Its always determined by budget, for me, but I find that some products are affordable even if they cost a bit more. For example, I buy Ardmona tinned tomatoes, because they are really nice, and they are australian owned. They are about 60c more per tin than the coles equivalent but I dont find that the coles brand is anywhere near as good. Horses for courses and all that. PLus, Ardmona nearly went bust a couple of years ago, and I try to support companies who still struggle a bit. I wont buy Navel oranges out of season because they come from the USA, and the USA is already trampling our markets so… like… stuff ‘em. I guess Its not always about budget then… but most of the time it is.
