I was watching Gruen the other night and one of the guests was talking about how Aldi has much less range compared to ColesWorth and it got me thinking about how shopping at Aldi can be less stressful than shopping at ColesWorth.
The stores are often much smaller: less distance to walk.
The range is smaller and mostly one homebrand per product: less decisions to make.
There's usually less people there: more space.
The prices are more stable and don't have the 'fake' specials like ColesWorth.
Up until a couple of months ago, my local Aldi didn't have self-service, so I didn't go there much as I don't like queuing. But with the self service, its so much better. I can be out in 1 minute or 2.
So if you find supermarket shopping stressful for whatever reason, Aldi's 'less is more' ethos might be for you.
