Aldi reveals ‘small details' that make shop cheaper than Coles, Woolworths
German discount giant Aldi has been growing in popularity amongst Australian shoppers and has been heralded as a cheaper alternative to the major players Coles and Woolworths. Now, the supermarket has revealed the small details that allow it to get the edge on competitors. Aldi was recently crowned Australia's best supermarket by shoppers in Canstar Blue's annual Supermarket Satisfaction Ratings for the eighth year in a row. It's also consistently beaten out Coles and Woolworths in CHOICE's government-funding shopping basket price comparison. Aldi Australia group director Simon Padovani-Ginies told Yahoo Finance the supermarket 'won't be beaten on the cost of your weekly shop'. He said the store's lower prices were achieved through 'fine-tuning even the smallest of details'. RELATED Costco reveals new Aussie warehouse as it competes with Coles, Woolworths Centrelink reveals 'common misconception' about $1,732 pension payment Major retirement mistake millions of Aussies are making So what does Aldi do differently from the big supermarkets? The supermarket revealed it starts the moment customers walk in the door. 'To grab a trolley, you pop in a gold coin or one of our famous trolley tokens,' an Aldi spokesperson said. 'This simple system encourages shoppers to return their trolleys so fewer replacements are needed and the team spend less time collecting them.' Woolworths and Coles also install coin locks on trolleys for a variety of reasons, including council requirements, but these are reviewed on a case-by-case basis rather than being applied across the inside, Aldi said the stores themselves had been set up to help keep its prices low. 'Every store is designed around the same familiar layout – about half the size of other supermarkets. That means lower overheads and a smoother shopping experience,' the spokesperson told Yahoo Finance. Woolworths and Coles, for instance, offer between 20,000 and 25,000 products, while Aldi Australia has just 1,800 items that customers can choose from. 'You'll also notice clever touches like digital price tags, oversized barcodes that make checkout faster, and packing benches so you can bag your groceries your way,' the spokesperson said. 'By sticking to this streamlined approach, ALDI can keep offering top-quality products at the lowest possible prices – delivering exceptional value to customers every day.' Aldi national buying managing director Jordan Lack previously told the ACCC's supermarket inquiry the supermarket also does not employ as many people as Coles and Woolies. They also don't operate in Tasmania or the Northern Territory, or offer online shopping for customers. The German chain also notably doesn't play music at its stores, which APRA AMCOS estimated could be saving it around $230 to $1,600 per year per supermarket. New shopping trends emerge as cost-of-living pressures continue Canstar Blue research found grocery spending had increased to $240 per week for the average household of four, up 11 per cent compared to the previous year. Shopping around and visiting more than one supermarket is now becoming increasingly common, with 61 per cent of shoppers visiting two or more stores each week to complete their shop. Canstar Blue spokesperson Eden Radford told Yahoo Finance shoppers were paying more attention to their spending to combat higher costs at the register. 'More than 80 per cent have changed how they shop, whether by looking at unit prices, buying marked-down products, choosing in-season fruit and vegetables, or swapping to frozen instead,' she said. The survey of 2,800 people found consistently low prices was the most important thing most shoppers wanted, across all products, not just specials. CHOICE's most recent price comparison found a 25 per cent difference between Aldi and IGA for the same 14 item basket of goods, and a smaller 6 and 7 per cent difference beetween Aldi and Woolworths and Coles respectively. Coles and Woolworths control about 67 per cent of the Australian grocery market, while Aldi has about 9 per cent and Metcash 7 per cent.
