we do a big shop 500 plus or so every fortnight but we swap where we shop and use our cards to get the 10 % OFF twice a month, then we shop at different stores for things we might run out of, we are really lucky we have 5 major stores all within a few kilometers

But does using more petrol justify your savings at different stores?

I try and manipulate the system to get as many points as possible from my main supermarket. but I still shop around to.

1.

I use Aldi and Woolworths, using the 10% off with Woolworths once a month. Aldinga fruit and veg not as fresh

I usually use ax many coupons as I can

Giant Eagle Grocery Store in Brunswick, Ohio is good also they have Curbside & Delivery

I avoid going to supermarket,I try to get my own veg and fruits,also rescued foods from restaurant surpluses.

also, the lack of shopping that I get to choose from.

Working in a supermarket I find people like to know where to easily find items, shelves full and replenished and have friendly staff to help.

5pts I just use one because I know where everything is!

No

I shop around to get the best prices as grocery prices have increased significantly.

Price and quality are most important to me with loyalty points simply a bonus.

Mainly the one store unless something good on special at others

I use Aldi or Foodworks .. Don't have to walk miles past thousands of meters of unhealthy ???.... If i want to exercise There are much nice parks and bush in our area. As for Loyalty points, never wasted time. I save more buying less

4 points yayy

4 points for No I use several stores to get the best prices. I shop at Aldi, Woolworths and Coles at Warringah Mall which is just across the road from me. Every Wednesday I go over to the Mall and pick up the three weekly catalogues then go home and pick out all of the Specials. I then have until the following Tuesday to go shopping for them, especially the half price ones which I stock up on.

I shop at Aldi first, what I can't get from aldi I get from Woolworths and iga.

I do have a Rewards card for Woolworths, but living way up in the Far North there is only one supermarket and that’s Pack ‘n Save so I only get to use my rewards card when I travel over an hour South to the closest Woolworths

Yes..the staff in my local supermaret are wonderful! Getting Points is a bonus but I don't buy anything I don't need!!

Has anyone checked the specials for both supermarkets. Each week they alternate what they have. Both always have soda drinks ( ones I don’t drink), chips on special. So it’s like what the meerkats say in the ad. It pays to compare.Edited 25-Apr-25 13:02pm

My local W has done a great (stuff up). They rearranged all the shelves and now you need to have a compass and road map. Before I knew exactly where things were. They don’t use logic with the products. One would think all things linked to cooking would be in one aisle. No separate ones depending on what.

We don't shop at Aldi because their catalogue advertising is Dishonest and Deliberately Misleading. They also sent $AU421 million back to their Head Office in Germany in 2024, money lost to the Ausrtralian Economy forever. They, like all Foreign Owned companies simply see Australia as a very profitable Cash Cow, they have no real interest in Australia or her people. My local Coles, though a relatively small supermarket, is wonderful. The Staff are fantastic.Now this is not a whinge but now that I am the last of my generation with all of the younger members of the family living Interstate I, like 1000s of other older people, have few friends left as they have all died, that visit to the Supermarket ensures we have some contact with other people, in ours we can have a friendly chat as we go through the checkout, the staff know our names, as we do theirs, so it makes for a pleasant time.

4pt I use two stores each for different things one has loyalty card the other not

I do an Aldi shop to get basics then top up shop at Woolies as I usually have egift cards I can use to pay for extras.

I use several brands as each does some things better than the others, so a weekly shop will be to 2 or 3 supermarkets

Pays to shop around

IGA, WoolWorth, Coles, Local Markets (not super market, like grocery stores and open market), Aldi, Spar, Food works. that's my options. Mainly IGA it is closest.

Nope. I go to where I get the best price for the item I want. I am signed up to NO "loyalty" programs...which, if you didn't know by now...are dataharvesting you...similar to what Fakebook did for years to use all the data to train AI. I don't need my purchases tracked by the store. I don't need a digital profile being made on my purchases, frequency of purchases etc., all in exchange for "loyalty" points. I pay cash or use my debit card and that's it. I am not loyal to any store or product.

Use the same one every week. pts

Browns Bay in Auckland its good because there is a Woolworths and a New World (the two main supposedly "competing" supermarket brands in New Zealand) directly across the road from each other, making it easy to stop in at both. Most other places they tend to be separated due to the selfish greed of each company continually trying to stop the other opening a branch nearby. Realistically, there is not any actual competition on prices. You might save a few cents here and there, but the two "competing" companies in New Zealand simply copy each others prices. (The same happens with pretty much everything else, such as petrol stations, etc.)

I shop between Woolworths and IGA as they are the two nearest grocery stores. Woolworths for my main shop as I have their frequent shopper card and joined the extra's program. small cost but a 10% discount once a month, an extra perk each month, and a discount at Big W each month. We love a couple of items from IGA so we shop there especially to get those now and again, but they are further away.

2pts. I use different stores and use delivery to home. When I go out for doctor appt. I shop in store at Rego's Market there the best in Strongsville, Ohio

We don’t have two, close to each other, but buy meat and frozen in one shop, and other items at another

No Loyalty cards are the biggest con out there. The rewards are build into the price of the goods. Also you got to spend a certain amount to receive points.

I shop between Coles and Aldi in Canberra as I am known and the prices are better than Woolworths

I shop between woolworths & coles each week and use both their loyalty programs. I buy what I need that is on special at the one that has it on special. I use the Flybuys points as flybuy dollars to stock up on my faves when they are on special and convert my Everyday rewards to QFF points.

Coles is definitely cheaper than woolies, iga, Foodland etc. Aldi is the cheapest but they don't carry what I need to buy for my grandson who has autism and is an extremely picky, fussy eater

I mainly shop at Coles, I do the surveys with flybuys and am in the top 1% my cokes app said, because over the cause of the year I got $1,000 of flybuy dollars. Which i saved up and when I had 2 weeks off work last year I used my flybuys money to buy groceries!! I LOVE getting something nice and cheap , that's what I brag about not how much I soent... so yeah I add up as much as I can because I absolutely use it to the best of my abilities:) I mean who wouldn't want $1,000 of free food in this economy ??

I have a “go to” store with the best everyday prices and shop a couple of others with the best sales.

Hi iam Lilly iam new here ??

Different products, different shops.

Where I live there's only one supermarket which is Woolworths not much choice don't have a car

Nope, i shop in all 3 or 4, depending on price and use by dates i like bang for my buck

4 points for, No! Monday I go to Walmart first, then to Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. On Tuesday, I go to the Commissary on base to get whatever I didn't buy at the other 2 stores! ;-D

Lots of one pointers lately. I will be shopping later than usual. Edited 25-Apr-25 22:37pm

I get gas points by being loyal to one store.

I go to 3 or 4 stores if I have to for the deals. I often just take my flyers to my main store and price match what I can there. IF something isn't in the flyer to price match AND it's a good deal, I'll drive across town and get a few things while I'm out.

I use the nearest grocery store to me (since I don't drive) that doesn't have a loyalty card program in place!

APB, this would make an excellent discussion😁

I have a main one I use closest to me and get a members discount occasionally..Sometimes I will use a choice of 2 other supermarkets if I am near those for a change of scenery and products.

I used to shop at just one store but with the price gouging, so called specials, etc. I decided to look around. I now go to 3 different supermarkets plus a green grocer.
