As Australians continue to struggle with the cost of living crisis, households have come up with creative and cost-effective ways to feed their families.
Shoppers cast more than 312,000 votes to choose their favorite grocery items, from chicken to feed the whole family to stain-removing laundry detergent and inexpensive snacks to pack for lunch.
There was a mix of returning winners and newcomers who reached the number one spot in every category.
This year, simple snacks have been popular with shoppers: Thousands have opted for Blackstone Gourmet’s olive oil truffle fries ($3.49) and Snackers Market’s Colby cheese and crackers ($3.99).
Seasons Pride’s Potato Gratin ($4.99) has also been a great choice—this easy dish is ready after just a few minutes in the air fryer.
Many time-pressed Australians have started buying ready meals that they can pop in the oven or microwave to cut down on preparation time.
