FOOD SHOPPING
You will find two large supermarket chains to choose from throughout Australia, Woolworths and Coles.
Depending on which state you settle in there may be more choice. IGA is a chain of independently run grocery stores. The eastern states have a wider choice of supermarkets, including Safeway and Aldi.

www.aldi.com.au
As the large supermarket chains (apart from Aldi) do not have a national pricing policy, food prices vary from state to state and even from suburb to suburb. This means that it pays to shop around.
Online grocery shopping is mainly available in the eastern states with some smaller independent companies offering the service in Western Australia. For online shopping check out the links below.

www.coles.com.au
www.ezyshop.com.au
A good tip is to shop in local markets where you will often find the best price on fresh produce.
For grocery price checking throughout Australia visit the government grocery choice website.
