Supermarket Wars Down Under
It would seem that supermarket wars are not confined to dear old Blighty.
In Australia the two leading players have been slugging it out trying to outdo each other too.
Leading pair Coles and Woolworths (remember them?) have gone head-to-head offering a 40 cents/litre discount on petrol to shoppers spending $300 of more on their groceries.
In round figures that's 20p a litre off your fuel when you spend £150 on your weekly shop.
Australian Competition and Consumer Commission are investigating whether the offer, which runs for 72 hours, contravenes any anti-competition laws.
