What are grocery prices like in Canberra and how can I keep my weekly food bill down?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Grocery prices in Canberra vary by supermarket, suburb, household size and the foods you buy, so there is no single standard weekly cost. Comparing Aldi, Coles, Woolworths, independent grocers and local markets can help, while unit pricing makes it easier to compare products by weight or volume. Planning meals, choosing home-brand items, buying seasonal produce and checking catalogues may reduce spending, although specials and availability change. For a realistic budget, track your receipts for several weeks and compare current prices using supermarket websites or apps.
