Navigating Aussie Supermarkets

For those new to Australia.
Coles and Woolworths are the 2 main supermarkets here. Both are OK with a wide range of products, and own brand labels. I have been to many stores and settled on a favourite as it has straight up and down aisles, unlike many others that have odd layouts and one is even on 2 floors which is against my natural sense of order in supermarket shopping. Both always have specials, clearly marked, and specialist sections:- kosher, dairy free etc. If you were comparing the look and feel, they are more Aldi than Sainsbury’s. The staff are pleasant, with one notable exception (Potts Point Woolies – you know who you are!) and they pack your bags automatically. They both do a rewards card but I have not signed up for either – I shall and then will report back. Most seem to have veggie stores, fish counters, butchers and delis just outside too so you can mix and match and shop around for best products and best buys.
