Helping the Shoppers of Werriwa Make Informed Choices at the Checkout

The Albanese Government today welcomes the release of CHOICE's first quarterly report into supermarket prices.

Werriwa residents are experiencing cost-of-living pressures, and we know that a lot of that pressure is piled on at the cash register.

This research will help consumers make more informed choices so they can get cheaper prices at the checkout.

The Albanese Government provided CHOICE with 17 on a basket of 14 typical grocery items.

The average basket price for Aldi, Woolworths and Coles nation-wide was:

• Aldi: 68.58 (without specials), 69.33 (without specials), 63.22 (without specials) 50.82
• Woolworths: 69.80
