This list of products was selected to allow for like for like comparisons across stores, and is not designed to be representative of a household or family shop. Branded products are used to avoid making comparisons between fresh produce which can vary in brand and pricing structure across retailers.
Product prices are also shown without promotions, so it is possible that consumers could find better value through ‘2 for 1’ deals. For example, at times in our survey, the bottle of Coca Cola was available on a 2 for $5.50 deal at PAK’nSAVE Westgate.
Prices at both New World and at Countdown fluctuated little, with no consistent patterns relative to The Warehouse.
