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

I've already started to see some of my favourite products disappear or dwindle. Examples - Robert Timms Coffee Bags have been moved to a lower shelf with less stock, less variety. Decaf ground coffee has all but disappeared and what is still available is way too expensive. Small coffee filter bags have disappeared off the shelves at Coles which means I have to go elsewhere to buy them. I live in the country and have Woolies, IGA and Coles close by. I shop at Coles by choice, at Woolies for convenience and IGA for items you just can't get at the other 2. I suppose that much choice is good for juggling my budget but it makes the weekly shopping fragmented. Surely having a larger choice is the reason for people using either Coles or Woolies, it's definitely no the prices!! I'd much prefer to have a large variety of brands/products available, there's scope to try out new things or even experience new cultures. They'd be cutting their own throats if they reduced the variety of stock they carry
