One shopper shared how she managed to buy a giant haul of meat at huge discounts at Coles.
Alexandria, from Newcastle, visited her local store at 6pm on Saturday and noticed a lot of products being reduced.
The groceries included chicken schnitzel, diced beef, ground beef, spicy chicken wings, Lilydale chicken, diced chicken breast, meatloaf and a huge tray of croissants.
If she had paid full price, it would have cost $158.89 here, but since some products were reduced to just 38 cents, Alexandria paid only $8.47.

Sharing images on the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook group, the cheapest item was a packet of chicken thighs for 39 cents, while the most expensive at just 79 cents was Coles meat pie.
The croissant tray is also 55 cents, a savings of $10.45.
Alexandria noted that it was a matter of “chance” that she was able to score amazing purchases, since she went to the supermarket at the right time.
Previously, others who also managed to score huge discounts at Coles and Woolworths revealed that the sales vary from store to store.
Some prefer to shop first thing in the morning, while others visit just before closing time in hopes of finding a discount.
Alexandria’s Facebook post left many envious, with others admitting they had “never” found discount shopping at their local Coles.
‘Awesome!! “It is better to sell it than leave it in a container at the end of the day,” commented one of them.
‘That’s what my dreams are made of. Good job,” added another, and a third said: “Good for you! Our Coles NEVER have a reduction like this.’
‘You did!! It wouldn’t be an advertising spot otherwise you’ll never see this again,” another joked.
Last month, a money-saving mom discovered a very affordable deal on a kids’ snack at Costco Wholesalers.
The Canberra woman found a 12-pack of Rafferty’s Garden chocolate custard bags for just 97 cents.
The 12-pack was less than half the price of a bag of chocolate spread from Coles of Woolworths, which costs up to $2.15.
She shared the online budget find that impressed parents looking for ways to save on their kids’ school lunches and snacks.
“I was at Costco this morning and yes, it’s $0.97 for 12 bags of Rafferty Garden chocolate,” the mom wrote in the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook group.
