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 latest 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 in 13 of 14 sample Down Down tickets examined at trial; the ACCC's case covers 245 products and penalty is yet to be decided. ShopHop exists to give Australians an independent, data driven view of what supermarkets are actually charging.
