  • I saw on Twitter someone mentioned there are browser addons for Chrome/Edge that put historical prices on Coles and Woolworths websites, and I know it’s not super groundbreaking to highlight how specials aren’t really “special”, but it does make for some interesting insights. e.g.

    This pasta has been “on special” for 53 days. Isn’t that just the normal price, at this point?

    And we’ve all noticed the products that go on special every other week, but seeing it in graph form really makes you wonder what the true price of your laundry detergent is:

    They extensions arw called “Coles Trend” and “Woolworths Trend”. I’m not sure how long they will work though before they get blocked/banned/disabled somehow. (Would personally love a version of this for the likes of Chemist Warehouse, it’s always so tricky to figure out whether their discounts/catalogues are real or not.)
