The Commonwealth country, which is almost a day's worth of travel flying from Toronto, has several major supermarket chains, including Aldi, Coles, IGA, and Woolworths.
We popped into a Coles in Brisbane and a Metro in Melbourne, so I decided to compare prices of lunch staples to Loblaw's discount supermarket chain, No Frills. According to the latest exchange rate, one Canadian dollar equals AU$1.10. You should also know that Australia has a 10% Goods and Service Tax and that the price tags you see in stores already include the GST.Canada: A 1.36 kg bag of onions at No Frills is C$3.49.Canada: Tomatoes at No Frills are C$5.49 per kilogram.Canada: North American Wonder white bread is regularly priced at C$2.99 at No Frills.Australia: A package of 250 grams of strawberries at Metro is AU$5.40, which comes out to C$4.92.
