- Today tells all! Aldi, Woolworths and Coles go head to head in a price comparison video!
All totals are based on a "one stop shop" concept. They have been calculated based on the items I would personally pick off the shelves if I had taken my list to each store and done our weekly food shop.

No part of this video is sponsored. Prices mentioned may vary from the time of filming and not necessarily always correct. This content is for entertainment purposes only.
All prices you see in this comparison were collected at the time of filming this video. Prices change frequently due to the supermarkets promotional schedule. Some days you can get an absolute bargain, some days you are paying top dollar. The totals were calculated using the figures shown on screen during the video at the cost they were at the time (sale items were added at their sale price, not full price).
I always go for the most cost effective option and not afraid of going for the home brand items, in some instances I have tried the home brand items in the past but didn't like (as per the dish washing liquid mentioned) and no longer purchase, therefore have added the cost of the item I would purchase to the totals today.
Items have been chosen on a like for like basis - down to ingredient's, protein content or organic goods and have been matched comparably.

DOWN DOWN used to be part of the Coles jingle until recently, they have changed it now to UP UP.
😂🙌🏻 UP UP is right! Goodness me, the cost of everything is mad!
Up up prices are up 🎵
I go to all 3 Aldi, Coles and Woolworths and get what ever is the best deal at each. It's cheaper than shopping at just one. Fruit and veg is cheaper at local fruit and vegetable shop than any of the supermarkets
Bargain chaser! Great work 🌼
I love Aldi!
I know they don’t have everything but still makes a massive difference on how much you save.
The prices you ended up with also included quite a few ‘special’ prices from Coles & Woolies whereas ALDIs prices only really fluctuate and go on special with the fruit & veg and everything else you know is pretty much going to stay the same price week to week.
If those items that were on special had not been it would’ve made both totals even higher.
I used to do the majority of my shopping based on the specials at both Coles and Woolies and I was still spending more than at Aldi 😆
Yeah! Absolutely Aldi is always consistent and just makes it so much easier, a great one stop shop! I love going to the farmers market to support local but at the same time if we happen to have plans at the same time the market is on it makes it tricky! Aldi has amazing finds too! They really are Good different 🙌🏻😂💃🏻
ALDI first class quality. Cant beat the prices. Usually about 30% cheaper
Great video! It should be emailed to every household in Australia. Coles and Woolworths are a rip off. They play marketing games with their prices while Aldi just generally sticks to cheaper prices all the time. Quality is if anything better at Aldi too.
Thank you! There really are s true gems at Aldi!
Aldi is also the same when i check the price of some things Aldi have less price and less quantity its the same thing at the end of the day you get 500g of onions for 2 at aldi and 1kg for 4 in coles.
Someone reacted to your video and I had to come and ‘like’ your original, you put in so much work! Sadly there isn’t an Aldi within a hundred kms of me, but since Covid we have been bulk buying a few of our most used staples online for home delivery. Makes the weekly Coles shop a bit easier and cheaper.
I love shopping at Aldi too! I didn't know there were Aldi locations in other countries too :) They seemed to have the best prices overall compared to the other stores. I was so surprised that avocados only cost .99 cents! The prices of bacon and meat were great here too. It's so expensive everywhere else! I wonder why the sweet potatoes were so expensive at Aldi compared to the other stores, haha! Ooo, I will have to go pick up some shampoo, soap, and shower gel at Aldi now! The prices there are great. Interesting that the chip prices were about the same overall :)
Love how you show the prices of other stores on the screen 😁👍
Woolies & Coles actually do have in store bakery and make their own melting moments however when you are online shopping they won't always show you homebrand / on site products which can be very frustrating for online shoppers! There would only be a few dollars savings on some products for the totals but still the overall results won't change.
