The cheapest supermarkets revealed and which states have the most exxy groceries
Aldi is the cheapest supermarket for Australians, according to Choice.
It found a full basket of 14 items cost $55.35 at Aldi, $58.92 at Woolworths, $59.22 at Coles and $69.74 at IGA.
The basket included 10 fresh items and four frozen items.
Choice has revealed what was inside the basket for the first time as part of its investigation, which was released on June 25.
Items included bulk-packed chicken breasts, carrots, Royal Gala apples, Cavendish bananas, strawberries, butternut pumpkin, garlic, brown onions, Sanitarium Weetbix, full cream milk, drinking chocolate, vegetable stock, sour cream, and quick oat sachets.
The Choice analysis also found that where you lived made a difference to how much you paid, with Western Australians usually paying more than their eastern state counterparts.
Shoppers in NSW paid less than in other states at Woolworths and IGA; those in the ACT and NSW got the best deal at Aldi; and Queensland shoppers paid less at Coles.

Choice chief executive Ashley de Silva said Aldi had the best prices on a range of items.
"Without specials, Woolworths had the cheapest chicken breasts and pumpkin, while Coles had the best deal on apples," said Ms de Silva.
"At IGA, you paid less for carrots and garlic than at the three other supermarkets.
"For all other products in our basket, Aldi is your best bet."
She advised people to check the unit pricing, keep an eye on specials, shop around, and try homebrand products.
