How Coles and Woolworths Half Price Specials Work
Every week, Coles and Woolworths each cut the price of hundreds of branded products by 50%. These half price specials cover coffee, tea, cereal, biscuits, chocolate, soft drinks, snacks, frozen meals, cleaning products, laundry liquid, toiletries, nappies and pet food. Specials start on Wednesday and finish on Tuesday, so the countdown above always shows when the next round begins.
Why the two supermarkets rarely match
Coles and Woolworths plan their specials separately. In the same week, one may have a coffee brand at half price while the other discounts a competing brand. That is why comparing both lists side by side, as on this page, is one of the easiest ways to cut your grocery bill without changing what you buy.
Stock up, but check the unit price
Because half price items rotate every few weeks, long-life products such as coffee, pasta, canned food, toilet paper and cleaning products are worth stocking up on when they hit 50% off. Always compare the unit price on the shelf ticket: a half price national brand is not always cheaper than a full price own-brand product, and larger packs are not always better value.
Prices differ by state
Both supermarkets publish different catalogue editions for different parts of Australia, so a product that is half price in Sydney may not be on special in Perth or Darwin. Select your local store on the official website to see the specials that apply to you.
Tips to Save More
- Shop early in the week. Popular half price items can sell out by the weekend, and some have purchase limits.
- Use loyalty programs. Flybuys at Coles and Everyday Rewards at Woolworths can add bonus points on top of half price deals.
- Compare with ALDI. For everyday staples, ALDI often has lower regular prices than half price branded items.

Half Price Specials This Week – Questions & Answers
When do Coles and Woolworths half price specials start?
Both supermarkets start new specials every Wednesday, and they run until the following Tuesday. Wednesday morning is usually the best time to shop before popular items sell out.
Are half price specials the same at Coles and Woolworths?
No. Each supermarket chooses its own half price products, but they often discount competing brands in the same category in the same week. Comparing both lists can help you find the better deal.
How often do products come back to half price?
Half price specials rotate. Many popular branded groceries return to half price every few weeks to a few months, so stocking up on long-life items when they are half price saves money between cycles.
Where do the half price deals on this page come from?
The list shows half price deals posted by the OzBargain shopping community, refreshed every few hours. It is a selection, not the full catalogue, so always check the official website or your local store for the complete list and prices in your state.
