Woolworths employee reveals major secret
A Woolworths employee has revealed the answer to one of the most asked questions by shoppers: What time should you shop to score markdown specials?
Taking to Facebook, the store's employee shared exactly when prices on particular items are reduced.
She explained that different items get reduced at different times of the day, so depending on what items you need will determine when you should shop.
“I work at Woolworths and I do bread markdowns at 7 pm every night,” she revealed.
“I also do produce, meat and dairy. But they also do markdowns in the morning as well, not sure what time because I work night shifts.
“There’s also a possibility that other stores do it at different times of the day.”
Another person commented saying that morning markdowns happen in-store before 11am.
But the timings do not apply to all stores, as the price reduction depends on stock levels.
“I work at a major supermarket, there is no set time,” one employee said.
“I see people with these awesome markdowns, comment on what a bargain they’ve got and good on them.
“It’s pretty much pot luck with markdowns.”
Meanwhile, Coles and Woolworths shoppers suggested getting to know your local store’s habits.
“The store manager or department manager in each and every store has their own routines,” one shopper said.
“Just get to know your local store’s habits.”
