COLES HELPS AUSSIES LOWER THE COST OF WINTER

DROPPING & LOCKING MORE FAMILY FAVOURITES

Coles Whole Lamb Leg Roast, Coles Boneless Pork Loin Roasts, La Espanola Olive Oil and more Dropped & Locked, with savings of up to 46%

Coles will today drop and lock the price of additional household staples and big-brand products as part of its next instalment of Dropped & Locked, to offer customers more than 480 Dropped & Locked items across supermarkets and online until at least July 4, with 204 of these to stay on Dropped & Locked until August 29.

For a hearty meal to feed the family, customers can now save 20% on a Coles Lamb Leg Whole Roast Dropped & Locked from $15 to $12 per kilo and 14% on a Coles Boneless Small Pork Loin Roast Dropped & Locked from $14 to $12 per kilo.

Pair locked roasting meats with Little Tractor Potatoes (Locked at $5 per 2kg bag - excluding WA and TAS) and great value broccoli and beans to create an affordable roast dinner.

Coles is moving to give customers more certainty on the price they will pay for fruit and vegetables they buy each week.

Creating simple healthy snacks will be easier and more affordable with the price of Coles Mini Apples and Mini Pears locked at $3.00 per bag (WA $4.00) - the perfect addition to kids’ lunchboxes. These products will be locked in price for at least six weeks to encourage Aussies to up their fruit and veggie intake.

It comes as Coles has seen the price of certain everyday fresh produce lines deflate over the past year, with the price of broccoli currently 26% lower in price, iceberg lettuce 34% lower, corn 27% lower and beans 43% lower than the same time in 2022.[1]

One of the suppliers Coles has worked with to lock prices includes third generation apple grower Montague from Narre Warren in Victoria who supply apples to Coles nationally.

Montague Managing Director Scott Montague said it’s fantastic that they’ve been able to work with Coles to encourage more Aussies to eat apples this winter

“It’s a great time of the year to be buying and eating apples. We have a few more weeks of picking left in our winter harvest and mini apples are sweet, in season and a good way to get vitamin C and antioxidants into the kids,” Scott said.

There are big savings on pantry staples including La Espanola Olive Oil 500ml varieties Dropped & Locked by 46% ($13 to $7), and cleaning essentials such as Somat Gold Dishwashing Tablets 51 pack or 25 pack Dropped & Locked by 40% ($35 to $21 and $18 to $10.80) and Dynamo Professional Laundry Liquid 3.6L Dropped & Locked by 27% ($36 to $26).

Coles Executive General Manager Fresh Andy Mossop said Coles was committed to helping customers find healthy and great value products throughout the cooler months.

“We understand that winter can be a challenging time to budget for fresh and healthy food options,” Andy said.

“Winter is the perfect time to get cosy cooking at home and our latest round of Dropped & Locked includes great value roasting meats and savings on easy meals to warm up the whole family.” he said.
