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

Lol, no. I'm referring to the canned fish.

I have never gone to aldi and not found a basic, like cooking salt or sugar etc. You might not have a choice of brands.

I've paid more at Woolies and only had brand options I don't like, with the brand I want being sold out.
