Undercover shoppers sent out by consumer group Choice, have discovered buying at Aldi is the best value. The research is meant to encourage competition and comes after an inquiry found Australian supermarkets are among the world's most profitable.
Bills are up, budgets are tight, and a trip to the supermarket is now a numbers game.
I think everybody wants a price to come down. I just buy what I need and usually on special food electricity. I'm sure everyone is going through the same woes.
Choice has revealed how to stretch your dollar, sending mystery shoppers to one hundred and four stores across the country, recording prices for fourteen everyday items including mints, milk, bread and apples.
We've been doing this for a year and every single team Aldi has comment on top.
A basket from the German chain costing just over fifty one dollars. Both Coals and Woolworths came in around sixty seven dollars, while IgA was the most expensive at just under seventy five dollars. But because it's a franchise, prices vary stare to store phone that.
Aldi is super concessent like almost Exalted. To seem Willis has gone up slightly, but all of our couple of doors calls has gone down slightly.
But the Consumer Group has previously been accused of favoring Ali by comparing its home brand with big brand names sold at Willies. And Cole's. But Choice says, the survey is fair.
You're comparing apples with oranges. Are not comparing apples with apples. That is not the case. We are literally comparing apples with apples.
But staples like eggs, oil and cheese are causing the most price pain.
So just buy the basics and then I work from there. But I don't buy from one supermarket.
