Half-price specials: Best Woolworths, Coles deals this week

Every week, without fail, Coles and Woolworths sell a bunch of grocery items at half the usual price.

Why would they do such a thing? How can they make any money doing that?

The 50%-off products bring customer feet through the door. Once lured in, both Woolworths and Coles know they're likely to buy other full-priced items to complete their shopping baskets.

The half-price specials also distinguish Coles and Woolworths from rising challenger Aldi. The German budget chain does have its own weekly specials, but in terms of price percentage off they don't come anywhere near 50%-off.

For your convenience, Yahoo Finance again pushed the trolley around to select the most alluring half-price products. Comparing both Coles and Woolworths' specials in the one place here will help you select which retailer to patronise this week.
