Supermarkets: Outer East

Ritchies Supa IGA Rowville

Wellington Village Shopping Centre
18/1100 Wellington Road
Rowville

This is a hidden gem. At the time these photos were taken the store was being refurbished and things were moved around, so I won't comment too much on the location of the items, but the range is HUGE, especially for such a small supermarket. Brands range from Ceres, Schar, Fodmapped For You, Well and Good, Ceres, Freedom Foods, Simply Wize, Rick Grants, Food for Health and many many more. Worth noting is that harder to find products in popular ranges can be found here, in particular I bought Genius crumpets, and they had quite a few packs in stock. They also stock the entire Some foods range (I've found many places only stock the butter chicken and Thai green curries, but I've found Malaysian Peanut Sauce and Yemeni Spiced Sauce here). FODMAP friendly foods can be found in both shelf-stable, refrigerated and frozen and the pricing is reasonable.




Go Vita

Westfield Knox
1063/425 Burwood Highway
Wantirna South

Go Vita is located on the lower level, across from Bakers Delight. It is a very narrow store, so I wouldn't recommend taking a trolley or a pram through there, but it is possible if you need to do it. They have a good range of products, but being a small boutique style store, some of the items can be found at a lower price elsewhere. However, brands like Schar, Well and Good, Simply Wize and Bon Appetito seem to be on par with pricing elsewhere.
Their range seems to be limited to shelf-stable products, they have refrigerated and freezer sections, but they are very small and seem to have more of a vegan product lean.
