As the cost of living continues to rise, Australians look for ways to save on their weekly shop.
So, imagine the delight of a Coles shopper who discovered they scored a whopping $50 off their bill.
The customer expected to pay around $100 for their shop but shared their predicament on social media.
'Is this a common thing at Coles? My total was around $100, so I'm surprised they took off $50,' they wrote in a post, along with a photo of the unexpected discount.
'Either way, I'm a happy camper.'
This generous discount was more than a stroke of luck; it was part of Coles' ongoing Winter of Sports promo.
To qualify for the promo, customers who shop in-store or online should scan their Flybuys card.
Coles has announced that there are more than $4.1 million in prizes ready to be claimed.
Among the prizes are 'instant-win' ones that can slash from $10 to $100 off shop bills.
Other shoppers also shared their wins on social media.
'I won $100 off yesterday! I normally shop at Woolies, but I was near Coles, so I went there instead,' one shared.
'I got $20 off the other day. I love this promo. Every little bit helps,' another stated.
According to Finder research, an average Australian household spends about $191 for weekly groceries.
As groceries started becoming a significant financial stressor for 40 per cent of Aussies, any savings could make a substantial difference.
Coles' Winter of Sports could be a fantastic opportunity to stretch your dollars further.
'With 105,000 instant-win prizes up for the taking, lucky customers will have the option to apply the saving immediately or store it on their Flybuys account for future in-store shops until Saturday, 9 November,' a Coles spokesperson stated.
Apart from instant discounts, the promotion also offers daily prizes, including a year's worth of groceries valued at $13,500, $500 Coles gift cards, and 10,000 Flybuys points.
Appliances such as televisions, air fryers, and pizza ovens are also up for grabs.
To win any of the instant prizes or a chance to win a year's worth of Coles groceries, shoppers need to spend at least $20 in one transaction in-store or online.
Shoppers should also have their Flybuys card scanned to enter the draw.
Shoppers who spend $60 or more will earn three entries, giving them more chances to hit the jackpot.
Additionally, shoppers can get bonus entries by purchasing products from participating brands such as Finish, Head & Shoulders, Fancy Feast, Darrell Lea, and selected Coles brand products.
Coles' Winter of Sports will run until Tuesday, 10 September.
