We have a Coles and Woollies next to each other, and an Aldi a few metres away from them, so yes, I will only buy an orange ticket item if it is the same price or cheaper than I could buy it at Coles. As for Aldi... the quality is as good as Coles/Woollies on some items, but on others it can't compete. And sometimes there are Aussie made products I want to support at Coles/Wollies that I can't do at Aldi.

I'm not overly fussed on this notion of Australian V imported food, as the cost of doing business in relation to food manufacturing in Australia is horrendous.
However the Argument that Woolies is the 'home' for Australian made is simply not true.
Next time your in local Woolies take a look at all the Woolworths home brand Confectionery!
It's all imported !
A few years ago Woolies sourced all private label confectionery from Australia.
Then go down the Canned Vegetable aisle and just about the entire Homebrand & Select product range is imported too!
I haven't even mentioned the Frozen Food Aisle yet.
Take a look at the country of origin in an Aldi Store for the above categories and the results are literally the opposite.
