Savvy mum shares little-known tip to save big bucks at Woolworths
A savvy mother-of-five has shared a valuable hack that has seen her save up to $80 in her Woolworths grocery shop.
Posting a video on TikTok sharing the little-known tip, Kate revealed how two simple steps can shave 14 per cent off the monthly grocery bill.
The mum explained the steps saved her $80 on her most recent shopping trip, and how they can be repeated “every single month”.
In her video, Kate explains how buying a Woolworths mobile SIM card gives you a 10 per cent discount to use each month.
She goes on to explain that buying Woolworths gift cards on the supermarket’s app gives you an extra 4 per cent discount, with the gift cards themselves able to be spent on groceries.
“I saved a fortune on my groceries today, and I’m going to give you a couple of little hacky hacks and tell you how because it’s f****** expensive out there,” she said.
“Step one, you’re going to grab yourself a Woolworths mobile SIM card. Not only is it going to save you money because it’s not a s**** plan that has crappy inclusions - it’s actually really decent and pay-as-you-go, so you’re not going to put yourself in debt."
“What this also does is give you a code every single month for 10 per cent off your grocery totals."
“So, if you save that code for a week when you do a big pantry top-up - grab your nappies, grab those extra cleaning products, whatever it might be, use that 10 per cent off code. It works."
“I mean, they say up to $500 but I just did one slightly over $500 and it still gave me the full 10 per cent off.”
The mum then shared how buying Woolworths gift cards through the supermarket’s app can also help you save.
“Once you have that grocery total, after your 10 per cent offer’s been taken off, you’re then going to log back into your Woolworths mobile account because that’s going to give you access to discounted gift cards,” she continued.
“You can grab a Woolworths gift card for 4 per cent off and then pay for your groceries using that discounted gift card. That gives you a further saving of 4 per cent, making your total 14 per cent - before you’ve even shopped specials, you’ve saved some money.”
She hoped that by sharing the tips she could help struggling Aussie families save some money on essentials going into the festive season.
