  1. Normal grpcery run is to Woolworths, then Aldi and finally Coles, each for certain goods, and some whoever has the best weekly specials. Also some separate trips to smaller grocery/supermarkets including IGA a small franchise of supermarket/grovlcery stores under IGA title (stands for Independant Grocers Associatio or similar), operating free from the big chains, and over years gathered numerous small family businesses under their joint purchasing fold, leaving them competitive, else these would die in competion to Woolworths, Coles, and Aldi, originally a German supermarket group There was actually another German chain about to move in too having commemced a large warehouse store near me, about 8km away. But around start of Covid, they suddenly abandoned plans, construction and sold up. Aldi was unique compared to Coles and Woolworths, in several aspects. No packing at checkout, you pack it yourself, and always a range of other goods than strictly groceries, cleaning products, personal care, meats, vegetables, fruits like the Woolworths and Coles. Aldi at various times have tools TV, ski gear clothing, garden items, almost anything at some time. Also Aldi generally does not carry major brand name goods, but quality smaller brands, at good prices. Many times, for items to be used in next few days, I will specifically seek the reduced price items, about to reach Best Before Date. Recently even had intended to use lots of milk, and had luck, a 2L milk reduced from $2.67 to $0.69, because it exprired the day before, and it was refused sale at checkout on the basis of prior day expiry, objecting that it was being used that day at home was rejected. I would think the checkout lady took it home herself. If kept refrigerated milk easily keeps for many days byond stated Best By Date. I was most annoyed and bought milk at normal price elsewhere. By the way under current COVID my shopping is done for a couple of hours once per two to three weeks, lots in a freezer or fridge and much in sealed packages until needed. Fresh vegs and fruit running out by next shopping, bread some home baked, but multi grain/whole grain bread can last over a week, sadly not the supermarket stuff as it is prepared long before on sale, and commonly goes off witin 5 to 7 days. A fresh baked loaf at a small country bakery, I once had good slices used 3 weeks after I bought it. Only the multi/whole grain lasts, the over processed soft white bread most people buy goes off within a couple of days. Nothing beats fresh baked bread though, prepack/supermarket bread is rubbish compared to nice fresh loaf.
