

  • Mid week top up

    Our IGA Pit Stop Challenge was an easy breeze being able to grab a mid-week top up (valued at $60) to keep my active kids happy and healthy. Life can be hectic especially when school term resumes and after school activities take over. Being able to find our essential items at a value price and in conveniently located IGA stores is a huge help. Thanks IGA & Mouths of Mums for the Gift Card and fun challenge!

  • A lovely shopping experience!

    I find shopping at IGA super convenient, I love that their hours on the weekends are longer than traditional supermarkets so if I forget something it's super easy to pop in and grab what I need. Their range of fruit, vegetables and meat is also fresh and well varied and they carry a lot of more gourmet products too which is always fun.

  • Fresh and convenient

    I love how easy it is to swing by IGA and grab hot, delicious food that keeps everyone happy — pre‑made curries, roast chickens, spring rolls and more.

    It’s the perfect stop when you want something comforting, quick, and ready to enjoy.

    And yes… the fruit platter with chocolate dipping sauce is always a hit at home!

    Warm food, easy choices, happy tummies — that’s our winter

  • Great experience!

    IGA Dulwich Hill is one of the most beautifully presented and easily accessible supermarkets I have been to in a long time. The produce is display aesthetically, there is a great bread section and there are many products available here that you are unable to find else where. I managed to find everything I needed and stocked up on staples such as milk and bread but also managed to find some coffee on clearance that came in handy for our latest camping trip! The staff member was more than happy to use the supplied voucher and over all it was a wonderful shopping experience :) I also used the IGA app and added to my cash back!

  • Convenient and Quick

    I love our local Iga even more in winter! I absolutely hate the cold weather and our Iga is small and simple, easy to navigate and find what you need. The range always impresses me and I’m always served with a friendly smile. I get home so much quicker when I shop at Iga, I definitely recommend supporting your local!

  • Wonderful experience... Loved it

    Our Winter experience with IGA was such a wonderful family outing!

    We had such a lovely time exploring the store and doing our grocery shopping together. From finding our everyday essentials to discovering new products, the whole experience felt easy, enjoyable, and family-friendly.

    One of the highlights was trying the fresh milk machine, where you scan your bottle and fill it with fresh milk. It was such a unique experience and something we had never done before.

    Thank you, IGA, for creating such a warm and welcoming shopping experience for families. It was more than just grocery shopping.

  • Convenience and quality

    I love our IGA near our home. It is closer than the big supermarkets and has extras like a sushi area and juices galore. I popped in for a quick dinner pitstop before school pick up. Highly recommend a hot chook and rolls for hungry little bellies.

  • Perfect for a quick top up

    I enjoy shopping at IGA because it’s quick, convenient and perfect for those in-between grocery shops. The staff were friendly, the store was well organised, and I didn’t have to spend ages finding what I needed. Overall, it was an easy and enjoyable shopping experience, and I’d happily shop there again.

  • Convenient and good variety

    One thing I love about my local IGA, especially in winter, is how easy it is to pop in on the way home. The other day I stopped in to grab everything I needed for a pasta dinner, and it saved me from having to head back out once I was already cosy at home.

    It's perfect for those quick top-up shops when you've forgotten an ingredient or decide on dinner last minute. I can get what I need, head home, and enjoy a warm homemade meal without the extra hassle.

    It really fits into my everyday routine and makes winter shopping so much more convenient.

  • Surprisingly heart-warming encounters at my local IGA!

    I was pretty surprised that just by popping by at night time to stock up on some essentials, I managed to make $60 last over three shops at a local IGA! I have a few near me, but I like going to the one at Bowden. The specials were clearly marked, and there was even a trolley full of perfectly good, marked-down produce! In today's day and age, it's such a help to have a dollar stretch even further.

    As a vegan, I found that everything I needed was catered for - from a range of vegan chocolates, to multiple different flavoured Kombuchas, ready meals, and a party bag - a PARTY BAG of Toobs! (They did not survive the drive home intact!)

    However, I have to say the thing that sticks with me about my visits to IGA Bowden is the staff. During my first shop, the young girl told me really excitedly how she had just got her drivers license! It warmed my heart. On my second visit, the man serving me had an interesting chat with me about creative ways to reuse all those shopping bags we have lying around at home. All the staff genuinely seemed happy to be there and friendly, and endeavoured to help me with my gift card.

    In a time when we are all shying away from human interaction, honestly I have to say it was so nice speaking to actual people AND that the conversations didn't feel forced at all. It left with me with a really positive feeling when I left the store, and it's a credit to the people at IGA Bowden. I will be back!

    Our local store IGA Mosman has a perfect range of products that offers one stop shop. From fresh cakes to convenience meals, in store bakery to BBQ Chickens all available and ready to go. Beside the convenience this store never has queues and with self service checkouts as well as service there is always an option where you can go through straightaway.

