The prices in Penrith were almost the same.
And the Coles prices in Winmalee were similar to the Franklins in
Springwood.
This seems to imply that a Coles, or Woolworths, in Springwood might not
have lower prices.
This survey was conducted by Mike Steel, using a shopping list similar to
that used on other supermarket surveys.