This is great! I would love to see this done again now as it’s 10 months on and groceries are so much more expensive now. Please would you consider doing this again? 😊
I am now leaving Australia, have been a busy bee selling all our belongings and we are off to travel the world but maybe one day when back in Oz I can re do it :)
@@zeishasjourney
Have a wonderful time travelling & keep safe
Awesome Job! Please keep updating these time to time😁😁
Thank you, I'll try and do another soon! ☺️
Thanks for sharing. Think I’ll be trying a shop at Aldi next week! It was great to see side by side comparisons.
Your welcome! If you get the chance definitely let me know how much you end up saving! I definitely wasn't expecting it to be THIS much! Both Coles and Woolworths are slightly closer in distance for us hence we fell into the habit of shopping there often but definitely driving the extra few minutes when needing a one stop shop from now on 🙌🏻
I was in Aus for few weeks.....I was hoping to find atleast few of my favorite products from Aldi (UK) in Aldi (Australia), but was disappointed that I didn't find any of those.......generally speaking, Aldi (UK) has better variety and product range compared with Aldi (Aus)
Great vid on the 1 shop! I generally start at the Aldi first, then hit woolies...so guess I do the 2 shop for our family (y)
There definitely is a few items Aldi is missing but getting most items there first is the perfect way to do things 🙌🏻☺️
thanks for spending your time to calculate the differences! i do a mix of coles and Aldi, as i am GF and LF so some of the foods i have to go to coles for. But yes Aldi is amazing if you are watching your money. Thanks again
You are so so welcome! 😊 that’s a good combo between those two supermarkets. I am definitely making the effort to do my big shops at Aldi! The outcome of this video really shocked me! 🙈! I hope you have had a wonderful Fri-yay 💃🏻☺️
Great video. Quite a difference there. 1 stop shopping is great. If you go to multiply places, any savings you got on items would be used up in fuel to get to the other stores...(unless you're in a plaza, lol)...I love the middle isle of Aldi. Going there today for bathroom stuff...
I was absolutely shocked at the difference! We are trying to get to the local farmers market when we can and the Butcher but it’s not always possible as they are very much set times and sometimes it doesn’t always fit with our other plans. So relying on one quick shop on a weekend day is a must. I’m just annoyed at myself for going woolies and coles sooo long now 🙈 lesson learned! And ohh yes the middle isle is amazing!!! 💃🏻 Did you find anything there today?
@@zeishasjourney bought 2 over-the-wall acrylic shower caddies. One for inside the shower and one outside. Got all the shampoo bottles off the floor and outside, I have all my face/beauty products in easier, nicely contained reach...
I'm a Coles girl through&ghrough , Plus I love FlyBuys but after watching this will try Aldi this week cause food prices are just going up & up. Thank you for this video 🥰
You are so so welcome! I was I the habit of shopping at woolies as it is closest to us but I am definitely breaking that habit now 😂🙈 the petrol for the extra driving time definitely doesn’t cost that much 🤩🙌🏻
Chicken thigh fillet is cheaper/taste better/more meal options.Breast sometimes dries & toughens
Great video! I’ve been thinking about hitting up Aldi and now I think I will. The only thing I love about coles is flybuys 😆
I am not on the flybuys train but maybe I am missing out 😂😅
Great to see these comparisons
Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Thank you. Very informative
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank u for this video, i am a sahm with 2 under 3 and with the cost of living at the moment really considering shopping at aldi now 😊
It is soo much cheeper! I have converted a lot of my friends too!
Incredibly thorough video I appreciate the amount of time and effort you put into it! Can I please encourage you however to please not buy bottled water it's incredibly bad for the environment and it's basically just tap water! You can buy fantastic reusable water bottles and I have a filter jug that I bought from Target 😃
Hi Rosie, thank your for the kind message ☺️ you will be thrilled to know we have since installed a filter tap and no long buy or have to carry the huge amount of bottled water any longer 🙌🏻
Thanks for that very surprising ! I enjoyed it
You are so welcome!! 🌼
Loved this video, and love your grocery hauls. Would love to see more of these, I’ve just discovered your channel and enjoying it!
Hey J Pez!