  • Super convenient pit-stop shop!

    On my way home from school pick-up I stopped into Chris' IGA at Carina, QLD to buy some lunchbox snacks and dishwasher powder. The carpark was mostly full but the shop itself was spacious with wide aisles, so it didn't feel at all crowded. The aspect that stood out to me was the fact that all the shelves and fridges/freezers were fully stocked - something you don't often see at major supermarkets. The store had everything I was after, however only the smaller size for the dishwasher powder. Many popular items were on special and I ended up with more items than I had planned as a result. The checkout operator was friendly and asked for my rewards card before the scanning began. She also offered me a bag which was gratefully accepted. All in all, it was a very pleasant, efficient and fruitful shopping experience.

  • Decent shopping experience

    I recently shopped at IGA and had a good overall experience. The store was clean, well organised, and easy to get around. I found most things I needed, including fresh chicken, pantry staples, drinks, cereal, and household essentials. The shelves were well stocked, and the fresh products looked good quality. The checkout process was quick, and the staff were friendly and helpful. While some items were more expensive than at larger supermarkets, the convenience and good customer service made the visit worthwhile. Overall it was a smooth shopping trip and I would happily return to IGA for my grocery shopping.

    When you just want to do a quick shop and get in and get out, my local IGA had my back. I was able to pick up a bunch of specials, staples and snacks and be in and out of there in no time. And the service, like always, is EXCELLENT. I'm so pleased! I was surprised at how much I got for $60.

  • Such a great range of speciality products

    My local IGA is the Piedimonte's in Fitzroy, and I am always blown away by how extensive their range of speciality items is and by the freshness of the produce section.

    In our household, we love to have all of the condiments and toppings that really ignite a meal whether it be pickled veg, hot sauce, or antipasto from the deli. This is particularly important in winter when it's hard to leave the house and we're always tempted to order take away! Have all the trimmings helps to make dinner at home more exciting.

    We can get everything we need, as well as any household necessities (cleaning products etc) all from IGA at really reasonable prices.

    I am a vegetarian and my husband is a vegan and this IGA also has a really extensive range of meat-free and dairy-free options to help us create healthy and filling meals at home.

    For anyone that hasn't checked it out before - there's also a great cafe upstairs!

    I personally prefer the meat at IGA, it just seems better quality.

    There is also hot food available if you’re on the go.

    Whilst some products are noticeably more expensive than other supermarkets, there is often some good sales as well.

  • I have been a purkle.member for several years now since first reading about it on this MoM’s website. The surveys are fun and i have scored quite a few gifts cards on Purkle after reaching the required.number of points. Its easy to sign up tok so why not give it a go?

  • If you haven’t already signed up for Purkle, what are you waiting for?? Do it!! It’s so easy to do, and it is really rewarding. I regularly get surveys, almost daily, and it takes no time at all to gain enough to cash out a gift card. It’s been great for splurging.

  • I’ve earnt quite a lot through Purkle.They pay in gift cards and it acts as a great side income especially when it comes to buying something that is a non essential.I love Purkle 😉

  • I have been a Purkle member for 10 years now. At the moment I have over $100 I am able to convert. Surveys can take any where from 3 minutes to 30 minutes and vary in amount you earn. It’s a great way to earn some money when you have free time. I am pretty slack at opening the emails so if I was more attentive I could have earnt a lot more.

  • Love purkle! Currently earning my way up to a big gift card for my kids birthday 🎂

    Reply

  • I have been a Purkle member for approximately 10 years. I have redeemed hundreds of dollars over that time. Once you join, you receive survey invitations via email. I probably receive one invite per week. Some surveys are 5 minutes, others 30 minutes, some hours which enable you to log in and log out to complete. Incentives vary. It does take a while to add up but if you leave the incentives untouched, they eventually add up over time. It’s my little Purple bank account I have in the background of everything else I do.

    Reply

  • I have been with Purkle for a bit but I actually haven’t seen their email a for a while. I probably should check my account online and check if my emails are going to spam as the emails are what prompts me to go online and complete the available surveys.

  • I have been with purkle for a long time on average cash in about 300 a year, it’s very easy to convert money to useable vouchers. I find it easier to just fill in whilst watching tv or something. Sometimes there are gaps with surveys but tend to save them till end of year anyway

  • I actually signed up to Purkle a few years ago and didn’t really make much money then! Its a good article though, and thanks for the reminder to log back in and do some surveys! Both my kids are at school now, so I do have some more spare time to fill!

  • I have joined purkle years ago and did make a fair bit of money back then when on mat leave doing a fair few surveys. But it has been years since I have used it so this article was a good reminder to get back on it and earn some additional money!

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas
