Nothing even remotely like real chutney.

And that is one hell of an inditement of Aldi
given that it is one of the most common spices.

Yeah, its essential for some recipes.

Because its one of the most commonly bought spices.

That's for a completely different reason, the very thin margins in grocery.

BULLSHIT. Leaves Coles for dead. WWs has had self checkouts
for years now. Coles has only just added them and the fuckwits
don't even open them until about 9am because they don't have
enough staff to have someone in the self checkout area until then.

Not with online retail he ain't. BigW leaves him for dead there.

Bullshit.

Bullshit. The reason for the drop in profit just announced is
because of the reduction in prices. The volume hasn't dropped.

> losing customers

They can't have, the volume hasn't dropped.

But that is because our Ritchies IGA does fruit and veg and other
stuff popular here like Aldi does with full bins of stuff like apples,
pears, potatoes etc and full pallets of other stuff like canned
tomatoes and the bottles of tomato pulp the local wogs are into.

A pimple on the arse of the country.

Grand total of JUST 4 IGAs, nothing like what you claimed.

We've got two in a place much smaller than Campbelltown population wise.

If it had been, the ACCC wouldn't have allowed the 3 in Qld.

I don't buy that bikers claim.

Pure piss and wind and has no effect on Aldi.

Yeah, the few eggs I bother with I get at the farmers market.

Haven't bought any milk for what must be 30 years now
and I always bought UHT when I did still buy any. Only
ever used it in the coffee and I don't bother with coffee
anymore.
