Are you a Coles patriot. Or are you a Woolies nationalist?

    It’s kinda a game how much can you leave in your trolley when you press the pay button.

  Proud to shop at a German chain. Aldi for me my friend.

  Until they introduce AI surveillance, and then I’m done for.

    by the by. I think they use the ai to monitor their employees. but then again, too 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.

  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.

  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

  • eatham@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Don’t bother with IGA, they won’t be cheaper

      Worse than servo or milk bar prices

  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.

  • khortits@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I only have the one Costco where I am and it’s a long trip so I see no reason to bother

    source

    • notgold@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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.

  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 😖

    source

    • Salvo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yes they are; Because they small businesses, which actually pay their employees a living wage and don’t have the buying power of the big supermarkets.

      Even then, all the IGA locals around me and larger IGAs on surrounding towns are still cheaper than Safeway and Coles.

  I miss the Foodworks near Newtown station. The ALDI that replaced it is so shit.

  I go for whatever the cheapest; Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, my local greengrocer, Catch…

• FuryMaker@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  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.
