We’ve rounded up the best supermarket deals going around to make the most wonderful time of the year even better!
Whether you’re shopping for one or many, it’s becoming more difficult to ignore the increasing tally at the bottom of a grocery shop receipt.
We often hear that cost of living is rising and continuing to heighten competition between Australia’s major supermarket chains, which means more deals than ever – the tricky part is knowing where to find them!
Supermarket deals 101 – how to sniff out a bargain
When it comes to being a savvy grocery shopper, catalogues are your bible. Most supermarkets drop their weekly specials catalogues every Wednesday, which is when you should be scoping for the best deals.
Better yet, many supermarkets allow you to subscribe to their online catalogue, meaning you’ll get a sneak peek of the coming week’s specials delivered to your inbox.
Coles Flybuys and Woolworths Everyday rewards members should also receive a heads-up about promotions. These can be ludicrous at times (we’re talking thousands of frequent flyer points) so don’t let those go to your junk!
Scouting the best deals can be overwhelming at the best of times, let alone amidst the festive mayhem, but not to worry – we’ve got you covered!
