"Expats in Sydney, often shop for groceries at popular supermarkets such as Woolworths, Coles, and Aldi. Woolworths (https://www.woolworths.com.au/) and Coles (https://www.coles.com.au/) are two of the largest supermarket chains in Australia, offering a wide range of products, including fresh produce, meat, dairy, and household items.

These markets offer a variety of locally sourced fruits, vegetables, and other artisanal products.