Thank you so so much! I’ll have more coming very soon! Been super busy with “life” 😂 lol. Bronson has been taking the reigns on the weekly food shopping as I have been too busy but I’ll get back in to filming more again soon!
Look forward to seeing you in my next video ☺️ take care!
Awesome video would be great to see repeated compared to now.
I’m not in Australia at the moment, missing Aldi and their great prices 😅
Thank you so much for this video I always buy in coles and aldi but now I’m going to only buy at aldi xx
You are so welcome! It was definitely a lot more to calculate than I thought 😂😂 but I was too far in to back out of the video idea 🙌🏻🙈. You and me both 😅 the outcome completely shocked me!!! I hope you have had the best Fri-yay!!! ☺️
Thank you for the video
Hey Jessica ☺️ Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏻
I just purchased the sweet potato Gold from Woolworths here in Melbourne this week for $1.35 each.
Aldi is great but I can never do a full shop there as they don’t stock everything I need but majority of my shop is Aldi.
Also, Aldi have pork mince for $3.99, at woolies it’s $6 (was $7) not sure about coles😊
Absolutely, unfortunately there is the odd items here and there they don’t have 🙁. That is a fantastic deal on the pork mince!!! 💃🏻🥰 I hope you have had a fantastic day!
You only have to browse Woolies and Coles to know they are a lot more expensive. I see people doing a whole shop there, and wonder why. My main shop is Aldi, never had an issue with quality. I do go to woolies for a couple of things I can't get in Aldi.
🙌🏻 you are absolutely right, I agree it just takes 1 look! Many many people have commented shearing their thoughts about how Aldi isn’t cheeper 😂 so I wanted to show the proof in the pudding 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Thanks! Xx 😘
You are so welcome ☺️
Down down down is coles love x
Haha! I couldn’t remember 😂 thank you 🙏🏻! I hope you are having g a great weekend! 💃🏻
Thanks for doing this comparison. I have a shopping centre that has all 3 supermarkets under the one roof and I got to all 3 chasing specials and favourite items but I know this is costing me more as the more shops you walk into, the more likely to buy unnecessary items at the time. One stop shop is the best and will give Aldi a try for it all.
Let me know how you get on if you have the chance ☺️
I pick Woolies for the most expensive
Have you done a late night Coles run, to see what expired deals you can get at cents
Hate to say I’m normally in bed between 7 to 8:30 pm 😂😂😂
Aldi is great but there are always a few things you have to go to woolies or coles just to get a few things you cant get at aldi.
Yeah absolutely! Hopefully their range grows. Depending on the week sometime I pop into another store to get a few extras but most the time I just make meals that only require the ingredients Aldi stocks to save having to go to multiple supermarkets 😊
Mind blowing
Absolutely 😲😅
What about target 🎯? Is it cheaper or not ?
Hey Nour, I am based in Australia and Target doesn’t sell groceries here so I am unable to compare ✨
Very good video, but coles flybuys and Woolworths everyday rewards card are very good. coles also give free glassware or kitchenware every quarter for shopping frequently. there are lot more varieties in coles and Woolworths. more asian, indian Mexican and other cuisine items available. also you can self pay! you get at least $500-800 worth flybuys or quantas/rewards points every year if you buy for this much in coles or Woolworths. also do not forget 4c fuel discount at coles express and carltex stores.
I feel vegetables and fruits are cheaper in aldi. That reduced a lot from your bill. Also $11 was reduced just from that steak and $9 for that streaky bacon and $5 for water tank. You bought 3 so $15 extra. $8 extra for dove. Normally dove always comes for half price in Woolworths and coles at $7.50. its too dumb to pay $15 for Dove. which in total is $42 increase in coles and Woolworths bill. chicken breast has a bit more fat in it than coles/woolworths and its same price in aldi. butter same price. $2 added for that biscuit due to packet price which is double in quantity. There is home brand for pringles in Woolworths/coles and also that same price as in aldi. $4 added there into your bill. $5 added into Woolworths for organic eggs but they are 700g instead of 600g which you bought. you get organic paster raised egg for $9 in Woolworths, why get just organic for $11? you get free range for $5 which is same as in aldi.
i think $50-60 is bit too high for a normal person's shopping. if you exclude a bit of items you bought and do a bit more smart shopping choices i think I can reduce the bill difference to less than $5. which can be even reduced to 0 with flybuys or everyday rewards.
