I shop at Aldi as I like specific food items and the prices of everyday products are good. I also visit other supermarkets as I enjoy the range of products available. If these items were not available I would shop more at independent delicatessens and specialty stores. Supermarkets need to strike a balance between choice and competitively priced everyday items or staples. Display and signage can assist customers making a choice and to limit confusion. Initially my choice is guided by product experience and recognition, price or promotions. Once I pick up the item I look at the ingredients and country of origin. I prefer products without too many colours and preservatives. I prefer products from Australia, Europe and New Zealand. The choice does not confuse me as I simply do not look all the items in one visit.
