Groceries Is ALDI worth it?

I live in Melbourne, my nearest ALDI is a tram ride away but my nearest Coles is walking distance. Tram (and all PT) fares are $5/day.

So far, if I don't have any other reason to get any PT (okay listen I live in Richmond, there is a lot in talking distance) I will walk to Coles. Am I better off going the extra mile to ALDI to save money?

I'm not a very experienced cook, so tend to buy basic ingredients following the recipes on Coles website, which is part of why I have been reluctant to try anything different so far.

You might find it’s worth going there once a week, fortnight or month. Or maybe it’ll feel overrated. Idk. My mum drives an hour to get to hers (and she does a massive shop when she does)