My recommendations.
1. buy affordable beef. like bolar blade or topside or chunk. its same price in aldi as well.
2. buy extra lean(95%) or lean(90%) beef mince. its not available in aldi. only regular available(83% lean) and its same price in Woolworths and coles.
3. buy different cuts of becon. there are cheaper cuts of becon/pork starting at $8.75 a kilo.
4. don't buy water tank. buy water bottles which are same price or else carry water from home in a container. why tank??
5. buy shampoo when there is half price.
6.buy home brand for chips. i think it was a comparison mistake in your video.
7. Don't buy all the vegetables in the store. try buying carrots, spinach, apple, oranges, cucumber, pineapple, pumpkin, onion, its pretty similar price in coles and Woolworths.
8. there are fruits not available in Aldi like kiwi, dragon fruit, nectarines, plum, raspberry, grape etc.
9. you didnt buy any staples like rice, wraps, bread, pasta, noodles, ginger garlic, spices, oil, lentils. staples are same price everywhere.
my suggestions to buy from aldi are
1. nuts
2. chocolates.
3. dutch pan and other high quality utensils.(not sure if they still sell them)
4. fruits and vegetables. specially banana and tomato. Aldi keeps banana right at the front to make everyone feel that aldi is cheaper.
being a person who has bought for all the stores, i feel like i wouldn't recommend Aldi.
if you are a smart buyer then coles and Woolworths would be cheaper in the long run for a minimum time frame of 1 year. buy during half price, stack up and use flybuys points and reward points which can be converted to quantas points.
all the best.
Thanks for sharing :)
just a little note to be very vigilant with the unit prices. As per your prices on screen, Coles is actually the cheapest for the berated cheese
Join us. Don't use self serve. All make a huge line up at the single check out chick. It's a laugh and so much fun putting your finger up at the self serve cattle stations!!
Absolutely 🙌🏻 protect our jobs!
@@zeishasjourneywell do it next time.. and film it! 15% sugar in the fake bacon.. enjoy!
😱 WOW
You wrap it up perfectly in one word 🙌🏻
I have found Aldi from my recent event hosting experience for my birthday to be the best place to get items for the cheese platter. Their biscuits/rice crackers, cheeses, and dips are of great value and taste. 😀I shopped around Woolworths and Coles when I was planning event, because they used to have good specials on cheeses, but now there are hardly any. So I had to go back to Aldi and pick up a couple of them. Other things we buy are brioche burger buns, quick rice (90sec) in packets when doing a stir fry, sliced cheese, and protein bread (that's amazing and has lots of fiber).😄 I only shop for truss tomatoes, because if tomato has no smell - means that it's lacking the taste 😋
Absolutely amazing value for the taste I agree!! Haven’t done a ol’ cheese board in ages! But Aldi definitely comes to the party with their prices on those goodies.
Ohh yes I have heard the brioche is good!!! I must pick some up my next shop! Ooooo I didn’t know about the protein bread, I’ll have to look out for it, I’m alway keen for protein that isn’t meat. 💃🏻 I hope you have had the most fabulous day! x
@@zeishasjourney Absolutely 😀..Protein bread is full of seeds and kind of rye bread. You too beautiful soul, have an amazing week ahead! 😘
The "protein yoghurt" doesn't have more protein added to it, its got less fat, making it a better protein/calorie ratio.
It is more commonly known as "non-fat greek yoghurt" if you were watching an american CZcamsr for example.
Also Woolworths does have its own brand one.
