As money has tightened in the last few years post GFC, we can find ourselves paying a little more attention to the prices in the Coles and Woolworths catalogues. Saving a few cents here and there has hopefully left a few more dollars in your wallet this year and I think you'll be needing it because prices don't look that great on the big ticket Christmas food items.
Lets take a look at a few price differences from last year.
Well lets start with the positives and the good old Leg Ham is steady on $7.49/kg (Woolies) and the same price at Coles.
Prawns – Cooked steady, Raw up
Australian Large Cooked Tiger Prawns $19.99/kg (IGA **selected stores only) - down
Australian Large Cooked Prawns at $23.00/kg (Coles) - steady
Extra Large Australian Green King Prawns $20.99/kg (Woolies) - up
Lobster – Prices are up
WA Cooked Medium Lobster $32 ea
Turkey – Prices steady
Ingham Turkey Breast Roast 1kg $13.99 (IGA)
Turkey Breast Roast 1 kg $14.48 (Woolies)
Steggles Turkey Breast Roast 2kg $30 ($15.00/kg) (Coles)
Steggles Frozen Turkey No52 $32 ($6.15/kg) (Coles)
Coke – Coke is Up from last year
Don't look past Foodworks for the best price on Coke $19.50 2 x18 can pack and even Coke 2L x 3 $7.00 is a great price
It's hard to have Christmas without cherries and Foodworks have come to the party, of course the fruit and vegetable markets are generally 25% cheaper than the supermarkets.
Cherries $9.99 Foodworks
There could be some late changes as Woolworths still have one more catalogue to publish before Christmas and Coles have published a mini catalogue.
