Well the first of the month slipped by without me remembering to click on to that oh so forgettable website, Rudders' Grocery Choice.
Breathless with anticipation, I logged on yesterdee arvo and found the same vacuous information as before - ie., a Basic Staples Basket along with other basket types from unspecified stores somewhere in North-East New South Wales.
Go directly to the national Woolworths site and you can find out the weekly specials in their stores nearest you.
Even Franklins allows you to look up specials.
While Aldi lists its grocery selection.
All have more usable practical information than Grocery Choice, but make no mistake, none of this allows our regional mob any real purchasing choice.
A 100kms round trip to the nearest competitor to your local supermarket makes the whole thing laughable - the fuel costs involved in chasing these 'cheaper' groceries mean that there would be no actual savings.
So, Ch-ching!, once a month Rudders is going to offer us all a slap in the face because his website seemed like a good idea for that day's media sound bite a couple of months back.
