AJ SadauskasRecently, I've been trying to find ways to avoid the Colesworths supermarket duopoly as much as possible. I'm pulling together a cheat sheet of alternatives. If you have any suggestions you can recommend, please leave them as a comment. Some will be more expensive (IGA and Foodworks), but others (like grocery clearance stores and Aldi) less so. Hopefully it balances out. It's also important to note there's likely to be far more alternatives if you're in Melbourne or Sydney than a remote or rural area. The starting point is to stop thinking in terms of a one-stop shop. Even if you're in a very Colesworth dependent town, even shifting some of your grocery shopping to a local bakery or green grocer is a win. The starting point: Shopping local. If there's a local bakery, green grocer, deli, butcher, etc., then support them. A good tip on this front is discount chemists often stock toiletries and household cleaning products at prices comparable to Colesworths. If it's available: Grocery clearance stores (even if it's just once a week). * Beyond Best Before in Sydney: <a href="https://beyondbestbefore.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://beyondbestbefore.com.au/</a> *NQR in Melbourne and Adelaide: <a href="https://nqr.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://nqr.com.au/</a> * Factory Food Sales Melbourne and Geelong: <a href="https://foodfactorysales.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://foodfactorysales.com.au/</a> * Savemore Melbourne: <a href="https://www.savemore.net.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.savemore.net.au/</a> * Discount Grocery Store Albury–Wodonga: <a href="https://discountgrocerywarehouse.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://discountgrocerywarehouse.com.au/</a> * Cheaper Buy Miles Melbourne: <a href="https://www.cheaperbuymiles.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.cheaperbuymiles.com/</a> Next: Is there a farmers market in your area? * <a href="https://farmersmarkets.org.au/find-a-market/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://farmersmarkets.org.au/find-a-market/</a> If not, there's some services offering direct produce from farmers: * <a href="https://farmerspick.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://farmerspick.com.au/</a> * Happy to hear more recommendations The obvious one is Aldi, although it doesn't stock everything. And then IGA or Foodworks. It is more expensive, but it's more of a backfill for things you can't get elsewhere. Even if there's no local IGA in your area, many stores offer free delivery for orders over $100: <a href="https://www.igashop.com.au/delivery" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.igashop.com.au/delivery</a> For our babies, we're tending to bulk order from Pet Circle.
