Aldi

For those who don't know, Aldi is a supermarket that stocks groceries that are similar to - but differently branded, and often cheaper than - those you would find at other supermarkets. I was surprised to discover that most of their products are Australian-made. Bayswater Aldi's convenient location makes it possible to pick up the basics before nipping over to the nearby Coles or Woolworths to find any brand-specific items. I will return, and I recommend Aldi to those who are trying to save money, or just curious about interesting groceries. However, I must warn you: shoppers are expected to provide their own bags and bag their own items as they pass through the checkout.
