Does anyone else use Woolworths' home delivery service? IMO it is quite good; even though prices are a bit more, if you stick to the specials it makes it worthwhile, even with the delivery charge. You can sort by unit price, are less likely to buy things you don't want and less likely to fall for the subtle psychological marketing tricks (I'm a sucker for 'buy 5 get one free' deals). Doing my shop this week, I have noticed they have put up the prices of many items, particularly fruit and vegetables, which I do not think can be explained by seasonal factors. A couple of small examples: beans have gone from $6 to $7/kg (16% increase), 2kg potatoes from $5 to $5.50 kg (10% increase). I'm sure there are many others too. Has anyone else noticed this?
Fruit, vegetable & meat prices change almost weekly, just the same as in store. They are always more expensive online though, except for specials.
