Woolies slashes the price of everyday items
Woolworths has slashed the prices of everyday items to help Aussies with the rising cost of living.
The supermarket giant announced from May 4 more than 300 seasonal staples will be included in the price cut.
Woolworths’ Chief Commercial Officer Paul Harker explained the decision was important to help support customers and the team as the cost of living increases and ahead of the cooler weather.
“As we move to colder weather conditions, we know there’s a huge appetite for these winter warmers,” he said.
“We recognise that cost-of-living pressures are being felt by our customers and our team, and it’s important we continue to help them save each time they shop.
“We work really hard with our suppliers and we look at what our customers are buying at this time of the year and we look for all the ways that we can try and provide value.”
Products set to be discounted include: Chicken Breast (was $14.50 now $14), Pork Leg Roast (was $11/kg now $9/kg), Cheer Cheese Slices (was $9.30 now $8.50), Odd Bunch Potatoes 4kg (was $5.90 now $4.50) and the WW Soup Range 300g (was $3 now $2.50).
Some medications will also be cheaper including: Dimetapp Kids Cough Plus Immune 200ml (was $19 now $15) and Betadine Anaesthetic Lozenges Berry 36pk (was $15 now $10.50).
Mr Harker also announced that more than 650 Woolies brand products will be added to the rewards program which will see more savings for customers.
“Not only are we reducing the prices of more than 300 winter staples, we’re also introducing more than 650 own-brand products including flour, sugar, snack foods and other essential items to Low Price, which means customers can expect the prices of these products to remain consistent while on the Low Price program.”
