I do enjoy browsing the Aldi specials.

Getting to love all the Aldi specials especially stocking of South Africa products in some outlets.
They are cheaper than Woolworths and Coles with alot of products.
Their cleaning and washing products I believe are simply the best.

It amazes me thgat so many people do actually love Aldi !

yes Aldi wins but where do they source their frozen vegies and what do the chinese farmers put on the vegies. Not for me I stick with Aussie vegies.

If only Aldi was more accessible to me.

Im not surprised Aldi has come in first amongst the other two.

I shop at Coles and shop to the catalogue and specials.

I love Aldi! The quality of their meat and fruit and veg far exceeds Woolies or Coles.
The chocolate is also insanely delicious!
I do get roped into the special guys easily however haha

Not everyone has an Aldi close. Driving 1 hour each way to my closest Aldi defeats the purpose of saving money. And they don’t always have the range of products you need anyway

I’ve always said this! There’s been a bit in the news down here in Tassie as we don’t have Aldi and we really need one or two stores to bring some competition. I hope they really push for it and it happens! I’ve been waiting a long time!

Sometimes aldi can be cheaper but I find even the basics are the same price at Coles, so I go there more often now so I can atkeats get my flybuys

I shop across a number of places, supermarkets and the fresh food market to get the best prices and deals.

Whilst Aldi may be cheapest, who want to support a German giant here in Australia ?
Also I don’t like Aldi’s assortment; they don’t do a lot of vegetarian products, nor healthfood, not even decaf ground coffee or freshly baked bread.

  I shop at Coles, Woolworths and the fruit & vegetable market

I always hate these statements. Are they comparing branded items at Coles and Woolies vs home brand at aldi?
I know fruit and veg would be different, but keeping to Weetbix and Lipton tea, then home brand for other products, Woolies online shop everything at $48.05 today.
I try to do an honest proper shop every few months at aldi and the last time I tried, the only saving was cheaper bread and eggs. 20c saving on eggs, and bread wasn’t a saving because the bread quality was poor. Not worth the extra hassle when I still have to go elsewhere for some items or have the convenience of better budgeting from online shopping.

Does not surprise me, but Aldi doesn’t offer home delivery – and I need that because of my disabilities.

Aldi is fine for fresh produce and some other products but just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean it’s good.

    We shop around for the best fresh food.

Absolutely not surprised, but I really don’t like a lot of the pantry items at Aldi. Woolworths rewards are currently the best incentive, Flybuys never offer points for anything I actually buy. I have over $100 to put towards family Christmas lunch on my woolies card, woo!
I shop everywhere, but I always check catalogues and have meal plans ready to go before I start.

Aldi is cheapest and we don’t have one here in Tas. I shop Coles, Woolies and IGA and grab the specials

I’m not convinced. I like certain brands that they don’t stock and always shop my pantry & freezer staples when they are on good specials. So much more variety in the bigger stores and better specials.

I think overall Aldi is cheaper on regular everyday items BUT if you have the time shopping the specials ( especially 1/2 price) from each store works out even better.
