    the fact that they’ve squashed so much of the fucking market that Aldi is the only viable competitor they can think of - a chain so fucking small comparatively that an international friend I recently caught up with noted the same store availability as when she was last here a decade ago is a condemnation of the pair in and of itself

      We had a local IGA open in our estate recently. There are some things that are more expensive than Colesworth, but only by a small margin.

      The same when a Foodworks opened where we used to live.

      Being able to stroll to the supermarket is a nice luxury; it is quicker to walk to IGA than to drive to the nearest Coles or Woolworths.
