the brand stuff is (generally) pure marketing. Many moons ago I worked in a dip factory - the "brand" ($3.30) and the "home brand" ($1.90) literally came from the same batch - just used different tubs (and yet so many people I knew at the time swore black and blue that the branded stuff tasted far superior.....)
The Aldi and other supermarket home brands usually come out of the same factories as the "brand" products. That's why Aldi packaging which looks so similar to the "name brand" doesn't get into copyright trouble - it's the name brand selling to Aldi as a contractor.
Yes! Do a video about pie shops!😍 Thanks for your videos. We’re moving to NSW in about 2yrs. My wife is Aussie but I’m French Canadian. I’m really looking forward to it
Cordial! Squash is a vege or the drink from the pub! Dry Ginger Ale is what is mixed with CC, Ginger Beer is sweeter and a 'cool drink' (do you call them soda?)
Ha ha. Will have to change my vocabulary again! Ah, thanks for the tip, wasn't sure whether it was ginger ale or ginger beer. The Mrs probably prefers it sweeter anyway
Woollies (well most supermarkets) use special lights to make their fruit/vege, deli, fish and meat appear brighter. Apparently when they went to vacuum sealed packaging on the meat sales fell because the thicker plastic was acting like a light filter and dulling its appearance. Also don't always think the sale sticker is the best price, its just to catch your eye.
@@ThatJohnstonLife Example is Powerade 600mL = $3.65, but the 1L is $2.50. BUT the 1L is on the bottom shelf almost out of sight and the 600mL up at eye level. Even on sale typically the 600mL is more expensive. There's a fair bit of this, you just need to look.
We also have full isles of “drinks” in 🇨🇦 and here we call it juice not squash. Cordial to us is an fruity alcoholic beverage to be sipped!! Love love love you shopping video’s. It really helps to see what things actually cost in Australia. Rather than the generic “its soooo expensive” . It really helps as a Canadian considering moving there to know what we are getting into!!
If you want English chocolate there’s usually an English food section in the aisle with International Food at Woolies, Coles and IGA. It’s a bit expensive though.
Are there chefs outlet stores in your state ?? Open to the public !! In the Hunter Valley /Lake Macquarie region of nsw there is Babina the slogan is “ where the chef shops “ it has a lot of OS stuff !! America England South Africa
If you are near a Costco and a member or know someone who is ,I recommend trying their laundry pods. 152 pods for just shy of $30 and they smell really nice.
Hi I'm a Aussie & a tip I've found when grocery shopping just shop the catolgue specials & you'll save money especially in Woolies & coles. Cheese last longer from ALDI as most in Woolies say once open use by 7 days where ALDI says use by 14days once open. Not sure if a NQR -not quite right suppermarket near you but it's great to get discounted food too as they close to use by date or best before date. Even reject shop has some good bargains with pantry food they stock like pasta & pasta sauce, soup etc. Tip too read all back of packets as some have a certain time they should be eaten by once open & some products even same thing have longer time self time at different shops like I said above with cheese. Hope this helps, I've saved alot money with shopping around on catalogue specials, ALDI shopping & NQR suppermarket. Welcome to Australia too.
No worries. Yeah NQR & the reject shop so good. I love nqr I save so much money especially at Easter & Christmas as they always have discounted Easter eggs & Christmas chocolate stockings.
Hi guys! Again, amazing video! If you are missing good, tasty chocolates go and try to find or google a polish shop near you or a supermarket with some Polish products on shelves. Highly recommended!
I’m a Woolworths shopper ; but buy meat/ poultry & fruit/ veg elsewhere ( as shown in our Aussie grocery hauls ) This was a great video , love your channel 🇦🇺❤️
when i lived in brisbane i used to go to the rocklea markets. they are fantastic and you will save so much on fruit and vegies. you can get everything there
Some FYIs :) Aldi's (BLACKSTONE brand) Honey and Soy Chicken Chips/Crisps seem to be and taste exactly the same as the Red Rock Deli Honey and Soy Chicken Chips. But are like about $2.50 and in a larger bag. Have not tried the other Aldi flavours. Also the Aldi stores that sell alcohol, there's Leo beer (from Thailand) that is really nice and refreshing (with less burping lol). Their non-name copies of famous spirits are not too bad either for a good price (their cider is nice too). Oh. If you find the Caffe Aurora Italian Blend coffee beans or grounded for about $10 for a kilo bag, is a definitely worth a try! In Coles or Woollies. Cheers and best wishes from Perth!
You'd be familiar with the different target markets pursued by different supermarket chains. There's just fewer supermarket chains here than in the UK.
Have been disappointed with them lately, used to have them at least once a week as I worked on the goldy but over time I felt quality really drop off. Head a few hours west and find a good country bakery.
I'm an Aussie and I also hate eating poes with my hands. I always buy a buy but take it home to eat it so I can use the knife and fork. If I have to eat from straighy from the bakery and don't have cutlery I always opt for a sausage roll, quiche or pastie.
This video is making me feel better about the cost of food. From the looks of it, it is comparable to Canadian prices so i guess it wint be a shock to us when we get there. I must say youre giving us ideas of what to buy when we get to Australia. I also cannot believed they have dino pasta and bunny marshmallows soooo cool. Keep making videos as it is really helpful to me. I am not as spontaneous as my husband so i tend to research a ton at least a year before moving and your video have been quite helpful.
Thanks for your support and glad the videos help. I certainly didn't do enough research before we moved, you can never do enough!! It just really helps keep you mind at ease
Also, here in Aus the price is the price. Tax already is included so no surprises at the checkout. You don’t have to mentally add the tax like in Canada
i know what you mean about Aldi, we do love aldi but we do half at aldi the other half at woolies. I think wollies is cheaper and more variety than Coles!
Love Australia 🇦🇺 my children live there. But one good thing about the UK 🇬🇧 is the amount of different choices of shops/supermarkets. It’s pretty much only Aldi, Cole’s, Woolworths in Oz.
@@glennoc8585 ok, I suppose it depends on location, the IGA here has comparable prices on a lot of thing Woolies/Coles has, but the main benefit is the meat/cheese prices I've found. Although to really save you need to buy the 'bulk' packs they have which would be great for families. Closest IGA to me is around 15kms, local shops to me 1.5km so the 'offset' of car costs/time is not worth it and we have a great butcher in the local Woolies complex here, won a heap of awards especially for sausages. Walkerston Country Meats.
Big shout out to Sam for being "almost ready" to go to Woolies, a Mum is always last out the door because we are the ones doing "stuff" before we leave that hubby is oblivious to👍👍. Agreed the Cadbury in Australia tastes very different to the Cadbury in the UK (and NZ) its the milk that makes it taste better in UK. That dinosaur pasta tastes absolutely rank, its some high fibre, low GI junk if Aurora doesnt eat it good luck eating that Ross its a no for me dog. That apricot cream cheese is delicious 👍. Happy belated Birthday to Sam and Aurora hope it was a great day. 🥳🎂🍻. Thanks for sharing.

