Second quarterly supermarket survey highlights importance of shopping around for specials: CHOICE
CHOICE has today released the results of the second wave of its quarterly, government-funded report on supermarket prices across Australia.
In June, the consumer group visited 104 supermarkets across the country, including Aldi, Coles, Woolworths, and IGA, and again recorded the prices of 14 common grocery items.
The data is a reminder that genuine specials can make a difference when it comes to saving money at the supermarket.
The cost of both Aldi and Coles baskets including specials have dropped since our first survey, while the price of the Woolworths basket with specials has increased.
“When looking at prices with specials, Woolworths has slipped from second to third place in this wave of research. The Woolworths basket cost $68.37, compared to $64.93 in March. Coles, however, came down in price with our basket of 14 items costing $66.22, compared to $68.52 in March,” says CHOICE CEO, Ashley de Silva.
