The winner was Coles Online at $172.83 including delivery. In second place was Woolworths Home Shop at $193.00 including delivery. And last was Bananablue.com.au (a new online supermarket) with $205.99 including delivery.

So while this does not prove 100% that new online supermarkets are more expensive, in this random test not only are they more expensive but by quite a lot; in fact, by a total of $33.16, or 19% higher. This is a huge percentage increase. If you were paying this extra $33.16 a week, you would pay an extra $1,724.32 a year.

If you're thinking about switching to a new online shopping website, it might pay to compare a few products prior to jumping on board.
