Staples

Grocery Staple Prices at Every Supermarket in Australia

The ingredients our recipes call for most, priced at each supermarket the way the meal planner buys them: the best value per kilo, litre or item at every store, whether that’s a big brand or the store’s own.

All matches Exact matches only

Each store’s best value for the staple, its own brand included: the way the meal planner buys.

60 everyday staples priced at 3 supermarkets in Australia. Aldi is the best value overall: the lowest price on 34 of the 56 staples it sells, and level-lowest on 2 more.

Each store shows its best-value product for the staple, compared per unit. “Same product” marks the row’s own product; the others are different products that are still that ingredient — often the store’s own brand. Best value marks the one store with the lowest price; when stores tie, each is marked Equal price. A staple sold by the item at one store and by weight at another is flagged as not like for like and has no winner. The overall winner is the best value on the most staples, with equal prices breaking a level count, and the stores are ranked in that order. “Typically dearer” is the middle of each store’s unit-price gaps to the top store across the staples both sell, so a single spice jar cannot swing it. Prices are in-stock shelf prices confirmed in the last 8 days.

TotalThe 56 staples every store sells, at the shelf price of each store’s pick. Pack sizes differ, so this is what you’d pay, not a per-unit comparison.	$294.62	$345.43	$282.67Lowest total
Pack sizesHow much product each store’s packs hold, over the 53 staples sold by the same unit everywhere. Each staple is valued at Woolworths’s unit price, so an extra 100 g of spice counts for more than an extra 100 g of potatoes.	12% more product than Woolworths	37% more product than Woolworths	The baseline

Pack sizesHow much product each store’s packs hold, over the 53 staples sold by the same unit everywhere. Each staple is valued at Woolworths’s unit price, so an extra 100 g of spice counts for more than an extra 100 g of potatoes.
