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

There is a lot of choice in the retail world & sometimes it can be stressful trying to decide which item is better. Is there a difference in price because there is a difference in quality or is it cheaper because it's made overseas or cheaper for another reason? Is it environmentally friendly or not? We often have to weigh these things up in our purchasing decision. Sometimes it is annoying, but at the end of the day, we like to have choice when we go to the shops. We often find that a product that we loved is no longer being sold & then we have to try & find something else that even comes close to what we liked.
We like shopping at Aldi, but we always have to go to other shops, such as Coles in order to complete our shopping list. If the major supermarkets reduce our choices, then the items that we buy from there might not be available anymore, & therefore it will reduce our likelihood of visiting the store. Therefore, we would prefer that the stores keep plenty of choices available on their shelves for the customers to choose from.
