A Step-by-Step Guide for First-Time Users
The Special Buys Dilemma
Aldi’s Special Buys culture has become so ingrained in Australian shopping habits that the retailer has developed a devoted following who plan their shopping around the Wednesday and Saturday release schedule. Items often sell out within hours, creating a “hunt for the bargain” experience that’s unique among Australian supermarkets.

How It Compares to the Competition
Example Scenario
Consider Margaret, a 72-year-old Canberra resident who finds grocery shopping increasingly tiring. Previously, she might have paid $19/month for Coles Plus to get free delivery on orders over $50, or shopped in-store at Aldi to access the lowest prices. Now she can access Aldi’s low prices with delivery for either $3.99 per order or $9.99/month through DashPass – potentially saving $9 monthly while still getting Aldi’s competitive pricing.
