When Coles wins vs Woolworths
Neither chain is cheaper on everything. Promotional cycles mean Coles might win on dairy one week while Woolworths wins on cleaning the next. ShopHop's smart split shows the cheapest store for each item in your list — often beating either chain alone.
It depends on the product. On ShopHop's tracked everyday basket, Aldi is usually cheapest overall, but between Coles and Woolworths the winner changes week to week. Search any product or use the live basket below to compare right now.
