How half price works at each supermarket

Knowing the reset day is the difference between paying full price and paying half.

Woolworths

Every Wednesday

The half price section sits at the front of the weekly catalogue and resets Wednesday morning. Deals run seven days, to close of trade Tuesday.

Coles

Every Wednesday

Coles runs its half price specials Wednesday to Tuesday, with separate metro and regional catalogues for each state, so prices can differ by postcode.

ALDI

Wednesday & Saturday

ALDI prices are everyday-low rather than half price, but the twice-weekly Special Buys drops are where the deepest one-off discounts land.

IGA

Every Wednesday

IGA half price deals change Wednesday. Because stores are independently owned, the Local Grocer, Medium and Large catalogues carry different ranges.

Chemist Warehouse

Thursday, monthly

Chemist Warehouse discounts vitamins, skincare and fragrance in longer catalogues that start Thursday and often run three to four weeks.

Five ways to get more out of half price week

  1. 1

    Shop on Wednesday, not Tuesday

    Coles, Woolworths and IGA all reset on Wednesday. Shopping the day before means paying full price for items that halve overnight.

  2. 2

    Stock up on the non-perishables

    Half price only comes around every few weeks for a given product. Laundry, coffee, nappies, toothpaste and pet food are worth buying to the next cycle.

  3. 3

    Cross-check the same product across stores

    A half price deal at one chain is often matched or beaten by a plain low price at another. Open two catalogues side by side before committing.

  4. 4

    Watch the unit price, not the ticket

    A larger pack at 30% off frequently beats a smaller pack at half price. The per-100g or per-litre figure on the shelf tag is the honest comparison.

  5. 5

    Save the catalogue and build a list

    Bookmark the catalogues you care about, add the deals to your shopping list, and take the list into the store instead of re-hunting the specials.

Half price specials — questions

What day do half price specials start in Australia?

At Coles, Woolworths and IGA the new half price specials start every Wednesday and run through to close of trade the following Tuesday. Pharmacy chains such as Priceline, Amcal and Chemist Warehouse start their catalogues on Thursday.

Are half price specials the same in every state?

No. Coles, Woolworths and IGA publish separate catalogues for NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA and TAS, and metro and regional editions differ. Always check the state tag on the catalogue before planning a shop.

Does ALDI do half price specials?

ALDI does not run a weekly half price program. It uses everyday low pricing plus Special Buys, which are limited-run ranges released every Wednesday and Saturday while stock lasts.

How long do half price deals last?

Supermarket half price deals run for seven days. Pharmacy and department store catalogues run longer, commonly two to four weeks, so there is less urgency on those.

Can I get half price deals online as well as in store?

Usually yes — catalogue pricing normally applies to both online orders and in-store purchases for the same trading period, though delivery slots and stock limits can vary.

How do I know when a product will be half price again?

Most grocery lines cycle through a half price promotion every four to six weeks. Following the store’s catalogue each week is the reliable way to catch the next one.
