Murray - those of us in WA are sooo frustrated with all you Eastern States folks posting the goodies (well, sometime goodies and well priced, but not always) that Aldi have.

Over here on the Indian Ocean coast they are supposed to be opening 15 stores all at the same time - but I think they are building them at the rate of one brick per day - never seen small commercial buildings take so long to put up. And the locals wont be pleased, as the car parks are miles too small for the number of customers they will get - locals will have shoppers parking on their grass verges, across their driveways etc. Must be giving Aldi discount cards to council planning staff lol

When we we re over the "other side" and went to Aldi, we noticed that their non-grocery lines were sometimes dearer than the same thing from Bunnings or that other outfit - ummmm......Masters - that's it lol

Off topic, but went to Masters the other day and they were selling heaps of fantastic outdoor/patio tables very cheaply Typically $60 reduced from $599). But the matching chairs were only reduced in priceby a few $, so what on earth are they going to do with the chairs if people just buy the tables ??? We looked at some garden tools in their "reduced to clear" piles and then on their normal racks. The prices in the reduced piles were dearer than the normal racks! When you ask staff why, you get blank stares or shoulder shrugs. Seems all the smart, product knowledgeable staff have already left

Yet another Woolies stuffup ?
