      Yes they are; Because they small businesses, which actually pay their employees a living wage and don’t have the buying power of the big supermarkets.

      Even then, all the IGA locals around me and larger IGAs on surrounding towns are still cheaper than Safeway and Coles.

        Safeway! There’s a name I haven’t heard in about 10 years. Are there still any Safeways that haven’t turned into Woolies out there?

        IGA isn’t a small business, and I’ve no clue if they pay a decent wage, but $10 for a dozen eggs is insanely expensive and reason enough not to shop their. Aldi is amazing tho, and I agree Coles is quite expensive, not sure if it is more than IGA tho as they are generally 5-10x woolies prices (which are already very high)

        idk how much they pay their workers but I suspect that since iga is the distributor, they get most of the cut. I’m not faithful to any chain anyways, the post is mostly a joke
