Aldi vs Coles vs Woolworths: Same Basket, Big Difference (2026)

I priced the exact same grocery basket at Aldi, Coles and Woolworths in June 2026, 25 everyday items, same brands and sizes wherever possible, all checked on the same day. The difference between the cheapest and dearest shop was over $15 on a single basket, and a few results genuinely surprised me. In this video I take you through the full price comparison: every item, every price, and the final totals. I also show where each supermarket actually wins, because the cheapest store overall is not the cheapest on everything, and knowing the difference is where the real savings are. What's in the basket: milk, bread (plus a gluten-free option), eggs, pasta (plus GF), diced tomatoes, tinned beans, rolled oats, beef mince, chicken breast, butter, tofu, cheese, instant coffee, tea, rice, carrots, brown onions, potatoes, apples, bananas, mandarins, and frozen veg.
