The best Aldi specials this week
Aldi commands customer loyalty that's the envy of Woolworths and Coles.
Research last year found Australian shoppers had developed "an emotional connection" to Aldi, which has carefully crafted public image of consistently low prices.
While this is not factually true – there are many instances when Aldi is more expensive – the strategy has worked successfully since the chain first entered Australia 19 years ago.
The supermarket's Special Buys homewares specials attract the most rabid fans, forcing them to queue up before store opening and snapping up the deliberately low stock specials.
For your browsing pleasure, Yahoo Finance each week presents the most alluring Special Buys deals and Super Saver grocery items right here.
This should help you target the specials you want and the day to visit. But beware that for groceries Coles and Woolworths' half-price deals are a bigger discount.
