Woolworths catalogue and specials of the week

Everything You Need to Know About Woolworths Catalogues and Savings in Australia

Publication schedule and validity

Woolworths publishes its catalogues for Australia roughly every week. Based on the editions we index, a new catalogue usually starts on Wednesday and stays valid for about 7 days. The current edition has 50 pages and is valid from 21.10.2026 to 27.10.2026; Active editions listed on this page right now: 1. Woolworths belongs to the Groceries group in the Australia hub.

To see the next edition early, check this page again a few days before the usual start day. New editions are added as soon as they are published, and an upcoming edition is shown with its start date, so you can plan your shop and compare it with the current catalogue.

Treat the dates as part of the offer. A price in a catalogue is valid only between the printed dates and normally while stock lasts. Some products are available only on certain days or in selected stores, so read the note next to each price. Previous editions stay in the archive section for a limited time and are marked as expired.

Before you leave home, open the current edition and tick the items you need. A short, specific list is the simplest protection against buying things only because they are on promotion. See also: Coles and IGA.

Loyalty programme and private labels

Woolworths links part of its specials to Everyday Rewards. A price printed in the catalogue may only apply with the card or app, so check the small print on each page before you rely on it. If you shop at Woolworths regularly, compare the price with the card against the price without it, and against what a competitor charges for the same product.

Woolworths sells private-label ranges such as Woolworths Essentials and Macro. Own brands are usually priced below comparable national brands, and they often appear in the catalogue as price-led items, so they are a natural place to start when you compare several specials.

Return rules, price promises and opening hours differ by retailer and country, and they can change. For the current terms, always use the official Woolworths website or the information in the store, and keep your receipt when you buy discounted items. As a full-service retailer, Woolworths carries a wide range, and its catalogues typically promote fresh food, brands and multi-buy deals across many departments.

Offers that are advertised for a single day or a weekend are usually marked on the page. If one of them matters to you, plan the trip around it rather than the other way round. See also: Coles, IGA, Aldi and Groceries.

Woolworths compared with other stores

In Australia, the closest alternatives to Woolworths in this group are Coles, IGA and Aldi. Their current editions differ in size: Coles has the longest one with 51 pages, while the Woolworths catalogue has 50. Page count says nothing about price, but it shows how many specials you can compare in one place. Open two of these stores side by side and compare the same basket before you decide.

To compare fairly, pick five products you buy every week and note their unit price in each catalogue. Do it for two or three stores and repeat it once or twice, because the cheapest store changes from one week to the next. The Groceries hub lists all stores in this group, and the Australia hub gives you the full overview.

Woolworths catalogues are updated on this page whenever a new edition is published, so you can bookmark it and check in once a week.

If a price in the catalogue looks unusually low, check the conditions next to it. A limit per customer, a minimum purchase or a requirement to buy several items often explains the difference from the regular price.
