Coles offers the cheapest price of lamb in four years—don’t miss out!
- Replies 8
As the cost of living continues to rise, Australians are always on the lookout for ways to stretch their dollars further, especially when it comes to the weekly grocery shop.
For those who enjoy the rich, savoury taste of lamb, good news is on the horizon.
Coles has recently announced a significant price drop on lamb, offering the lowest prices seen in four years, providing a much-needed reprieve for budget-conscious shoppers.
Starting January 11, Coles is tempting customers with Australian Lamb Loin Chops at $16 per kilo, a substantial 25 per cent saving that's sure to have lamb lovers flocking to the meat aisle.
It's not just the loin chops that are seeing a price slash.
Lamb Cutlets, a perennial favourite for their tenderness and flavour, are also on sale for $29 per kilo, down $5 from their regular price.
However, it's important to note that these mouth-watering prices are only available for a limited time—until Tuesday, January 23—so it's best to act quickly to take advantage of these offers.
In a competitive move, rival Woolworths is also offering its Lamb Mid Loin Chops for $22 per kilo, reduced from $28, and Lamb Cutlets for $34 per kilo, down from $43, as part of its Prices Dropped campaign.
Woolworths has extended its Prices Dropped offer on lamb, including 20 per cent off standard lamb cuts, until January 31, with deals such as Lamb Leg Roast at $8 per kilo and Forequarter Chops at $12.50 per kilo.
But Coles isn't stopping at lamb.
The supermarket has announced price reductions on over 300 products for the next 12 weeks, encompassing a wide range of categories, including meats, deli, seafood, health and beauty, baby products, pantry and bakery items, as well as back-to-school essentials.
Shoppers can expect to see discounts on beef sizzle steaks, beef rump steaks, porterhouse steak two packs, and scotch fillet two packs, among others.
Andy Mossop, Coles’ Executive General Manager of Fresh, emphasised the supermarket's commitment to providing customers with value throughout the year.
'Our customers are seeking lower prices and immediate value more than ever,' Mossop said.
'We’ve lowered the price on a variety of essentials and customer favourites, including a selection of household staples such as cheese, coffee, pasta, dishwashing tablets, baby needs and more.'
Moreover, seasonal fruit and vegetables are also more affordable compared to last year, with avocados, rockmelons, watermelons, eggplants, and cauliflower all seeing significant price reductions.
This is a boon for those looking to maintain a healthy diet without breaking the bank.
The price drop comes at a time when Coles, along with other supermarket giants, has faced criticism for not passing on lower prices to consumers.
The timing is particularly pertinent as the government has warned it will use 'all available levers' to ensure businesses pass on lower costs to customers.
With a review of the Food and Grocery Code of Conduct underway, led by former Labor minister Craig Emerson, and a separate senate inquiry into allegations of price gouging by supermarket giants, the pressure is on for Coles and Woolworths to demonstrate their commitment to fair pricing.
As Coles and Woolworths continue to record substantial profits, with Coles netting a $1.1 billion profit last financial year and Woolworths posting a $1.6 billion profit, the scrutiny on their pricing strategies is higher than ever.
It is understood that Coles and Woolworths CEOs have confirmed their attendance to the upcoming inquiry.
This news also comes after farmers reported an oversupply of sheep in late 2023, which has led to a drop in prices.
The current sheep surplus is a result of favourable weather conditions over the past three years.
Higher-than-average rainfall has led to an abundance of grass, allowing farmers to feed and breed more sheep.
However, farmers have been struggling to make ends meet, with some even resorting to killing their sheep on their farms rather than selling them due to the low returns.
