The ACCC's supermarket inquiry has shone a spotlight on Coles and Woolworths' high prices. But 76 per cent of shoppers still head to either store for their primary grocery shop.


Aldi has again beaten Coles and Woolworths in a government-funded shopping basket comparison.

Consumer advocacy group Choice released the results as part of its quarterly survey, sending mystery shoppers to 104 stores across the country in September.

Here is a breakdown of the costs between Aldi, Coles, Woolies and IGA (without specials) from its most recent report:

  • Aldi: $50.63
  • Coles: $67.90
  • Woolworths: $69.29
  • IGA: $77.57

This is what I do too. I usually only have to go to Coles or Safeway when a recipe calls for something obscure or niche.

The thing is, they are usually dry goods like spices or medical supplements, which can also be bought online.

Safeway and Coles are only there for convenience.
