Shoppers still missing a miniature packet of Huggies or Tim Tams in their Coles Little Shop collections will be delighted by the news that the supermarket is holding a second official swap day.

Others may want to avoid their local shopping centre on that day.

The promotion involving the miniature collectables began in July and last month shoppers flocked to stores for the first swap event, but for those who missed out there will be another event this Saturday September 8 from 10am to 2pm at 45 supermarket locations around the country.

Coles said in a statement on Thursday that the items are “quickly running out” and this event was announced due to the “overwhelming popularity of Little Shop”.

This will be the final official opportunity customers will have to make swaps in order to get their hands on those miniature bananas, bottles of Mount Franklin water, jars of Vegemite or any other tiny item they might need to complete their set of 30 mini groceries.

“Over the past seven weeks, Little Shop has captured the imagination of Aussie shoppers who are having fun swapping and sharing their miniatures to create collectable communities across the country,” a Coles statement read on Thursday.

The giveaway was initially set to end on August 28 but late last month Coles announced it would extend the promotion across Australia for a couple of weeks, until stocks last.

There are a limited number of the miniatures available at supermarkets with consumers still able to collect one free item for ever $30 – if available.

Coles says there are less than 400 of the small “big red hands” remaining – which award shoppers with a Coles voucher for $100.
