Aldi continues to run its distinctive "Special Buys" promotions on set days each week, separate from its everyday-low-price core grocery range. This structure differs meaningfully from Coles and Woolworths, which centre their promotional activity around a single weekly catalogue changeover.
For shoppers, this means Aldi rewards a different kind of attention than Coles or Woolworths — rather than checking one weekly catalogue, keeping an eye on Aldi's specific Special Buys days can reveal one-off deals on non-grocery items that don't appear in a traditional supermarket catalogue at all.
