- Replies 8
In the current climate of rising living costs, finding ways to stretch the household budget is more critical than ever.
It's no secret that grocery bills can significantly drain our finances, but one mum has shown that with a bit of know-how and timing, you can fill your pantry without emptying your wallet.
The story of this mum's incredible markdown haul has been making waves across social media, offering a beacon of hope for budget-conscious shoppers.
In a post that has captured the attention of bargain hunters nationwide, she revealed how her husband managed to snag an assortment of bakery items from Woolworths for the astonishing total of just $3.30.
The social media post, which originated in the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook group, included a photo showcasing a variety of breads and muffins with their slashed prices.
The haul featured bagels for 40 cents, a four-pack of brioche burger buns for 65 cents, a six-pack of sourdough English muffins for 55 cents, and gluten-free muffins for 75 cents.
However, the eagle-eyed among the group spotted a packet of muffins labelled at $4.95, prompting questions about the total cost.
The mum quickly clarified that the $4.95 muffins were purchased at full price earlier, while the rest were part of the later markdown bonanza.
The community's response was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the husband's shopping prowess and others sharing their tales of markdown success.
‘He's done well,’ one said.
‘Woo hoo, great score,’ another echoed.
‘You trained him well!’ a third noted.
‘I once only found discounted gluten-free muffins, but not as cheap as these, and I go to my Coles at all hours to get lucky again, but nope. The gf muffins are actually not bad!’ a different member recounted.
After a user inquired, others shared tips for finding the best markdowns.
‘Go early morning or evening,’ one suggested.
‘Sunday night always seems to be a winner for me,’ another added.
A different shopper contributed: ‘You can always just ask staff for the store you want to go to. Because every store is different.’
Another person recommended visiting your local supermarket at various times of day to identify any patterns.
In related news, Coles shopper Alexandria shared how she saved $151.53 on heavily discounted meats at Coles, paying only $8.47 for a $160 haul.
She visited her local Coles at 6 pm on Easter Saturday and discovered many products at greatly reduced prices. Read more about it here.