Thanks for sharing and stopping by! :)
I'm in North Carolina, USA. and my mouth hit the floor. I will no longer complain about prices. Banan's are about 0.48cents for six, a gallon of milk is about $1.54, eggs for a dozen are about $1.00 on sale or $1.75 not on sale. I get 18 eggs for $2.00. Peanut butter is $2 dollars, it's crazy expensive in Australia. youtube aldi shops in usa, to see some price comparisons.
It's sad to see both in Australia and New Zealand the cost of living. Thanks for sharing prices from other countries, it's so interesting.
Wow! How do your farmers make a living?! I have chickens and I couldnt cover costs if I sold eggs at $2 for 18!
❤
Bamboo in sausages at Woolworths 😂.
Just told my partner the price difference and he couldn’t believe it but wasn’t shocked when he heard woolies was most expensive
Yeah! I was absolutely shocked too!!!! It was definitely in the order I thought it would be in but not thaaaattttt much! 😱. Pays to keep in mind so I don’t fall in to bad habits of going to the closest supermarket 🙈😅. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a lovely Friday evening 💃🏻
Woolies the most profitable supermarket globally ... Shockers
I do most of my shopping g at Aldi but their bits grain just do not compare with vita weat at all. I threw a whole packet out because they were so bad.
Thanks again for watching!! I must say I was UTTERLY shocked at the results. Was your prescription correct?

not anymore a lot of average food, it's more expensive now and their's very low variety with their packaged dinners. Hope Tescos comes to our town, Dunnes Stores are crap and too expensive. Lidl is just a more expensive version of Aldi and Super Valu are way to expensive.
I mainly shop at ALDI and go-to woolies for my other products I can't get from aldi . As my mum wasn't to keen on aldi at first but has changed her mind
Its a shame they don’t always have absolutely everything but a great way to save as much as you can by shopping at Aldi first! 🌼
I only shop at IGA
We have only ever popped in to an IGA when on holiday. Often in the smaller towns we visit it’s the only option so we get a little few snacks and things. We haven’t done a full shop there before as we often stock up on supplies before travelling ☺️
@@zeishasjourney igas can be more expensive but I don't like buying cheap groceries
@@Jasmine199018 We are so lucky to live in a place where we have options and can individually make our own decisions on where we do our grocery shop. It can be too easy to take a weekly food shop for granted and the luxury of having wonderful food to eat as and when we want.
If you are going to do a comparison you must do like for like, eg dishwashing liquid Woolworths example was earth choice, the Woolworths brand liquid is much cheaper. There were a few examples like this.
Get yourself a rice cooker! They are so cheap and foolproof.
Great idea!! 🌼🙏🏻
That proves my theory that Coles is cheaper than Woolies but Aldi trumps them both
It sure does!!! 💃🏻
You’ve convinced me. I’m off to Aldi….🏃♀️
Definitely run don’t walk 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
All of this stuff will only last long for 1 week are you sure ?
Big eaters, haha, some ingredients might last longer but over all we do our food shop weekly. Thanks for stopping by.
Why don't you drink the free tap water?
Hey Jasmine, thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! I really appreciate the support ☺️. Great question! I soo miss the wonder pure tasting water from New Zealand right from the tap. Unfortunately the water passing through our tap here isn’t pleasant to drink.
Here’s a snip from an article I found:
‘Queensland government admits that tap water in the state can be “discoloured” due to the presence of iron and manganese, contaminated by corroded service pipes, and sometimes have “an unusual taste or smell”.’ If you are interested to read more heres the link to the full article: goldcoastplumbingexperts.com.au/plumbing-tips/gold-coast-tap-water/
Much more info on other sites too this is just one I found interesting 🙂🌼
Hope you have a lovely day! ☺️
@@zeishasjourney I have drunk water in Queensland without getting sick
@@Jasmine199018 Absolutely, it doesn't make you sick, it is safe drinking water.
Sure, if you wanna rusted water! Not everyone in Australia has good clean water from kitchen tap! My kitchen tap water here in Melbourne is yellow, because the pipes are rusted. It's an old house built in the 70s.
