ShopHop tracks a basket of 20 essential staple items across all three chains. The total is kept current using live prices. Aldi is consistently the cheapest option for this basket, and the gap to the two major chains has stayed wide across the tracking period. The live figures are on the comparison page above.
Why grocery prices keep rising
Grocery inflation in Australia has been driven by a combination of genuine cost increases and, in some cases, promotional pricing practices that a Federal Court found to be misleading. In May 2026 the Federal Court ruled that Coles had misrepresented the savings available under its Down Down programme across 245 products. ShopHop exists to give Australians an independent, data driven view of what supermarkets are actually charging.
