21 August 2023: This Spring, Woolworths wants customers to spend less with them by taking advantage of specials and Prices Dropped and Low Price programs.

From Wednesday 23 August until 28 November 2023, Woolworths will drop the prices of more than 450 products as part of its seasonal Prices Dropped for Spring program.

Overall, the total saving across the basket of Price Dropped products is $615, or an average of 17% less.

Woolworths Supermarkets Managing Director, Natalie Davis said: “We know people are looking at every way to save right now and we’re encouraging our customers to spend less with us.

“Our research shows that customers are using more hacks to save on their grocery shops. Buying products on special is at the top of the list, with meal planning not far behind.

“With this in mind, we looked at how we could create healthier meal ideas, including affordable lamb roast, weekday dinners and healthier lunchbox snacks kids will love.”

As part of the Prices Dropped program, Woolworths has curated the products into meal ideas to help make it easier for customers to plan budget-friendly meals for their families.

The meals are in addition to the equivalent of 28 million meals created in Australia through Woolworths’ food diversion initiatives over the past year, which see excess edible food from Woolworths collected by food relief partners.
