Down for meaty deals? Coles offers discounts for over 300 products!

Many drift towards hearty stews, rich casseroles, and the kind of warming, comforting meals synonymous with the cooler months. But with the cost of living on the rise, many are watching their budget, making it all the more important to find ways to enjoy these seasonal delights without feeling the pinch.

Enter Coles, a familiar name to all but perhaps not the first place you'd think of for a meaty bargain.

Yet, this supermarket giant has recently launched a budget-friendly bonanza that's got everyone talking—and it's all about meat.



With over 300 meat products discounted, Coles is making it easier for home chefs to whip up those comforting dinner classics without breaking the bank.

As part of their 'Down Down' promotional pricing scheme, which now includes approximately 500 items, Coles has introduced some mouth-watering deals that are too good to pass up.

For instance, the Coles Lamb Shanks 2 Pack is now available at a reduced price of $8.50/kg, down from $9.50/kg.

And for those who love a good steak, the Coles No Added Hormones Beef Oyster Blade Steak 500g has been marked down to $11 from $13.

These deals are not just fleeting sales; they're part of an initiative to help shoppers save money and enjoy delicious meals right through the season.

A recent survey of over 7,000 Coles customers revealed a savvy shopping trend: 85 per cent of patrons regularly bulk purchase and freeze meat to take advantage of sale prices.



Coles Chief Commercial Officer Anna Croft understood the importance of seasonal comforts.

'Autumn comes with the comforts of home cooking, and to help households save money and cook hearty meals, we've lowered the price of a range of popular meat cuts for the next three months, including our much-loved lamb shanks, perfect for the colder weather,' she said.

But the savings don't stop at meat.

Coles has also slashed prices on a variety of other household essentials, from coffee to laundry liquid and even canned vegetables.

And for those with a sweet tooth, the deals extend to desserts as well. Nanna's Frozen Blackberry & Apple Pies 4 pack 450g has been reduced to $4 from $5, while Coles Bakery Chocolate and Caramel Mud Cake varieties are now $5.75, down from $6.40.



With these discounts, Coles is not just a place to meet at the checkout; it's a destination for savvy shoppers looking to indulge in the richness of autumn cooking without the hefty price tag.

It’s not all good news though. Their price for whole butt eye fillet raised from $42 per kg to $49per kg between Thursday last week and yesterday. Also the price of Harvati cheese increased by 33% between those times. Just a tiny example of how vigilante shoppers must be.

It seems Coles and WW are starting to panic and trying to make it look like they are not price gouging. Despite all the price drops, they are still ripping us off, especially with meat and F&V. For every item they drop the price on they up the price on other goods to make up for it. They treat us like we are stupid. I've noticed my local Aldi store is getting very busy lately compared to what it used to be.

I love the Seniors Discount Club writers overly-enthusiastic descriptions of actions such as Coles slightly reducing prices calling it "Slashing Prices". 10.5% reduction (lamb shanks) doesn't count as price slashing in my book.
 
Coles have upped the prices by huge mark-ups on many, many more everyday items in the space of a week! For example
4 X SPC Baked beans. $6 to $6.50
Everything on my list that day (2 weeks ago) had rocketed in price!

So don't be fooled by Coles propaganda. They just manoeuvre prices by increasing the most popular items and reducing the ones people don't buy.

I also noticed that some of their cheaper lines had disappeared off the shelf altogether leaving the more expensive brands.

Woolworths and Coles are NIT afraid of government intervention because the government is merely paying lip service and pretending to be outraged. If they realky cared they would throw open the doors to other international supermarkets.
