Daughter recently sent me to Woolworths for groceries armed with screenshots of most items minus aisle numbers… what a challenge.
Where do you think you’d find ‘Condensed coconut milk’ with the other ‘condensed milk’ and evaporated milk??? … nope… nearly did me in but I was up for the challenge and found it in some obscure place in the next aisle. Thinking ‘Jonathon’ apples were green and knowing God didn’t make them and Woolies didn’t stock them I replaced them with Gala… as it turns out GS apples are red…so a good substitute. Why aren’t McVitee digestive biscuits all together but spread out throughout the biscuit aisle?
Anyway after an hour and a half grocery hunt was over. Lesson learned… don’t shop for someone else unless you download the app with the product with aisle numbers.
 
Another way is to get them to pick up your groceries after you have picked what you want on line and use 'to the boot' service.
Yes, I do the same. Easier to find online, just do a search. Easier to see what is on special, and easier on husband to drive to Woolworths (we don't have any Aldi's in Tassie unfortunately) and collect. I print out the invoice, and he checks off if everything is there, while I check quality.

No we don't have an Aldi's in Hobart and would be interesting to see what everyone is on about.Where are you?

I have found the exact issue with McVitee's biscuits. Don't get me started on bottled sliced olives. They would be logically placed next to the canned and bottled vegetables or even in the international foods section.

But no....for some bizarre reason, they are adjacent to packet cake mixes!

Who puts olives in their sponge cake? 🤷‍♂️

Ah you know the Isle of Man have you ever been there?
No, but I have a good friend who was born on the Isle Of Man in the late 1960s before moving to Australia as a teenager. She had the most luxurious dead straight shining jet black hair known to mankind. She even had a triskelion tattooed on her left bum cheek!

I could jokingly answer that, only some righteous soul (prick) would call me a racist?
