BIG RED HAND POINTS TO ‘GREAT VALUE HANDS DOWN’ AT COLES
More than 500 ‘Down Down’ prices across stores to stay down for the next three months
Great specials and Every Day Prices on 1000s of groceries each week
Flybuys loyalty program, free Click&Collect and Coles App to help budgets go further
At a time when cost of living is adding pressure to Aussie families and their grocery budgets, Coles is making it easier than ever for customers to find great value in store and online with the launch of its ‘Great Value, Hands Down’ campaign.
From Wednesday 30 August, Coles stores across the country and Coles Online will bring immediate value to customers by bringing down the price of more than 500 products for at least 3 months. Overall, the savings across the basket of more than 500 Down Down products is an average of 19.7%. The new savings are on staple products customers buy most each week across breakfast, lunch, dinner, pets, cleaning and household products.
Making it easier to find value in store & online
As part of the ‘Great Value, Hands Down’ campaign, Coles customers will be encouraged to redeem Flybuys points for money off their shop, access free Click&Collect when they spend over $50 and activate their personalised Coles Flybuys offers on the go, on the Coles app.
Coles CEO Leah Weckert said ‘Great Value, Hands Down’ not only gives customers great prices through specials and discounts, but also showcases the breadth and scale of value customers can get at Coles.
“This campaign is all about making it easier for our customers to find value across the store and online. We know cost-of-living continues to be the number one concern for Australians right now so we’re making our biggest investment in value for at least 3 years,” Ms Weckert said.
“We’ve spent a lot of time over the past few months listening to our customers, our team members and our suppliers because we recognise the important role we have in helping their budgets go further.”
“We’ve been really focused on what value means in 2023 — more than 12 years on from when our Big Red Hand first made its debut. Back then, there was no Click&Collect and Flybuys offers were not at the scale they are today. So just like Coles, the Big Red Hand has well and truly evolved and transformed — no longer just ‘Down Down’, it represents ‘Great Value, Hands Down’.”
Savings on breakfast, lunch, dinner & the weekly shop
The price of Australia’s most popular dinner ingredient mince will be going down, including on more than 25 different varieties of beef, pork, and lamb mince. The popular value pack 1kg Beef 3 Star Regular Mince which was $13 at the start of this year, is being reduced down to $11 from $12. To complement any bolognese, the price of Cucina Matese Italian Spaghetti 500g is down 21% to $2.60 from $3.30.

Cost-of-living survey
A recent Coles survey of more than 4000 Coles customers, found 90 per cent of Australians claim to have made choices and changes to reduce their grocery bills, particularly young singles, and young and mature couples, who are cutting back on meats and treats, buying more frozen food, using online shopping to monitor budgets and swiping their loyalty cards to collect points to use on future shops.
Around 87 per cent of people surveyed are also actively budgeting by buying more specials, while more than 50 per cent of people are cooking more at home with an increase in batch cooking to freeze and bulking out meals.
