Prices are not down Mr Coles !!
Jul 29^th, 2012 at 11:40am

So much for prices are down at Coles Sad

I run out of my Aldi's brand equivalent of All-bran so went down to Coles expecting to pick up the equivalent in size and price which is 525 grams for $2.99.

So where the bugger is it in Coles ?? Nowhere to be found !! Not even a home brand offering. What a fricken gimmick !! I had to pay 5 bucks for what normally cost me 3 at Aldis !! I didn't buy it of course.

Lets hope that Coles and Woolies will implode chasing each others prices down and Aldis will come out the winner Wink

And Dick Smith can shut his face too. All to long these retailers have been gouging the consumer with their gimmicks and ripoffs Sad

And as for their gimmicky shopper dockets and a measly 4 cents off per liter the day of reckoning will come when people switch over to electric cars or plugin hybrids Cheesy

LOL

The only boxes at coles were $2.50 each. They had run out of all the normal $1 boxes. What a rip-off. Down down - prices are down - bullshit.

whatever prices are down you can get the equivalent at Aldis and they know it too. People forget that it was Aldis that always offered cheaper milk and bread so Coles and Woolies jumped on the bandwagon and followed suit.

And the other good thing about Aldis is the prices are the same at every shop unless the good is specifically marked down.

Yeah but Aldis didn't have a multimillion dollar advertising campaign about it including paying 'news' agencies to report on it like its actual 'news'.
So Coles and Woolies win..Sorry

They are bad.

If you want good coffee, don't buy processed crap.

Well I would rather drink mud then there coffee which without researching I know would contain high levels of dangerous ingredients and processing chemicals etc..

But you buy whole beans, grind them and roast them yourself if you want good coffee!

But Aldis doesn't have to spend millions on advertising because everyone already knows it's a good deal Wink
