Woolworths addresses cost-of-living pressures

Woolworths’ Chief Commercial Officer Paul Harker said that the supermarket’s decision to slash prices across their range comes as their customers feel the pinch.

“We recognise that cost-of-living pressures are being felt by our customers and our team, and it’s important we continue to help them save each time they shop,” said Mr Harker.

He explained that the supermarket giants are not only reducing the prices of more than 300 winter staples, but they’re also introducing over 650 own brand products including flour, sugar, snack foods and other essential items to their Low Price range.

This means that “customers can expect the prices of these products to remain consistent while on the Low Price program”.

The program vows to keep the prices of hundreds of everyday products at low prices.

Dropping prices at this time of year is an annual activity for Woolworths. Last winter the supermarket giant announced savings on over 220 items in-store and online.
