Every week we dig through the price history of tens of thousands of products across Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Chemist Warehouse and Priceline to find the ones that almost never go on sale — and are discounted right now. Here are this week’s five finds, one from each store.
Prices are for NSW as of Thursday 24 September 2026 and may vary by state or change without notice.
Coles: Jimmy Tartufi Truffle Paste 50g
$5.50 $8.00 — save 31%
A little jar of truffle paste turns a bowl of pasta or scrambled eggs into something special, but it’s usually a full-price pantry splurge. It’s been on special only about 4% of the time we’ve tracked it, it hasn’t been discounted since December 2025, and $5.50 matches its lowest price on record.
Woolworths: Purina One Healthy Kitten Chicken Dry Cat Food 1.4kg
$10.00 $20.00 — half price
New kitten in the house? This is one to stock up on. It’s been discounted only about 2% of the time over more than two years of tracking, the last sale was back in July 2025, and half price equals its best price ever.
Aldi: ALMAT Laundry Capsules 50 Pack
$11.99 — down from $12.99 (and $13.69 last year)
Aldi doesn’t run weekly specials the way the big two do, so price drops are the thing to watch. This week the 50-pack of laundry capsules dropped to $11.99, the lowest price we’ve ever recorded for it — about 24 cents a load.
Chemist Warehouse: Real Paw Paw 25g
$4.79 $5.99 — save 20%
The handbag staple for dry lips, cuticles and everything in between. It’s only been on sale around 10% of the time we’ve tracked it, and $4.79 is its lowest recorded price. Grab a couple for the car and the desk drawer.
Priceline: Maybelline Lifter Stix Face Sculpting Stick 65 6g
$14.99 $29.99 — half price
A multi-use stick for contour, blush or lips. It’s been discounted only about 4% of the time we’ve tracked it, and half price is the best deal we’ve seen on it.
