Take stock of WHVer's favorite supermarkets, Woolworths and Coles are the highest, ALDI because of price advantage ranking, the rest is IGA also a lot of people patronize.
1, pay attention to supermarket discount brochures, which often have discount promotion information, very cost-effective.
2. Discount before closing, fresh early morning meat
Supermarkets usually have unexpected discounts before they close, such as roasted chicken and fresh bread that have to be sold during the day, and the closer they close, the lower the price. On the contrary, fresh food needs to be bought early in the morning, especially meat, Woolworths and Coles meat is the best time when the supermarket opens in the morning, which is actually a concept of catching up with the early market in China.
3. The self-owned brand of the supermarket is more valuable.
Local supermarkets in Australia have their own brands, such as Woolworth's homebrand, Coles's coles.. Sixty-five percent of Australians like to buy supermarket brands because their prices are always the lowest, and some can be more than half cheaper, and the quality is no worse than the big brand.
Woolworth and Coles's own juices, the cheap 2L just 2 bucks, and pure taste, taste not sour.
Coles's GreekStyleNaturalYoghurt, which sells for just $3.90 a kilogram, does rank highest among dozens of Greek yoghurt on the market.
In addition, drawing paper such as Woolworth and Coles, are 95-cent a box, calculated down to less than one knife, it is completely painless.
So, instead of spending more than 50% on big brands, it's better to buy economic directly from supermarket brands, and you can save a lot of money in the long run.
4, try to buy fruits and vegetables that season. Many newcomers to Australia will think, "God, how come food is so much more expensive than meat, and fruit is more expensive than food?" This impression is largely due to the fact that you are buying anti-season fruits and vegetables.
Australian beef, pork and chicken are cheap, and milk is almost cheaper than water. Supermarket vegetables most cheaply are onions, potatoes and carrots, leafy greens are not cheap in non-discount periods, fruits, oranges, oranges often see a large bag selling for only about $3, while apples are relatively expensive.
5. avoid buying parcels,
In supermarkets as much as possible to buy bulk or genuine food, the division will often be more expensive than the whole package, because Australia's labor is very expensive, and the separation cost labor. The most classic is watermelon, full-length, split can sometimes be 2 times worse.
Avoid shopping at convenience stores.
The ubiquitous convenience store appears to be handy, but the price is usually much more expensive than the big supermarket, especially the small supermarket next to the 7-11 or the gas station. The same applies to vending machines.
7,Costco. As anyone familiar with Australia knows, you have to go to Costco. to buy something that is "cheap and big bowl".
Costco is a large wholesale store with a membership-based warehouse with a membership fee of 50 Australian dollars a year. Only cardholders can enter it (cardholders can bring one into the store), so it has become the world of purchasing agents.
And Costco is probably the cheapest place to buy wine in Australia, wholesale selling a large number of famous wines, even our national wine Maotai and some Chinese beer, the price is far lower than buying outside. Costco snacks serve a large, cheap price, suitable for a small group of people to eat.
Most importantly, Costco's fruit is cheaper than ordinary supermarkets and, regardless of its freshness, taste and color, is far superior to other stores on the market.
