Shop at Woolies and feel OK about it

Once a year Woolies has a crazy sale that goes on for a few weeks. Over time the discounts – which start at 40% to 50% off – increase. Eventually you can get items at rock bottom prices you can’t even find elsewhere.

 

If you are cash strapped or under debt review you probably don’t remember what the inside of Woolies looks like. While they may have the occasional deal their higher price for items (in general) will scare off shopping savvy consumers. That said when Woolies have their end of Winter sale each year suddenly that all changes. Sure they are still trying to tempt you in the door with a selection of sale items in the hope you will buy other things at full price which you see along the way. But if you can put on your smart shopper living on less blinkers and head straight for the sale rail you may be able to score.

 

Shop smart and a get a great deal

shoppingAdmittedly you have to wait a bit for the prices to drop and this means that much of the stock in “normal” or “popular” sizes will disappear but if you have a budget and are able to avoid the feeling of shopping mania that can sneak over you when everyone else is tearing at items you will find great deals and not spend money that you don’t need to.

 

 

AND…SHOP!

That time of year has now arrived as Woolworths begin to clear their shops of older stock in preparation for the summer season.

 

Join the Club. It’s free

woolies w rewardsYou can also get a W Rewards card (which doesn’t cost you anything) which gets you an extra 10% discount or access to specials on multiple items. W Rewards members often get 3 items for the price of 2 which can suddenly make a borderline item very affordable and good value for money.

 

 

Use discretion

Steer clear of the BRAND NAME items (which are also temptingly marked down but are still very expensive) and you can make off with a bargain or two. So why not have a look? If needs be leave the wallet or purse at home for the first visit and go back tomorrow. If that bargain priced item is still there in your size…maybe it was meant to be.
