Yes we all know how busy everyone says they are.
My point is homebranding is no longer cheaper and is in the majority in those 2 stores. Aldi for instance has never advertised as a "brands" store and sold their own line. (cheaper)
Where as Woolie / Coles often bitched about the Aldi model yet this what they are now doing but without the lower prices.
Laugh at Franco's picture.
Personally do all the shopping myself at IGA and local stores only, so its easy to find proper made in Oz stuff.
Thing I'll look for is the company address on the label like Franco's example.
If it's something like Macquarie st $ydney they are usually middle men.
Same at country markets, usually wander to look at the trucks parked behind to see where what the name on the door say come from a big city, nah middle men flogging stuff that's from the country goes to the city and re sold back out here.
