What Coles and Woolies Staff Buy for Their Own Families

📗 Not Made of Money: 57 chapters on running an Aussie home for less https://jodietanner.com/ If you reckon the people who work at Coles and Woolies get their groceries cheap, they don't. The staff discount is five percent. So they don't shop on a perk. They shop on what they know, from forty hours a week watching what gets marked down, what comes back, and what the signs say versus what the register says. Over twenty-five years of being a talker in those two shops, I've worked out how they feed their own families, and none of it needs a staff card. In this one I'll walk you through what Coles and Woolies staff actually buy, and what they walk straight past: 🏷️ Home brand on the boring stuff, and the swaps that stick (and the few that don't) 🔍 Why they never trust a Down Down or Prices Dropped ticket, and the little unit price they read instead 🥩 The half-price cycle, delivery days, and how the markdowns really work, plus why the yellow-sticker meat goes straight in the freezer 🥕 What they never buy (end-of-aisle displays, pre-cut veg, meal kits) and what they do (ugly produce, frozen veg, what's in season) …plus how they use the loyalty app without being played by it, and the scanning code that gets you the item free. They stopped believing the shop and started believing their own eyes. You can too, from your very next shop. If keeping more of your money sounds good to you, subscribe and stick around. 💙 What's the best thing you've ever learned from someone who works at the shops?
