PLENTY OF THRILLS AT NO FRILLS NO Frills Foodmarket is a local business with a difference, operating state-wide with four locations and five wholesale warehouses. It is the “open to the public” division of Tasfresh Foodservice, which is one of Tasmania’s largest food wholesalers. No Frills Foodmarket allows members of the public, clubs, associations, caterers and small businesses to easily access the enormous range of food and related products sold by Tasfresh in a friendly environment where products can be seen and touched. “Many of the products sold in the No Frills stores are well known brands you recognise
from the supermarkets,” Foodmarket director Belinda Walker said. “Our big brands are the same as theirs, only cheaper. “We also give our customers access to a wide range of high quality products not normally available to the public elsewhere.” Many products sold at No Frills are the same ones used by restaurants, cafes, takeaways and caterers, allowing customers the ability to produce meals they normally have to go out for. Ms Walker said everything No Frills sold was at wholesale prices. “The range of products we offer is changing constantly and we also have the now well-known No Frills ‘Buy One Get One
Free’ deals on offer each week,” she said. “These are proving to be ever more popular with our customers.” While people need to be a member to shop at No Frills, it is easy to become one. People can sign up for free on their first visit when at checkout. No Frills Foodmarket is a 100 per cent Tasmanian owned family company that has become a success by offering its customers the opportunity to save money on their weekly food bill. This, combined with the opportunity to buy products you can’t get anywhere else, forms a big part of the attraction to shop at No Frills Foodmarket.

Texture of community expressed in art FROM FRONT PAGE
THE northern suburbs’ next generation of budding artists have collaborated on a community art project set to be exhibited at the Moonah Arts Centre. More than 60 local children aged under five have contributed to ‘The Texture of Community’, which is currently on display at the Child & Family Learning Centre Chigwell before moving to the MAC in December. Brighton artist Edith Perrenot worked with dozens of children at a series of workshops, helping the youngsters express themselves and bring the texture of the community alive via the medium of calico and colour. The children were encouraged to get handson with the materials, immerse themselves in the creative process, and use as much colour as they liked. “I love the fact that each individual painting is great, but they’re all part of something bigger,” Ms Perrenot said, “we were
all part of the creation. “And the best part is it can keep on going, we could keep adding to it for years.” A partnership between the Moonah Arts Centre and the Chigwell and Glenorchy Child & Family Learning Centres, ‘The Texture of Community’ project marks ten years since the first Child & Family
Learning Centre opened in Tasmania. There are now a dozen Centres across the state, including at Bridgewater and in the Derwent Valley. The Child and Family Centre Chigwell aims to support families in a safe place where parents and children aged 0-5 can play, access a range of services, meet new
