Save Time, Cut Costs & Reduce Mealtime Stress
1. Plan Ahead with a Weekly Meal Plan
Take 10–15 minutes at the start of each week to plan out your family meals. This helps you avoid impulse buys and ensures you’re only purchasing what you need. Woolworths’ online recipe hub is a great place to find family-friendly meals that are quick, affordable, and nutritious.
Pro Tip: Involve the kids in choosing one meal each—they're more likely to enjoy it!
2. Shop with a List
(and Stick to It)
A written list (or a digital one on your phone) is your best friend. Organise it by category—produce, pantry, dairy, etc.—to cut down on backtracking in the store. Woolworths’ online shopping tool lets you build your list and check real-time prices before you arrive.
3. Take Advantage of Woolworths Specials
Every week, Woolworths features great specials on fresh food, pantry items, and household products. Be sure to check the weekly catalogue before your visit to score savings on your family’s favourites. Look out for multibuy offers, freezer deals, and bonus reward point promotions.
Visit woolworths.com.au for current specials and to start building your shopping list.
4. Buy in Bulk (When It Makes Sense)
For staple items your family uses regularly—like rice, pasta, cereal, or cleaning supplies—buying in bulk can save money in the long run. Just be sure to check unit pricing and only bulk-buy what you can store and use in time.
5. Shop Seasonal for Fresh Produce
Seasonal fruit and vegetables are not only more affordable, but also fresher and tastier. Woolworths highlights seasonal produce in-store, making it easier to pick what's best right now. Try incorporating seasonal veggies into meals to reduce your fresh food spend.
6. Consider Woolworths’ Home Brand Options
Don’t overlook Woolworths’ own brands such as Essentials and Macro. These options often offer the same quality as name brands at a lower price—perfect for budget-conscious families.
7. Minimise Waste with Smart Storage
Avoid throwing away unused food by storing it properly and planning to use leftovers. Woolworths stocks a great range of food storage containers and wraps to keep your meals fresher for longer.
