Consumer group Choice published its quarterly report on grocery prices at Aldi, Woolworths, Coles, and IGA, examining the total cost of 14 popular winter items.

Choice evaluated essential items such as milk, Weet-Bix, apples, chicken breast, oats, onions, and bananas in 104 stores across 27 locations during March 2025, finding Aldi as the most economical option. “We’re continuing to crack down on unfair prices at the major supermarkets to ensure Australian consumers and farmers receive the best deal at the checkout,” Leigh stated.

“This latest Choice quarterly supermarket report funded by our government, provides a comparison of everyday grocery items for shoppers to make informed purchase decisions and save money.”

Choice chief executive Ashley de Silva said item costs varied between supermarkets, however Aldi still came out on top even when comparing against specials.

“Without specials, Woolworths had the cheapest chicken breasts and pumpkin, while Coles had the best deal on apples,” de Silva said.

“At IGA, you paid less for carrots and garlic than at the three other supermarkets. For all other products in our basket, Aldi is your best bet.”

Choice is set to release its next quarterly supermarket report in September.
