Aldi is significantly cheaper than major Aussie supermarkets for a Christmas grocery basket, a survey shows.
A survey by consumer group Choice shows Aldi is significantly cheaper than major Australian supermarkets for a typical Christmas party grocery basket, priced at $72.41 compared to $98.98 at Woolworths, $100.04 at Coles, and $109.25 at IGA.
The basket of 20 items, including staples and festive foods, was tested across 104 stores in September, with Aldi remaining the lowest price even with promotions.
The data is part of a quarterly series launched in June 2024 with federal funding to boost price transparency.
New federal rules banning excessive pricing took effect in July, allowing fines of up to $10 million or 10% of annual turnover for violations.
These rules target large retailers like Coles and Woolworths, which face scrutiny for operating as a near-duopoly with limited competition and record profits.
Industry groups have criticized the price controls.
