I wandered into Aldi's Parramatta store at lunchtime mainly to get out of the heat. I didn't have my glasses with me and I found it difficult to tell what items were brand names and which ones were Aldi's home brand. I ended up leaving without buying anything.....

It's Mrs Andrei

You might have had the same problem in Woolies or Coles......without the glasses.

I tend to agree with this... not everyone reads bloody labels...they see something looks familiar..why wouldnt it be what you think it is??

if a bloke went in and bought a set of golfclubs because they looked almost identical to the ones he thought he was buying..only to find it was a generic brand with a good disguise.. do you think he would be ropeable???? I am sure he would...

well its the same with us we see a product a shampoo it looks exactly the same as the one we always buy.. only it isnt.. are we going to take the lousy bottle of shampoo back to the shop?????????..its annoying it isnt fair and it isnt right either... its called cheating as far as I am concerned.

why copy someone else if you have such a good product?

The thing is cods, Aldi very, very rarely carry 'brand names', so shoppers know that the product is from some other company.

They have Nescafe coffee and vegemite, apart from those two, I don't think they have any other brand name products, they could, but harldly any.

A person would have to pretty stupid to not know this.

Aldi shoppers are well aware of the product lines because they are sensible people, that's why they shop at Aldi

Cods is pretty stupid though Wink

The big two have concocted this "code of conduct", carefully crafted to suit their own business plan, and now they are trying to force Aldi into it.
The only reason for that is that they are feeling the heat from Aldi and it may put price pressure on Aldi if it signs up.
So now they are making threats about intellectual property, pointing out that Aldi's home brands often have a similar appearance to national brands.
Who cares? What they don't have is the extortionate prices of the brands sold by the big two.

These guys have got so used to pushing markets, suppliers, consumers and governments around that they have forgotten Aldi is a bigger business than the two of them put together.
Pull your heads in barrow boys and start giving your customers a fair deal!

That's funny though because I thought that Coles and Woolies got up to the same tricks with their premium homebrand stuff Wink

Aldis would be wise not to have anything to do with these two harvey norman equivalent of supermarkets Wink

Oh they do, but they're just jealous of Aldi's profits.

Aldi know how to grow their customer base. Superior parking, fast service, quality product, good selection and best of all, low prices.

I heard that Aldis won't come to Perth unless they can open on the weekends. Have things changed ?

People don't give s h i t for brand names. What they want is a quality and chiper price.
