Can these supermarket apps drastically reduce your grocery bills?

We here at SDC love finding new ways to save, especially when it comes to grocery shopping. Whether it's checking the prices of different stores, using discount vouchers, or preparing ahead of time to ensure we don't end up throwing away fresh produce, it's important to be smart and resourceful with our grocery shopping.

But with food prices on the rise and the festive season fast approaching, it's even more important to try and save money when shopping.

Lucky for us, technology has made it a whole lot easier to save a few extra bucks in the supermarket.


Shoppers no longer need to spend hours hopping from one store to another in search of the best prices and finding discount codes to use at the checkout tills, thanks to these four apps.

1. The Coles app

Coles has launched an app that complements their existing website, which offers the same services.

It has arrived just in time to help families save for the upcoming festive season.

With this app, shoppers can easily compare prices, shop for groceries online, and add to their FlyBuys points.


2. The Woolworths Everyday Rewards app

Woolworths’ grocery app has been around for years and is incredibly user-friendly.

Through the app, members can track their Everyday Rewards points and, even better, shoppers can get $10 off their shop for every 2000 points earned.

Woolies also offer products that act as 'reward boosters', allowing shoppers to accumulate points faster when purchasing certain brands.


3. Shopfully

Through Shopfully, shoppers can easily access catalogues from multiple supermarkets and retailers, including Coles, ALDI, Woolworths, and Chemist Warehouse.

This makes it simple to gather current specials, promos, and deals from different stores.

The catalogues are usually updated weekly, so you’ll never miss a deal.

4. Half Price

If you want to make drastic savings on your grocery bills over the holidays, then Half-Price is the perfect app.

You can easily search for products that are half-priced at multiple retailers to maximise your savings on pantry staples and fresh produce.

Users will simply have to select their state, and the app will show the best deals in the chosen area.

We have been using the Woolies Every Day rewards for years now, we shop online and get free home delivery. We also use their Christmas saving fund and so far have accumulated just over $200 for this years Christmas Shopping.....the home delivery service is great, you pick a time which suits you for delivery and the drivers/delivery guys we have found to be very friendly and courteous. For those that don't want the hassle of shopping in the Supermarket or have health issues that prevent them from shopping instore I would highly recommend this Company and its service. 😉W.

Not everybody is clued up on apps, I know several people who don't even know what an app is.
I agree with your comments about some people perhaps not knowing what an app is - there are also many elderly who do not have computers to access some things and benefit from these credits.

A few years ago I received the equivalent of $150 in cards from a site I did surveys for - chose to take 3 x $50 gift cards from different grocery retailers & gave the cards to my 3 adult children with additional cash at Christmas time. Nowadays we just take our credit at checkout from Woolworths when a cashier says we have $10 built up and that comes off our bill.
