Activate the below offer from Woolworths by entering your rewards card number, meet the minimum weekly spend for 3 weeks and 6,000 points is all yours.

24.01.2022 Coles, Woolworths and IGA have now limited the number of shoppers in the store at any time in a bid to maintain physical distancing over the Easter rush. Once at capacity stores are following a one in one out policy. Shoppers waiting to enter the store must line up outside in a well spaced queue. Hate waiting in line? Here's a handy tip to help reduce your wait time. If you have Google Maps on your smartphone, check out the Popular Times graph, which shows when a supermarket ...is at it's busiest. The best part is live reporting. Using anonymous location data, the app works out in real time how busy the supermarket is compared with historical trends. Just search for your supermarket, scroll down and you will see the graph. If it's 'less busy than usual', it's a great time to pop to the shop for those essential items. If it's 'as busy as it gets' hang in there, stay safe at home and wait for a better time.
22.01.2022 Are you ready for a Coronavirus quarantine? Hoarding toilet paper and bottled water is not the solution. Be budget savvy, purchase non perishable items in reasonable quantities and meal plan. Don't forget to use substitutes where your usual food items are not available or their supply is restricted (for example, substitute cous cous for rice). Here's a handy household shopping checklist to get ready for an extended stay at home.... #coronavirus #quarantine
21.01.2022 I haven't shopped at Coles online recently, and I logged in today to find this offer This promo code applies to a spend of at least $150, when your first purchase was made in the last 12 months. Happy shopping!

20.01.2022 It has a busy month with Woolworths Bunch, we have been lucky enough to enjoy free samples of oats and pistachios! We hope you are enjoying free Bunch sample products too!

19.01.2022 OzHarvest estimates that $3,800 worth of groceries per household end up in the bin each year, which is 35% of the average household bin waste. An easy way to save money is to reduce your food waste. It's the end of the shopping week for us, so tonight's dinner is an eggplant curry with the leftover vegetables from the cripser. Not everyone is a curry fan, but how about finely grating your leftover veggies and adding them to a spaghetti sauce, or a shepherd's pie? How can you repurpose your leftovers so that they don't reach the bin? #wastenotwantnot #Saturdaysavings OzHarvest

18.01.2022 Eliminating food waste is one of the best ways to save money. What if you still have limp vegies in your fridge at the end of the week, no matter how hard you try? Have you considered frozen veg? While vegetables straight from your own garden will always be the optimal choice, it isn't always possible. In Australia our vegies often have to travel a long distance to get to the supermarket shelves, which can take days. Dietitians Australia spokesperson Melanie McGrice said "we ...know that the longer it takes fresh food to get to us from the farm, the more the nutrients [in the food] decrease". On the other hand, nutrients in frozen produce are sealed in when freezing. Frozen vegies can last up to 8-12 months in the freezer, giving you plenty of time to use them! Some vegies freeze better than others, so maybe try different varieties and see what suits your taste buds. Why not try eating fresh veggies at the start of the week, and finish it by eating the frozen - it may just help your wallet! #foodwaste #zerowaste #frozenfood #savingmoney #shoppingscrooge

11.01.2022 Effective today Woolworths has introduced a two item limit from any single category on most packaged products. This means you can only buy 2 products from any single category (such as coffee) regardless of the brand or variety. These limits are in addition to other limits already in place. Some items remain unrestricted, such as fresh fruit and veg, meat and milk. These restrictions mean you need to be creative in order to stay within your grocery shopping budget. ... To keep costs down, you can Buy in bulk where possible on everyday items such as cereal (within your purchasing limit) Modify the meals you normally eat to include as much fresh fruit and veg as possible Think of other budget meal alternatives that aren't normally on the menu that have ingredients readily available in store. For example, this morning at my local Woolworths there was everything needed for a nooodle stirfry or vegetable curry. Shop more frequently than usual, for example if you normally shop fortnightly, shop weekly or bi weekly Substitute. What products can you substitute to still achieve your desired meal? This week we I will be making Beef Stroganoff served over gnocci which would normally be served with rice. Yours in Scrooginess. Brooke
10.01.2022 After a peak period of demand in March, meat sales have fallen significantly in April and many supermarkets are overstocked, with great markdowns currently available.

06.01.2022 Woolworths Weeky Specials Catalogues are back online, and although the specials are limited and availability not guaranteed. Coles has followed suit, with a limited specials catalogue available also. While the specials are limited, this is still a useful guide to help you get organised before heading to the supermarket. There are more fresh fruit and veg specials than usual in the catalogues, reflecting the good instore availability of these products over other non perishabl...e items. You may however find the cost of fresh foods not on special has increased significantly, as a supply shortage is coinciding with an increase in demand. At this time, careful meal planning is needed to make sure you stay within your food shopping budget. You may need to make changes to the meals your family would normally eat - get creative, use any additional time you may have at home and come up with some new favourites!

05.01.2022 I love plums! They are sweet, juicy and delicious - but for $13.99 a kilo at the supermarket yesterday it wasn't a fruit to fill the fruit bowl with! It isn't the season for plums, which means a limited supply and a higher purchase price. Bananas, grapefruit, and navel oranges are in season, so these fruits have a great supply and a lower cost per kilogram. Buying fruit and veg in season which help you reduce the cost of your regular grocery shop. But how do you know what ...produce is 'in season', and when? Seasonal Food Guide Australia has a table listing which fruit and veg is in season in Australia by State, or Australia in general at www.seasonalfoodguide.com. Take a peek at what is in season, and what is coming up - I can't wait for stone fruit in summer! Brooke McCallum Seasonal Food Guide Australia #fruits #savings #savingmoney #plum #freshfruit

04.01.2022 Woolworths has reinstated pickup services in more than 700 locations, ensuring a contactless service.

03.01.2022 What is the best way to purchase WISH (Wooloworths) Gift vouchers at 5% off the face value? If you are a Shopping Scrooge follower you will know I purchase these gift vouchers fortnightly at 5% off the face value for food and fuel. Normally I would purchase an Entertainment Book Membership each year which allowed me to purchase WISH cards in fixed values of $100, $200, $250, $300, $400 or $500, less my 5% discount. If you are a member of RACV, RACQ, HBF or other select memb...ership groups, you can also purchase WISH cards using your membership. More recently I have moved to @Cashrewards to purchase WISH cards. This site is free to join, and you can purchase gift cards in ANY dollar value between $5 and $500. That means if my online food shop after I apply my promo code is $236.59, I can purchase a gift card for $236.59 for a price of $224.75 (a saving of $11.83). Using my Entertainment Membership, I would have purchased a $200 Gift Card (a saving of $10) then paid the additional $36.59. (I could of course have purchased a higher value Gift Card leaving a balance to use the following fortnight). You can use the following link to join Cashrewards and receive $5 - at no charge of course, and we receive a small referral fee. https://refer.cashrewards.com.au/x/DobKtm
03.01.2022 Coles Catalogue Announcement As a temporary measure, Coles will no longer distribute Catalogues to households from this week in a bid to not disappoint customers. Due to unprecedented demand many specials promoted in the catalogue will not be available in store. Catalogues are also currently not available online.... For customers who build their shopping list on catalogue items to help them get the best value groceries each week, this will cause a disruption to normal shopping habits. How do you find out what is on special? You will need to visit a Coles store and look for the yellow tickets. Woolworths currently has a catalogue online and advises to download the Woolworths app to see what products are on the shelves at your local store.