Holding a pie with your hands while eating it is as Australian as it gets. It's completely normal, no one in their right mind would use a knife & fork unless it was part of a main meal served on a plate with chips & salad. Don't embarrass yourself at the pie shop by asking for cutlery ;) It's the same as if you ask for a knife & fork at the pizza shop. You just don't! LOL
Great series, and it's informative for those of us currently planning our own move down under. Request from us - we've heard that the standard of clothing in Oz leaves a lot to be desired when compared to UK...could you include this in a future video? Oz versus UK clothes? Thanks!!!
H and M. Cotton On ,, have just emerged in the last couple of years !! TK Max !! I think Best and Less is just a bit better than Kmart , Myer used to be the posh place to buy newborn baby clothes , now the only thing they have left is Marquise singlets
Try Drakes or Fresh n Save too guys. Not the best for fruit n veg (bit old like Aldi) but I think you would be surprised at what you could save on a lot of things. And Drakes carry a lot of English brands too, or they used to. And Ross, please don’t eat generic brand pies, you just never know what’s in them. Have you tried Beefy’s pies yet?
I think we've been to a fresh and save? 🤔 why can't they just have 1 good supermarket where all the good stuff is, rather than having to go round them all!
@@ThatJohnstonLife YES! I totally agree. Wouldn’t it make life so much easier. Might be a little out of your way. However, Caboolture markets on a Sunday morning is great for getting veg fresh from the farmers then head up Pumicestone Rd and try the Drakes IGA store its fairly big and has premium brands to store brands and they are cheaper than Woolies and Coles.
woollies brand has been around for years before aldi. but you will find that the home brand products are the expensive ones with cheaper/different packaging.
Hi just started watching your videos love it my husband is Australian I'm South African been living in South Africa but moving to Australia permanently next month july 2021 my mum lives in Queensland Hervey bay but we getting a place in Brisbane kinda exciting but also sad as we are a very close family here in Cape town but it's a new start so I'm kinda excited oh yes and have you been to Yatla Pies love it ... Keep making your videos 🇿🇦❤🇭🇲
If you didn't get charged the special price for the chicken fillets, you got ripped off. You need to tell a staff member and they will correct it. It's just a technical glitch.
Great video! Really enjoying your channel guys. Personally, I buy most of my meat from butcher or poultry shops, often they're located right next to supermarkets in shopping centres and they're usually better value than Woolies and Coles.
Hey i watched all your moving videos and i think you’re lucky that you could love during corona and experience the freedom there. 😊 When you book hotels for quarantine, is there a government approved hotel list to choose from? 2. Since you’re not citizen on whichever grounds did you get an exemption?
Thanks for watching. You don't book a hotel. You are assigned one by the police when you land and are taken there on a coach. You have no contact with anyone other than on your plane until you leave quarantine. We have permanent residency so we do not need exemption as all permanent residents and citizens are allowed to enter the country
Having lived on and off in both countries, I would be interested in your views on some everyday essential service. First Health Care. A young UK doctor has given her impressions of both systems See: th-cam.com/video/OhqELWPSQ_s/w-d-xo.html - though from a GPs point of view it gives a really good overview. She says she earns less (surprising as hospital consultants always top the Tax Office list of the highest paid wage earners in Australia) but the job is more interesting and patients have more choice and quicker access to more services. But unless they have kids or on a benefit they are charged for more. The second one is schools - and as a teacher you actually might not want to comment. At secondary level, it appears less kids go to State Schools because they are large numbers of religious schools. These are often lower fee, private schools as they still get government funding. Even posh GPS private schools (equivalents of Stowe, Westminster etc) get Government funding which seems different to UK so even their fees are lower. Historically I think this came about because Irish immigrants wanted Catholic Schools and the Church successfully argued they were saving the Government money so should be subsidised - this opened it up to every variety of faith group.
We've found medicare to be good so far for what we've needed. Can't really comment on the schools yet. Will have all that to worry about as our daughter gets older
I'm guessing you have got a Woolies Rewards Card ? Also if you have Woolies car insurance you get 10% off a shop once a month 😁 I'm a Brit, you get used to differences, I shop mostly at Aldi then once a month do a big shop at Woolies and save my rewards points for Xmas ..... Just my way 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Tomato sauce!!! NAH!.... In Qld, you have a meat pie with 'black' sauce (Worcestershire Sauce) and *mushy peas* Tomato sauce is mainly a 'southern' thing.
You should check out your local butcher for meat I never buy meat from the supermarket anymore.... It's all tasteless crap My local butcher is amazing and the prices are more than comparable...
And you can say $ 20 of that so much easier on the budget !! I really miss Redlea chicken shops 😒 everything chicken raw and cooked their hot chips were Devine !! Meatballs sausages bbq even chicken frames for soup

