Pleasantly surprised finding an Aldi in Sydney Australia, we had to check it out, comparing it to…read morethe discount grocery chain that we are used to in the States. There are 599 Aldis in Australia, with 203 in New South Wales, alone. It's large (even though it's considered a 'Corner' store, which means it is smaller and meant to service a densely populated metro area). It has a lot larger meat department than what you would see in the States (though similarly, all the meat is prepackages i.e. there is no butcher on-site). Prices weren't too dissimilar to that in the States, and there was a large center area where 'special buys' were displayed. Definitely some stuff that we would have been interested in if we weren't so far from home.

This Aldi seemed to be much bigger than the Aldis they have in the US. Plenty of great deals and…read moremuch cheaper than the grocery stores surrounding it. Be warned, Aldi is known for carrying non-name brand items. It will be hard to find specialty items or a particular brand.

I never much liked going to Aldi, the pared back Supermarket, with it's disheveled shelves of Euro…read morebrand products. I always felt a bit scummy trawling through the mass, yet with the economic crisis it is now considered 'savvy', not 'tight', to be keeping an eye on your pennies. And many pennies you may save! They have a system of leaving the products in the box they got delivered in. They don't have to pay shelve stackers to sort it out and that is how they keep there prices so low. They are unbelievably low too! You either have to buy a bag, bring your own shopping bag or better still, just grab one of the empty boxes lying about the place and start to fill it with goods. The difference in price is astronomical. I filled a medium sized box and it cost me $30. $30 at Coles would fill a third of a shopping bag. Aldi stocks some pretty diverse products too. You can get a Digital camera for $60 and sometimes they have TV's and tents and coffee tables and many other disparate items in their budget store. Aldi is a great first stop and if they don't have the items you need then go elsewhere with all that money you saved. Some of their veggies are absolutely fresh and fine and the price is so low you wonder why you were such a snob about it before.

It has got to be some sort of entry level of hell. One of the worst in Sydney which is really saying something. Worse than Broadway Shopping Centre. Way worse then the Metro. Seriously, I don't know what prison architect they got to design this but they did an excellent job on clogged traffic flow, unreasonably tight spaces, and unnavigable tight corners.

This instance is located in the Broadway Sydney shopping mall, and provides all the necessary produce and food items. It's always fun to wander around and look at items that might not exist in the states, but also admit that there are international items that you would not find in a standard US grocery store, but here would exist because of the large Far East Asian population. Some examples were Buldak hot chicken flavor ramen, salmanco frozen desserts. Also found frozen pelmeni (Russian dumplings), Went to the pet supply area, and saw a variety of dog treats, including one probably found only in Australia: Kangaroo tail disks. Supposedly, they are sourced from wild kangaroos that are culled to maintain their population.

This store is also being featured on Channel 7's My Kitchen Rules a few times. I usually shop at this Coles during late hours since it closes at midnight.
