So, if you do have to shop at Colesworths, make sure you only buy stuff when it's "on special".
I loved the quote from Woollies about how it's the suppliers who set the prices. I thought everyone knew that Colesworths dictated pricing strategies to their suppliers, a la "nice shelf placement you've got for your products there, be a shame if something happened to it..."
(And, yes, some products I buy that are found only on the very top or bottom shelf exhibit none of this price variability bullshit)