I'm addicted to lindor
Loving the video Ross! Get me to Australia ASAP🤣
The wait must be a drag!!
Not sure if you have mentioned this before but in order to put prices into perspective you really need to compare UK & Aussie take home pay.
Keep the video coming, Have you guys done a food shop in Coles yet? Also did you ever go up to Tamborine mountains as I suggested in a previous video?
Coles will be soon. We've been to Mt Nebo recently, not quite got to Tambourine yet! Will do soon

We enjoyed them! Good crust!
Go for a day trip over to Yatala Pies, most amazing pies ever, both sweet and savoury, highly recommend!
Oooh, sounds good. When we finally go to Gold Coast we will have to make a stop!

Historically I think this came about because Irish immigrants wanted Catholic Schools and the Church successfully argued they were saving the Government money so should be subsidised - this opened it up to every variety of faith group.
We've found medicare to be good so far for what we've needed. Can't really comment on the schools yet. Will have all that to worry about as our daughter gets older
I'm guessing you have got a Woolies Rewards Card ? Also if you have Woolies car insurance you get 10% off a shop once a month 😁 I'm a Brit, you get used to differences, I shop mostly at Aldi then once a month do a big shop at Woolies and save my rewards points for Xmas ..... Just my way 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Will look into the car insurance. Great tip!
Oh Meat Pies must be eaten with tomato sauce!
I know Brits are a bit funny about this!
I've settled on BBQ for now, never really like the flavour in the UK but the Aussie one is great
Tomato sauce!!! NAH!.... In Qld, you have a meat pie with 'black' sauce (Worcestershire Sauce) and *mushy peas* Tomato sauce is mainly a 'southern' thing.
It's good to see a Brit eating Malaysian noodles 🤣Go Maggi!

Maggi is Swiss not Malaysian.

You should check out your local butcher for meat
I never buy meat from the supermarket anymore....
It's all tasteless crap
My local butcher is amazing and the prices are more than comparable...
We love to get our meat from the butchers too, especially for the BBQ, but sometimes the supermarket is just more convenient
And you can say $ 20 of that so much easier on the budget !! I really miss Redlea chicken shops 😒 everything chicken raw and cooked their hot chips were Devine !! Meatballs sausages bbq even chicken frames for soup
