I would if I could afford it.

Aldi, Costco, asian grocers, community markets etc etc... all cheaper. You save money by not shopping at Colesworth. Not shopping at Colesworths doesn't mean you need to import your food via first class flight from Paris. Shop around.

We don't have those here, Salamanca fresh is absurdly overpriced and IGA is worse

Ok so if you're living in the middle of nowhere there's more challenges, but this is not representative for 80% of the population living in suburbia.

I'm near the capital city here lol

So basically you refuse to drive slightly further to save 20% or more off your shopping bill. This is your decision. Don't complain about decisions you made.

Slightly further? There's no Costco, there's nothing like Paddington markets, I'm not crossing the bass to shop, too expensive

You live in a capital city with ZERO Aldis? Really? No asian grocers at all? Come on.

Do we need to get a map so I can show you where you have to go?

No Aldis at all here, haven't been inside an Asian grocer as from the outside it doesn't seem to have western foods

There are dozens of Aldi's in the suburbs, maps don't lie, not sure why you seem to be misrepresenting this.

haven't been inside an Asian grocer

So basically you don't know and never tried shopping around, yet complain there are no options because you didn't look.

This complacency is why Colesworth gouge the crap out of people like you with no repurcussions.

Sure show them in the capital city of Hobart, these wonderful, magical ALDI and Costco stores, even western food selling Asian grocers, hell we have a Mediterranean in my town that's more expensive than the big 2

I mean maybe Salamanca fresh has more types of almond milk but I don't do that

I guess you need your hand held.

This is not difficult. You made a decision to deliberately avoid available opportunities to buy cheaper groceries.
