EDR Targeted Bonus Point Promotions

I think it depends on what you buy.

In my experience they are usually very similar.

It does, and I suppose it varies by store and state. Our coles must be the expensive one

For some completely unexplained reason, Vitabrits irks me... woollies has them for $4.59 a box, coles (right next door) the price is $5.05.

People local to me swear that Coles is cheaper. I think I really need to do a comparison on same products. Coles is more convenient for me to visit. We'll see.

It won't be the same for everyone.

I find Coles has some good specials one day and Woolworths has some good specials on another day.

except for those of us with apple products

It works fine on my MBP using Firefox.

I find something is on special one week at WW, then Coles and then at IGA.

Or buying at better than 50% off specials at whatever store offers them is my preferred for most staples. A large walk-in-pantry (aka bulk storage!) allows great savings. That and a separate freezer.

So I'm not alone with that strategy

Motto: 'If it's not on special then don't buy it!'

Why not stock up the next time they are 'less than half price'?

The last time we paid full price was 2010. Although I miscalculated how many were left on the top shelf of WIP - counting the days until last packet runs out (so must be a half price special coming soon...).

We had a family divide up until then. I preferred Weetbix and the mob preferred Vitabrits.

Once the half price specials started (so price even below generic brand versions!) I slowly converted. It took a while but to me the VBs always seemed to tastes 'dusty' vs the WB.

lol - that's what I do! Can get them for $2.45 at woollies 'half price'. But I needed a packet to tide me over till the next offer. They were however on sale at coles last week, but $3.

but Coles is more expensive Specials aside - we have Coles/Woollies side by side - Coles is cheaper on some dairy, but is up to 80c-$1 more (per item) on other products.

I guess YMMV, but pocketing the savings in a piggy bank each week would get you the fastest seat redemption of any program world-wide!

If we do our "average weekly shop" at either of the two stores, Coles always costs more.

Are there specific products you see a difference with or is this an average?

 

[snabbu]

Have shifted most of our shopping to Aldi since I heard about the rumor at the start of the month that QF points will be a thing of the past at Woolies. Still go to WW for specific brand items or if a decent offer is available but this will stop if the QF point option vanishes.

GG.

Our Coles shop seems to cost up to $20 a week more when buying the standard items we need each week. Some items more expensive, some cheaper, but overall it costs more every time.

Dad - 500 bonus points for $75 spend
Brother - 500 bonus points for $100 spend
Wife - 500 bonus points for $100 spend
Me - 500 bonus points for $120 spend

Dad has 2 offers this week. The offer above and a we miss you offer. If Dad spends $75 this week are both offers achieved?

 

[Major]

1000 points for $275 spend...I don't think so

Buy on rumour, sell on fact?

500 points for $100 spend.

Will use and combine with my recent shareholder offer of $10 off $100 spend.

You can claim 2 or more everyday rewards offers on the same transaction provided you use the correct card, meet the right targets and fit in with the expiry dates. A $75 transaction would qualify for both the $75 offer and the $50 offer(I'm just going from memory here on the target for the other offer).

 

[chelzmalee]

500/$120. Nope. Got a 1000 bonus points on $70+ spend at Coles this week instead.

Might be heading back to Aldi for a few things, though.

 

[penegal]

500 points for $100 spend.

Same same.

 

[Natalie_B]

After getting lots of ridiculous offers ($275 for 500 points) I put my card to the back of my wallet and have been scanning the kids cards. Today I received an offer of 500 for $75 spend - much more realistic!

 

[blackcat20]

250 for $35 after missing last weeks $30 offer.
