With food prices going through the roof and pensions not stretching far enough, Aussies are always on the hunt for a good deal. Just recently, a Coles haul went viral, catching the eye of switched-on shoppers across the nation.

This clever cookie snagged a massive discount, nearly 99 per cent off her groceries. Want to know her secret so you can grab a piece of the action? Read on to find out!

This Coles haul was posted on the 'Mums on a Budget - Australia' Facebook page by a savvy shopper. She revealed an unbelievable bargain at the Inglewood branch in Perth, where she got her mitts on nearly two dozen pre-packaged Coles Kitchen salad bowls for a fraction of the usual cost.

Normally, these bowls set you back $6.50 each, but our thrifty shopper scored them for a measly 10 cents each! The bowls were plastered with two 'quick sale' stickers, meaning they'd been knocked down in price twice. This typically happens to food that's about to expire and needs to be sold off quickly.

On special were the Coles Kitchen Asian Chicken Salad Bowl, Coles Kitchen Sweet Potato Superfood Salad Bowl, and Coles Kitchen Classics Mixed Leaf Garden Salad, all tipping the scales at a hearty 180g each.

The mum shared a cheeky line in her post, 'I guess we're having salad for dinner.' Her post sparked quite the buzz, racking up over 400 likes and a heap of reactions.

In a top-notch act of kindness, the mum only bought a couple of the salad bowls, leaving the rest for other punters to have a crack at the ripper bargain.

At a time when lots of Aussies are feeling the pinch from rising food costs, this deal couldn't come at a better time. A report from UBS investment bank tells us that food and grocery prices at Coles and Woolworths jumped a massive 9.6 per cent in April.

Even though Coles argues with that number, saying they used a different method to work out inflation, it's clear Aussies are paying more for their grub.

Here’s a real-life story to show just how much. A reporter from news.com.au had to pay a whopping $31.20 for some everyday items like butter, bread, milk, cheese slices, and a jar of Vegemite. That's a world away from what we used to pay, as shown by an old receipt from 1992 that a social media user found in a book.

Back then, nearly three kilograms of white onions, potato chips, and two packs of sausages cost only $17.50. They even knocked off two cents from the total, and there was no GST (Goods and Services Tax).

That's why the deal on salads, shared by a regular in the Facebook group, stands out. The same shopper once got a $23 glass mixing bowl from Woolies for only $1.50.

She waited for the bowl's price to be cut in half to $11.50, and then used $10 worth of Woolworths rewards. This brought the final price down to just $1.50, showing that if you're patient and smart, you can find ways to beat the high costs.

Key Takeaways

• A photo of an extremely cheap Coles haul has gone viral, revealing almost 99 per cent in savings.
• The supermarket's Inglewood branch in Perth discounted almost two dozen pre-packaged Coles Kitchen salad bowls by 98.5 per cent.
• The salads were priced at 10c each, down from $6.50, and had two 'quick sale' stickers applied, indicating double discounts on products close to their expiry dates.
• The amazing deal comes as millions of Australians struggle with soaring food costs, with Coles and Woolworths experiencing a 9.6 per cent surge in food and grocery prices in April.

So, keep your eyes peeled for those quick sale stickers.

With a little patience and a sharp eye, you can also score fantastic discounts on your groceries. Because let's face it, every dollar saved is a dollar earned, right? So, what's the best deal you've ever found?

I would be wary at even paying full price for the salad bowls but reduced that much the expiry date has to be The date they were reduced as all salad bowls including packaged salad leaves only ever have a few days.

Cut the crap! She had to spend $100 to get the $10 voucher, so she actually paid $101.50 for that bowl.

Cut the crap! She had to spend $100 to get the $10 voucher, so she actually paid $101.50 for that bowl.

Technically yes, but the points earned to receive this discount were earned buying other things that she DID need. It is not a straight forward process.

 

[AlanQ]

Cut the crap! She had to spend $100 to get the $10 voucher, so she actually paid $101.50 for that bowl.

Totally agree with your sentiment, but did she spend $100 or $1000? Aren't the rewards 1 point (.01c)for every $ spend?

 

[Trudi]

I have been buying specials such as these for decades at Coles. Nothing new.

Can someone explain FlyBys shopping at Coles?

Can someone explain FlyBys shopping at Coles?

Flybuys is a reward system based on your shopping. It is available in several places, not just Coles. For every dollar you spend, you get one point. After you get 2000 points you can get $10 off your shopping or save it up to use later, and in other places other than Coles. I collect my dollars and use it in Kmart to buy other things, which doesnt cost me as I have earned the dollars on the things I would buy anyway. The reward card is free, as it is obviously a marketing strategy to collect data but if you use if sensibly it can be quite useful. There are often bonus rewards for doing certain things or buying advertised products. You dont need to do this, it's all a matter of choice.

What a joke - as when they are on special like this you have basic only 24hrs to eat it and this stuff you can't freeze, so in the end instead of Coles throwing it this person is going to be throw it out.

 

[marilena]

I have been buying specials such as these for decades at Coles. Nothing new.

Well then you are very lucky because never saw any such specials at my coles.

 

[puzzle solver]

No matter what time l shop at Coles l have never been lucky enough to find any reduced goods

I was lucky enough to get a reduced hot cooked chicken for $12.00 I thought it was small so I took photos and weighed it. 772gm of meat including stuffing and 292 grm of very small chicken frame and leg bones. 772 grm and of meat for $12 equates to $15.54 a kilo.
The bargain was it was cooked and ready to eat. The frame and neck was half the length of the bag. Wow I thought I had a bargain.
More of a spatchcock than a chicken
