As Australia's Fresh Food People, Woolworths (or "Woolies," as it's affectionately known) is a cornerstone of grocery shopping for millions. The key to making your money go further at Woolies is to master the Woolworths catalogue this week and pair it with their powerful Everyday Rewards loyalty program. This guide will break down the essential strategies for finding the best specials and maximizing your points.
The Star of the Show: Half-Price Specials
Just like its main competitor, the Coles catalogue, the most valuable part of the Woolworths catalogue is the "1/2 Price Specials." These are the deepest discounts offered and should be the first thing you look for when planning your shop.
- Plan to Stock Up: These sales are the ideal time to buy shelf-stable items in bulk. When your preferred brands of snacks, drinks, cleaning products, or vitamins are half price, purchasing several can lead to massive long-term savings.
- Discover New Products: A half-price sale is a low-risk opportunity to try a new product you've been curious about. If you don't like it, you've only spent half the usual price.
Beyond 50% Off: Other Key Catalogue Features
The savings don't stop at half price. The catalogue this week is full of other valuable promotions.
1. "Prices Dropped" and "Low Price Freeze"
Look for items tagged with "Prices Dropped." These are long-term price reductions on hundreds of everyday essentials, providing consistent value outside of the weekly specials cycle. The "Low Price Freeze" program also locks in low prices on key seasonal items for several months, helping with budget certainty.
2. Fresh Food Specials
True to their slogan, Woolworths always features strong deals on fresh produce, meat, seafood, and baked goods. The catalogue will highlight the best seasonal buys, making it easy to plan healthy and affordable meals for your family.
Supercharge Your Savings with Everyday Rewards
The Everyday Rewards program is essential for any regular Woolies shopper. It turns your everyday spending into real, tangible savings.
1. Boost Your Offers
This is the most critical part of the program. Every week, you need to log into the Everyday Rewards app or website to "boost" personalized offers. These can range from bonus points on specific products to multipliers on your entire shop (e.g., "10x points on fresh fruit"). You MUST boost the offers before you shop to receive the bonus points.
2. Choose Your Reward
Once you accumulate 2,000 Everyday Rewards points, you have a choice. You can get an automatic $10 off a future shop at Woolworths, or you can "bank" your points for Christmas to use for a big holiday shop. You can also convert your points to 1,000 Qantas Points for travel. Choose the option that best suits your goals.

Second, before you head to the store, open your Everyday Rewards app and boost every single offer available. By aligning the catalogue deals with your boosted points offers, you will not only save money instantly at the checkout but also rapidly accumulate points for even more savings down the line.
