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

You got two options here. So which one are you going to choose? hmmmm?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
I go for whatever the cheapest; Woolworths, Coles, Aldi, my local greengrocer, Catch…
None of the above (unless absolutely necessary)
I can get almost everything I need from Aldi and IGA.
The IGA prices are so jacked up bro 😖
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.
