Unpacking 2025 Price Cuts and Online Sales Shifts
31 Jul 25As cost-of-living pressures grow, Australia’s top supermarkets—Coles and Woolworths—have rolled out major price cuts on essential items.

This piece explores why the cuts were made, how consumers are responding, and what other retailers can learn. Using Via pricing data, we highlight where price shifts are occurring and how they compare across markets. The key takeaway: cutting prices isn't just a financial decision—it’s a trust strategy.