How can you call Aldi a one stop shop when you can’t get everything there?
Hi Jkl, thanks for stopping by. Individual preference. I know myself and many others are able to survive on only getting their food from Aldi stores. All individual perspective and personal wants vs needs. Have a great day :)
*How could you not show us the red meat 😢.* p.s. “organic eggs” means nothing. The healthiest eggs are “pasture raised eggs” these are chickens which have been fed an appropriate diet and not soy/corn feeds. It’s hard to determine which actually do it, but the more orange the yolks is and the harder the shell/yolk are to break are a good way to tell.
We aren’t really read meat eaters but we did get a lovely beef roast in our shop today! Video to come soon 💃🏻.
Yeah these days it’s a bit scary to think what we are actually eating. In same cases I thinks it’s best we are kept in the dark 😬.
Thanks so much for your tips! ☺️
@@zeishasjourney I would recommend trying “raw milk” from Coles too. It’s not pasteurised with heat (which destroys all the beneficial enzymes and vitamins) but with water instead so it retains all the benefits. I can’t drink that other milk anymore, it tastes so disgusting compared to actual real milk.
@@zippo_muk9254 I have given up on milk the last while, so unhealthy! And plant based milk just doesn't do it for me hah 🙈😂. Thank you so much for this recommendation I am definitely going to try it out. We try to go to the organic market and butcher when we can to keep the toxins down and I do notice a difference on the weeks we do eat mostly organic. This is a poor excuse but it is so much easier just doing a one stop shop at a supermarket when under a time crunch during a stressful week so we don't sources this better food often 🙈. My "when I grow up" dream is to have land and a vegetable patch of our own to enjoy. It's worrisome we don't have the some connection with food like we used to and all the added ingredients.
Yes, aldi is cheaper and have LIVE people on their checkouts to serve you .
The old fashioned way, unlike coles and woolies who shuffle you onto their automated card machines. It seems funny that aldi can still make good profit and have cheaper prices and still have people serving on the checkout.
I do not shop at coles and woolies anymore.
BOYCOTT THEM.
Australia last place I.n The world to have Woolworth s
Why are you buying water ? Aussie urban water doesn't have quality problems.
We tastes high levels of chlorine which doesn’t work for us! But absolutely tap water in Australia is safe to drink 🙌🏻
Why are you buying water lol australia was great water unless you are living super remote
Hey Ella,
The water is definitely amazing here in Australia but the pipes it travels through to get to our houses are not so good. We since have installed a water filter to filter the water rather than having to continue buying these bottles which is such a waste. Trying to be more eco friendly one step at a time ☺️
Sure, if you wanna rusted water! Not everyone in Australia has good clean water from kitchen tap! My kitchen tap water here in Melbourne is yellow, because the pipes are rusted. It's an old house built in the 70s.
That's your problem right there, you're trying to shop for healthy fresh foods. You need to go for the cheap processed mass produced foods which are generally taxed lower, you're a bad shopper to Coles and Woolworths, they want you to stay in aisles 3 to 10 which contain these processed foods.
Love Aldi products, but it is not worth saving few $ and be humiliated every time by young staff going through my bags at the end of my shopping
Just wondering when will they start looking through customers pockets
Woolworths staff is checking in more respectful manner
The good ol bag check! It definitely took us off guard the first time we shopped at Aldi as we had moved from overseas where Aldi wasn’t available. It can be a very unique experience 😂
If you are that concerned about budget, why in the heck are you paying for water?!
I’m thankful to not need to be concerned with a budget 🙏🏻 that being said I see no good reason to pay more for items when there is no need to do so 🙂
@@zeishasjourney that’s a fair point. It just seems a bit at odds trying to pinch pennies while paying for a free resource.
Burns your hands? Don't you wear latex gloves when washing the dishes? I buy boxes of gloves on eBay, works out cheaper.
Not so cheap anymore, things seem to go up each week, and were still blaming Covid and the war in Ukraine
