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

Coles and Woolies are following Aldi's lead and cutting the number of product lines they stock as a result of customers finding that too much choice is stressful. So what do you think? - How do you feel about having less choice in the supermarket? What would you do if your usual brand was no longer available? Would you prefer more or fewer brands to choose from? Does having too many brands to choose from make it harder to decide? When you are faced with a wide range of products to choose from, how you make your decision?

going back to the forties there was only the corner store where really there was not much variety in food or brands. Once the supermarkets were bought into our country there were heaps of products and brands etc. Now with all the overseas brands here now with the competition they had to cut costs plus downsize the variations of such products. It is just a thing we have to put up with I guess as these supermarkets play their games of still trying to maintain their profits. Of course it would be lovely to have a great variety of goods but it seems to be the system of today and we have to put up with it I guess. There are a lot of products I have enjoyed over the years have all of a sudden gone from the shelves which is completely distasteful and they give no explanation why.
cheers and good luck to all consumers
