In Germany different supermarkets focus on different things, so you can shop around for different things, eg meat, veg, bread, canned at get different ones in different places to make your money go further. Its usually pretty easy cos you don't need to drive across town to visit 2 or 3 places, but the reluctance to go to >1 places in Australia I think is one big reason why people still get stooged.. You have choice, just got to use it.. If you say OK its too hard and just get everything at Coles.

Then shut the whining, you made your choice.

How come Aldi Nord, Aldi Sud and Lidl have exactly the same format then?

Sorry, failing to see what the format has to do with different costs for things at different places?

The stores have to differentiate to attract customers, so use those differences to your advantage.
