A new report finds groceries are getting more expensive at Woolworths but cheaper at Coles. The Choice price tracker shows the cost of shopping at Aldi barely changed between March and December 2024 in a quarterly assessment of 14 common items. #GroceryPrices #CostOfLiving #Woolworths #Coles #Aldi #PriceTracker #SupermarketWars #Australia

The Guardian · Groceries are getting more expensive at Woolworths but cheaper at Coles, report findsBy Catie McLeod
Continued thread

Here's the three shrinkflated items compared by price per 100ml or gram.

Guess what, it's worse :) (naturally)

idk about you all, but my salary has NOT experienced even remotely the same increases as those grocery items in this four-year span... hmmm...

ok so. I saw a Short yesterday from some dude who compared his 2022 Walmart order vs the same items in 2025. It went from something like $160 to $440 (!).

since I have today off, I went back to a grocery order from 2021 (pickup because covid) and did the same thing, grabbing current prices for each item.

.... I wished I hadn't

(this is in #Edmonton, #Alberta, Canada. Comparison for the "shrinkflated" items is in the next toot.)
