Coles customer reveals how she scored a huge $110 haul for $11
A delighted Coles customer has shared about how she managed to score a massive 14 item grocery haul for only $11.
The Western Australian customer shared details of her shop on the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook page on Wednesday.
“Markdown Gods are looking after me - worth over $110 and I only paid $11!”” she wrote.
Sharing three photos of the goods she bought, the woman revealed that her discounted shop consisted of bread, instant meals, meat, and milk.
In the photos, the price labels show that the woman paid only 75 cents for 500 grams of mince, $1.82 for a whole chicken, 57 cents for rye bread and 10 cents for a 2 litre bottle of milk.
The excited woman said she scored the massive haul from the Subiaco store, by taking advantage of typical markdown times.
“I hung around for an hour for the final markdown and it paid off!” she wrote.
In a follow up comment, she explained how markdown times often work in supermarkets.
“They are all different, but the store near me does it at 10am, vegetables are marked down in the morning but meat is mostly done after 6pm,” she said.
“Often due to understaffing the markdown goes from 10-20 per cent off all the way to 90 per cent off on the use-by date.”
“Always look for a markdown every time you are near a store to get a markdown fix!” she said.
“Because some stores do it in the mornings when new stock arrives.”
The woman ended her post saying that there were many bottles of milk that ended up being discounted, and encouraged other group members to head in store and nab the remainder to avoid wastage.
