Do not let the major supermarket to be your single source of groceries! There are many more groceries shops around you, and some of the item they offered are slightly less than Coles or Woolworths.
One of the supermarket worth mentioning is Aldi.
Aldi is short for “ALbrecht DIscount”, is a discount supermarket chain based in Germany. These are a few of ALDI stores around Brisbane Area.
What grocery item is cheaper than Coles and Woolworths?
From my personal experience. I think the snacks, biscuits and food items are cheaper than Coles. Besides that, I have to chance to taste other country’s snacks. Staying in Brisbane for so many years, I became bored with the choices they offer. Aldi provides alternatives for your taste buds.
Other than that, daily goods are cheaper than Coles and Woolworths too! Such as dish washers (that came up first in my mind actually) and JUICES! Ah ha!! The juices are cheapest! AUD1.50 to AUD2 for a big bottle of juice!
Hold back your shopping splurge
Do not go berserk and buy many unnecessary thing because it is cheap! Watch for you wallet! However there are certain items are slightly expensive than Coles and Woolworths. Be cautious! I used to buy everything I see it’s cheap and regret later on. Don’t go “all out” when I say Aldi is good place to save money. Only certain items are cheaper! (cheaper by significantly).
They offer some deals online too. Check out their latest catalogues here.

Coffee beans from German?
Becareful, some of the ALDI brand food. There are not really healthy, although, there are cheap. Need to become wise consumer.
@TSM – We, as the consumer, has to be always cautious when purchasing food. I guess many people will learn to make smart choices after experience (and actually learn how the foods are being processed). I actually studied these kind of things so I am aware, one golden rule though – stick to foods which are closest to their original state. e.g. buy fresh tomato instead of ketchup, you know what I mean?
