when do woolworths specials change

Woolworths’ main weekly catalogue specials in Australia usually start on Wednesday and run through to the following Tuesday.

Weekly changeover

  • Catalogue specials (the big weekly half‑price deals etc.) generally change over late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning in stores.
  • Woolworths promotes that a new catalogue goes live online around Monday 5 pm , showing specials that begin on Wednesday each week.
  • Many apps and deal sites that track Coles/Woolworths update their “specials” sections by about 10 am Wednesday to reflect the new week’s prices.

So, if you’re planning a big shop to catch the newest deals, going from Wednesday onwards will usually line up with the latest Woolworths specials.

Other types of specials

Not all discounts follow the same weekly pattern:

  • Online-only specials can appear and disappear independently of the printed catalogue and are always “while stocks last.”
  • Markdowns on expiring stock (meat, deli, fruit and veg, bakery) are typically done daily in-store , with timing and depth of discount varying by store and department.
  • Longer promos like seasonal “Prices Dropped” can run over many weeks , but even these are usually announced as starting on a Wednesday.

Quick checklist for shoppers

  • Want weekly half‑price and catalogue offers? Shop Wed–Tue , with the “fresh” week starting Wednesday.
  • Want last‑minute markdown bargains? Check later in the day for same‑day or next‑day expiry stock; schedules differ by store but markdowns are done daily.
  • Want online-only deals? Browse the Woolworths website/app “Specials” section and check end dates on each offer.
