Rudd's 'Grocery Choice' website now showing price comparisons for NE NSW

The Rudd Government's new website Grocery Choice is up and running this morning.

The August 08 basic staples grocery basket comparison for the NSW North Coast shows that Coles/BiLo is the most expensive shopping experience out of the large retailers listed.
Small independent stores are naturally the most expensive generally.

Lucky Yamba. Not only does it get a poor range/quality of goods from Coles/BiLo at Yamba Fair - it also gets the most expensive supermarket basic staples basket of groceries at $77.31.

Basic Staples
This basket includes a selection of staple grocery products purchased by Australian households. It includes a variety of products from each of the other grocery baskets. This is the only basket that has an ALDI supermarket price.
