Not sure if this has been shared already but its a game changer for the battlers - save minimum $360 or more to keep in you pocket every year! Significantly more savings for families!

  1. Subscribe to cashback's for even more savings throughout the year on things you were going to buy anyway

  2. Purchase a Woollies mobile plan - all plans give you the below benefits, but this is the one im buying:
    $150 for 12months call and texts, 100G of data
    currently a $10 off deal so that's $140 (search on either Cash Rewards or directly from Woolies mobile)
    Cash Back gives you $11 extra in return so now the plan is $129 for unlimited calls and texts and 100G data
    So you are paying a little over $10 a month for your phone plan.
    Granted its not the best data deal on the market, but when you add in the savings below you will be effectively getting your phone plan for free, plus money in your pocket! If you are like me and most of your data usage is via wifi at home, you should be fine.

  3. Now here's where the real savings kick in.
    Every gift card you buy is 5% off.
    Doesn't sound like much, but what is your monthly grocery bill? Conservative estimate, lets go with $400/month.
    Buy yourself a $400 gift card for $380 - your first $20 savings!

Your mobile plan also entitles you to 10% off one shop per month, so again, being conservative lets say that's $10.

($20 + $10) x 12 = $360. And I bet most people, and families are spending much more and will get significantly better savings.

Gift cards sound like a hassle? Not any more with the Woollies app. Just add them to the app and you can use them like pay wave at the checkout from your mobile phone.

*I am not affiliated with Woollies or Cash Rewards, just a battler who knows others can benefit from this like I have. (mod: referral solicitation not allowed)
FYI any shopping I plan to do, I check Cash Rewards first - for money I would normally spend I have already saved over $600 this year! They have regular 20% cash back offers from First Choice and many other iconic brands. You are mad not to check them out.

    You forgot to add this: use Hiver to buy the gift card for another 5% cashback.

      Is there a way to transfer funds from Special Super Shopper card into this Hiver account? Thanks

    • itunes on 03/07/2022 - 14:44

      Just joined! One small thing to note its a maximum $250 cashback per year. Still, better in my pocket. Thanks!

    • elgrande on 16/07/2022 - 22:56

      Does hiver give cashback for purchases of gift cards via the woolies online gift store?

    Lol, maybe for a family of 5. I spend around half that primarily at ALDI.

      You must be in an area Aldi services… most arent. But hey,not saying this is for everyone, but for those who shop at Coles/Woollies and prefer to see the money in their pocket rather than the stores….

      • itunes on 03/07/2022 - 11:59

        After you have been a WW mobile member for a month, there is a banner that appears in the app allowing you to add the discount. There is info on this on the WW mobile website.

        • Luckyalways on 04/07/2022 - 08:01

          great. thank you!

          This works if you're a Woolies Insurance customer also. If there's two of you at home and have two (or more insurance products it's even better!

          For example, I can have Car insurance under my name, Home and Contents under my wife's name, and we get 10% online + 10% in-store EACH. That's… 4 x 10% off shops a month.

  • capslock on 02/07/2022 - 19:13

    What is this 5% off gift card that you speak of?

    • freefall101 on 02/07/2022 - 19:41

      log in to mobile.woolworths.com.au (assuming you have a mobile account) and it's in the banner, up to 5% off giftcards.

      Down to 4% for woolworths supermarket now though. But very useful all the same.

  • capslock on 02/07/2022 - 19:17

    The 10% off sounds better on paper than in reality. It forces you to do one big shop once a month meaning most of your purchases will be normal price. It's better to spread out your shopping to take advantage of weekly 11%-50% off specials.

    • dahax77 on 02/07/2022 - 20:46

      Yep this.

    • TEER3X on 03/07/2022 - 06:14

      It's 2 shops per month, one online the other in store
      I pretty much only buy the good specials and l stack with gift cards, everything else is aldi

      • avoidfullprice on 03/07/2022 - 08:45

        This. Ozbargainers paying normal price does not sit well with me

        • itunes on 03/07/2022 - 11:50

          Use common sense. You shouldn't change your shopping habits to gain a 10% discount at the cost of higher discounts throughout the month. But you will get 10% off one of your shops - for me that equates to about $10 a month and usually over $20 a month savings on the gift cards.

  • AndyC1 on 02/07/2022 - 19:25

    So point 3 you mention 5% off, where is this for all of us OZ bargainers who do not have a member ship of ZXY or pay for the membership.

    • singingwolf on 02/07/2022 - 19:39

      Yeah most are 4% now.

        They dont offer 5% off Gc to spend at WW.

        • itunes on 03/07/2022 - 11:46

          The marketing material I got when I joined was 5% on WW gift cards, apparently its down to 4% for WW and 5% for many of the others in the WW group. Still, do the math - its money in your pocket that otherwise wouldnt be there. The only reason you wouldnt do this deal is if your data usage is high - the plans available probably wont suit.

  • freefall101 on 02/07/2022 - 19:39

    Woolworths giftcard is back down to 4% off as of July 1st. Still 5% for Dan's/BWS/Big W though.

  • dahax77 on 02/07/2022 - 20:46

    Well yeah - but I feel like I save much more than this each month by getting staples and non sale items from Aldi, sales items/markdowns from Woolies & Coles and getting fruit, veg and meat from much cheaper smaller retailers.

    • itunes on 03/07/2022 - 11:51

  • askme69 on 02/07/2022 - 20:48

    10% off each month when you have Woolies car insurance. Works out the insurance is free.

    • lgacb08 on 02/07/2022 - 21:22

      if you're spending $700 at Woolies once a month, you'll be part of their very fat profit margin. But if your premium is at that level then it'll be much cheaper to grow your own produce at your place.

      • askme69 on 03/07/2022 - 11:25

        Family of 5 with 3 young adults, i spend that per week, that's shopping Oz Bargained as well.

        • lgacb08 on 06/07/2022 - 11:51

          You might want to change the shopping habits, unless they're the only shop within 50km radius. I struggle to spend over $100 in a single shop with them or Coles for family of 4. All those half price items you need in a month won't happen in a week.

      This gets the biggest discounts in my opinion. Downsides are that it takes some effort to keep track of what promo is on which account and you sometimes buy things you don't need to meet the minimum spend.

  • The Hawk on 03/07/2022 - 10:13

    We have two mobiles and two Woolworths accounts so get 10% twice a month. Means we get the phones for free and then some.
    Still do Aldi for lots of stuff.

    Am I reading correctly that you can use the 10% twice? Once online and once in person??

    • Neoika on 03/07/2022 - 10:21

      Yes, for one service.

      You get 10% off once a month….use online or in person.

    • itunes on 03/07/2022 - 12:03

      Great tip! You can also transfer data between accounts when you have multiple WW plans if one member uses more than the others.
