Budget is my first priority but I do tend to avoid shopping at the 2 largest grocery shops where possible. I prefer Aldi because a lot of their products are from Australian companies, we support local businesses like the butcher and baker and health shop. We go to the markets every 2 weeks for fruit and veg.

On the top of free range eggs. In most cases there is not a lot of difference between cage and free range eggs in the larger eggs farms. Free range hens do get some out door time but they are locked up at night often in high density conditions, they are still fed the same feed that often contains insecticides and gmo grains. My father works for a trucking company that carts the feed for these chickens and he has seen first hand that free range chooks aren't that much better off.
