To be honest that's a larger gap than I thought it would be. Although specials usually seem to be rotated, I thought they both matched each other's regular prices to the cent
Yeah I had assumed a smaller gap too. Or is that part of the collusion too - the appearance of competition and consumer choice?
I really need to shop at ALDI more.
ALDI is pretty terrible if you don't have a really basic White Australian diet. Lack of range has always been the reason I avoid doing big shops there.
I get what you're saying. They've got the basic Aussie Italian, Mexican, Asian covered. You'll never beat shopping at the specialty supermarket/shop for whatever cuisine you're cooking.
But as a somewhat counterpoint to this, I quite enjoy their weekly(?) deals where they have mostly pantry foods and specialities from a particular country. Sure, they're not available all the time, but there's been plenty of times I've gone 'OMG, it's xyz from country 123!' and you'd be lucky to find it anywhere in Australia. My eyes must've bugged out of my head when I saw they had white asparagus 🤣
