You got two options here. So which one are you going to choose? hmmmm?

Why choose? Steal from both.
It's kinda a game how much can you leave in your trolley when you press the pay button.
you have truly become a monster 😈
Aldi Associate.
Can't afford to shop at Foodies, refuse to shop at Colesworth.

Proud to shop at a German chain. Aldi for me my friend.
Until they introduce AI surveillance, and then I'm done for.
how "un-australian" 😆
by the by. I think they use the ai to monitor their employees. but then again, to each their own.
This article was fascinating. It really shows how blatant the Colesworth "Sale" cycle is. Particularly when it looks like a DNA double helix.
So hard not to believe it's coordinated. But price collusion is illegal - they can't be doing that!
yeah this is crazy. I've been expecting that something like has been happening for awhile. The specials are such a lie
Bin diving fruit/veg and the rest from local shops - it's very circumstantial but I'm honestly kind of shocked how well it's working out. I'm eating better than when I was spending three times as much.
hell yeah, my guy. I do that too on occasion
None of the above (unless absolutely necessary)
I can get almost everything I need from Aldi and IGA.
If you're far enough outside of the cities (or willing to drive) you can also often buy direct from farms, cutting out the middlemen that all demand their own cut. And don't forget places like NQR and The Reject Shop for non-perishables.
I would also urge people to find their local community garden and/or food bank. If you need the support, there is no shame at all in accepting it from your community. If you don't currently need the support, offer to do what you can to help those that do need it. The more we can help each other, the less we need corporations like Coles and Woolworths.
The IGA prices are so jacked up bro 😖
I go to Coles because it's a 5 minute walk from my joint. That's after I've been to Aldi, the butcher, fruit & veg shop, fish monger. Emergencies only really.
I'm not surprised that this is your routine. The food pics i've seen you post always look damn good.
Woolworths for online and Coles because it's closest. There's no IGA or Aldi conveniently nearby and I don't have time to do the runaround sourcing things from everywhere else
Don't bother with IGA, they won't be cheaper
Worse than servo or milk bar prices
I'm one of those IGA Idiots.
I was tempted to be a CostCo Convert, but I thought about it and realised I don't need a shed full of stock, nor do I own a shed to place it in.
I only have the one Costco where I am and it's a long trip so I see no reason to bother
I go for the $1.99 hot dog when I'm working nearby. For nappies their standard price is normally cheaper but big w has sales for buggies that are better so i just load up.
I go for whatever the cheapest; Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, my local greengrocer, Catch…
I miss the Foodworks near Newtown station. The ALDI that replaced it is so shit.
Foodland if you're in SA
The one with a boomerang on the logo? I swear they used to be in WA too.
Yeah that's it! Really good deli department.
@khortits No choice. IGA is closest. Coles next, Aldi too far, but the cheapest
Woolworths.
Because I do the 10% off thing twice a month wih both a Rewards card, and their mobile phone plan.
And pay with giftcards, where the above membership gets me 4% off.
Phone plan + rewards, membership pays itself off within 3-4 months.
