Honestly the only tuna I bother with is Sirena but they're usually the most expensive one even on special.

Do you use the half price app? That's saved me heaps from timing treat purchases based on 50% sales at colesworth. Helps to afford the better stuff without the full price tag. You also get a sense of how often some things go on special and aren't worth ever buying at full price

What is this half price app of which you speak? I'm genuinely interested and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.. or app, as the case may be.

It's literally called Half Price. Updates every Wednesday morning with the colesworth specials filtered to your location (and you can have either only one or both supermarkets in the list), categorised by product type eg frozen, household, pantry etc. You can save items for that week to create a list. Idk how to get it to bookmark items across weeks and send you an alert when one of those items is on sale.

Ah no. I haven’t used the half price app before.

I just downloaded one but I’m not sure if it’s the same one you’re using.

I’m usually looking online catalogues and stuff for half price but if there’s a good app for it it’ll save me heaps of time.

The app handily replaces the catalogue (just for 50% off which is usually what I go for). I think it'll be the same app since its the first result that comes up when you search for it. Good luck using it!
