The unexpected $8 product from Woolworths that’s a MASSIVE hit among shoppers – any guesses?
- Replies 16
Every major retailer is associated with a popular product that has successfully developed a cult following. For ALDI, it’s their beloved mattress-in-a-box, while Coles proudly boasts their internationally acclaimed Choc Chip Cookies!
However, Woolworths' best-selling product isn’t exactly a home staple or an iconic treat… It’s an item that you wouldn’t expect to make over 60,000 sales within the span of a month. Can you guess what it is?
Recently, Woolworths restocked an array of meerkat garden ornaments on their shelves – but don’t underestimate these cute statues as they are one of the supermarket giant’s best-selling buys.

They retail for $8 each with a wide range of characters to choose from, including a tiger, panda, and meerkats in adorable costumes.
A mum-of-two, Mumma Ren, announced the comeback on Facebook, sending hundreds of shoppers to flock to their local Woolworths store.
'The meerkats are back at Woolworths! I am sure there will be more designs to be released,' she revealed in her post alongside several images of the in-demand statues.
'I want them for my house!' one person declared.
Another added: 'So cute!’
In the comments section of the mum’s post, a shopper confessed to owning 157 of the meerkats so far and is thrilled to add more to their vast collection.

Because of the range’s history of being sold out immediately, the products are expected to be cleared from Woolworths’ shelves again as stock numbers are limited.
Shoppers are huge fans of the garden ornaments as they find them 'adorable' and 'cute'.
'How adorable are these meerkat statues? I’m currently at Woolworths and there are lots of different ones available!' one customer shared.
'They're so cute!' another gushed, while one more commented: 'I need to go get some!'
Last year’s range included animals dressed as Olympians, fairies, brides, and grooms. The supermarket also took things up a notch by rolling out solar-powered, light-up meerkats for $20 and $5 DIY meerkat painting kits.

Woolworths' General Manager for Everyday Needs, James Hepworth, previously said at the time that the supermarket was 'excited' for the restock after the statues gained such ‘huge popularity’.
'Customers exceeded the demand that we expected for meerkats last year. This year they'll find a range of new and quirky designs as well as personalities in an effort to get families out of the house and in the garden,' he stated.
The demand for gardening and DIY products has escalated since COVID-19 came into the picture, as millions of Aussies spent the majority of their time at home.
