Coles is cheaper today — $1.65, against $4.00 at Woolworths.
It has not moved from $1.65 in the 5 days we have checked, so there is nothing to wait for.
Is it dearer than it used to be? Woolworths 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 Oct | Woolworths | $4.00 | 50% | 1 |

“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.
