Woolworths is cheaper today — $4.20, against $7.70 at Coles.
It is on special right now — 6% off its usual $4.45, and the cheapest we have ever recorded it.
Is it dearer than it used to be? Coles is charging the same as it was in June.
Some links earn us a commission. It never changes the price you pay, or which shop we say is cheaper.
When it has been on special
| Dates | Shop | Price | Saving | Days seen |

“Days seen” is how many days we recorded that price, not how long the special ran — we do not check every shop every day. “Saving” is measured against the usual price we have observed, not against a price the shop has advertised.
