Is too much choice an issue and how do you decide what to buy?

I don't mind having choice, how else would I discover products like Beerenberg Tomato Sauce or Koala Herbal Breakfast tea, which have quickly become family favourites? What I hate is so called 'authorities', like the government & now Woolworths & Coles trying to tell me what I can/cannot do, have, think or buy. Enough of the nanny nationing, let me make up my own mind!
This is probably the reason I don;t like Aldi, too limited & as I prefer to support Australian, farmers & suppliers probably why I choose to shop at IGA rather than other supermarkets.
I think it is more likely to be more stressful if your preferred brands are no longer stocked, you need to spend time browsing, then purchase & taste test a 'new' product, which may or may not suit family tastebuds & may prove to be a costly exercise.
How do I choose, look at nutrition labels, especially sugars but then I think it comes down to being a 'gut' feeling.
