Woolworths is cutting the prices of hundreds of everyday grocery items to help ease the cost of living for Australian families. Starting Wednesday, nearly 400 essential products will be cheaper both in stores and online.

The discounted items include popular choices like chicken schnitzels, Greek yoghurt, frozen berries, and 2-litre bottles of Coca-Cola. According to Woolworths CEO Amanda Bardwell, the average price reduction will be around 10%, News AU reported.

Bardwell mentioned that families who usually spend AU$150 a week on groceries could save approximately AU$15 by choosing items from the discounted list. She explained that while each price cut might seem small, together they will lead to noticeable savings for shoppers.

Bardwell added customers regularly ask for better value during their grocery trips and expect more support in tough times. This latest move isn't just a temporary offer, but part of a long-term plan to provide consistent value.
