Doesn’t bother me I shop onlineWTF???? Sugar is a COOKING INGREDIENT - woolies put it back in the cooking/baking aisle and stop being idiots!
Is this a Milleniums idea to move it??
What weirdo decided it belongs elsewhere other than with flour etc?
They need to stop re-arranging everything and hiding or getting rid of them and LOWER prices.
Not the worst spelling mistake l've seen on this site by any means. There instead of their is just one example.Voles? They're little furry critters aren't they?
Our local Bunnings Warehouse store had Store Maps when they first opened but these were only good for a few months & as other members have noted, aisles change regularly.The local Aldi underwent a major overhaul about 18 months ago resulting in items being located in completely different location to previously. A ten minute shop got extended to a half hour excursion in futility.
I suggested to the management that a store map be installed in strategic locations around the store but to no avail.
They’re is short for “they are”what’s the beef with youNot the worst spelling mistake l've seen on this site by any means. There instead of their is just one example.
Is this aisle change at Woolworths misguided? One shopper sparks debate
Stocking up on pantry staples like sugar is part of the weekly grocery routine for many.
But what if the next time you went shopping at Woolworths, you discovered that the sugar had been moved to the cordial section, of all places?
This is exactly what happened to one Queensland shopper, Kylie de Waard, who spoke out on social media about the 'weird' change at her local store.
Sharing her experience with thousands of followers, the shopper posted a video stating that she had encountered a Woolworths store in which the sugar was not located in the baking aisle—a sight that she'd never encountered before in all her shopping days.
According to Kylie, it was her first time seeing the everyday item not close to cake mixes and flour and said that it was ‘wrong’ of Woolies to move the item.
'I just went into a Woolworths where the sugar was not in the baking aisle,' she said.
'And I’ve never been into a supermarket in my entire existence where the sugar is not in the baking aisle.'
'So I need to know, is this a new thing they’re doing? Because it’s wrong.'

This ignited a debate online. According to some, sugar should most definitely belong in the baking aisle.
'All the Woolies near me, it’s in [the] baking aisle, and I’ve got five Woolies within 10 minutes,’ one commented.
While another argued: 'Every supermarket within 30 minutes of my house the sugar is in the baking aisle. That’s the obvious place.'
'I’ve lived in Adelaide, Melbourne, Shepparton, and Horsham. I’ve literally NEVER seen sugar in the coffee aisle, it’s always with baking?' A third said.
'I’ve always found sugar in the baking section. Never ever seen it with coffee,' a fourth confirmed.
But others asserted that they had usually found it in the coffee aisle.
'I just used my Woolies app for my local store. Sugar is in aisle four also coffee, baking stuff in aisle seven,' one said.
'South East Queensland here. It’s been in the coffee aisle for years,' a second added.
While a third said: 'All the Woolies I’ve ever been to, the sugar is in the coffee aisle.'
To prove her case, the shopper returned to another Woolies store and filmed herself pointing out the sugar in the baking aisle.
'To people who thought I was crazy yesterday, this is my local Woolworths,' she said on another video.
'Look! Sugar, sugar! Cake mix! Oh, look at that, baking aisle - flour, sugar.'
'It’s been a very divisive subject. So weird.'

However, it seems that the strange sighting had nothing to do with the store's policy on storage of goods, as the shop where she'd previously seen the misplaced sugar was reportedly undergoing renovations.

That sounds like common sense which I don't think exists any moreWhat would be helpful is the basic layout of all Woolworths supermarkets set out the same then no matter where you shopped in whichever suburb across Australia you would find the product you were looking for. Likewise for all other's like Coles etc.
I always remember there were signs hanging at the beginning and end of every aisle saying what’s in the aisle don’t they do that anymore. I shop online these days haven’t been in a supermarket in years due to ill health.suits me though.That sounds like common sense which I don't think exists any more
