Thank you.
My boost offerings this week were not even worth collecting tbh. I’m hoping for better next week.
Just remember that a $100 spend is only 100 points, and 100 points = 75c, so 5 x 75 is $3.75, you're essentially saving 3.75% with this promotion.
Now go and use Grocer to compare what you're going to buy from Woolworths with the prices at Pak'n'Save, or even New World in some cases, and I think you'll find that buying the same or similar products from those stores will save you more than 3.75%
Everyday rewards are only worth it if you are shrewd as to how you use them. Buy things that are on special, buy things like council rubbish bags, IGNORE the boosts they offer you because they nearly always work out more expensive than when the same item is on special.
Below are my boosts this week, what I've done is I've put down the price, how much the points on offer are worth, then taken the dollar value of the points off the price then compared that price to the prices at Pak'n'Save. Some of the products were on special at Pak'n'Save so you see some large differences, but even the ones that weren't on special still worked out quite a lot cheaper in some cases.
Maggi Instant Noodles Cup $2.19 + 50 points (worth 37.5c) or $1.79 at Pak'n'Save (3c cheaper)
Tip Top Crave Tub 1.2L $10.30 + 250 points (worth $1.87) or $7.99 at Pak'n'Save (44c cheaper)
Colgate Plax 500ml $6.99 + 150 points (worth $1.13) or $3.99 at Pak'n'Save ($1.87 cheaper)
Kāpiti Ice Cream Multipacks $10.30 + 250 points (worth $1.87) or $6.99 at Pak'n'Save ($1.44 cheaper)
Palmolive Dishwash Liquid 500ml $4 + 100 points (worth 75c) or $2.39 at Pak'n'Save (86c cheaper)
Harpic Blue Power Toilet Block 2 pack $6.50 + 150 points (worth $1.13) or $5.59 at Pak'n'Save (22c more expensive)
Griffin's Snax & Meal Mates Crackers $3.99 + 100 points (worth 75c) or $3.55 at Pak'n'Save (31c more expensive)
Eta Ripples Chips 150g $2.89 + 100 points (worth 75c) or $2.49 at Pak'n'Save (35c more expensive)
the other items I was offered are either store brand or store exclusives that Pak'n'Save don't stock so I used comparable products
Woolworths Tortillas 15 pack - $4.90 + 100 points (worth 75c) or $4.05 at Pak'n'Save (10c cheaper)(15 value pack)
Otaika Valley Eggs Free Range Mixed Grade 12pk $10.35 + 250 points (worth $1.87) or $8.09 at Pack'n'Save (39c cheaper) (Bowalley Free Range Mixed Grade Eggs 10pk)
TL;DR version, if I bought all the boosts I was offered at Woolworths, and factoring in the monetary value of the points, I'd be $4.14 worse off than if I'd bought those same things at Pak'n'Save
THE MARKETING WORKS
And I'd like to add that the Otaika Valley Eggs Free Range Mixed Grade 10pk (it was a 10pk not a 12pk like I put in my above comment), that was $10.35 this week with $1.87 worth of bonus points bringing it down to $8.48, I see in the new mailer that it's on special next week for $7.90, 7.5% cheaper than it works out with the bonus points this week, so yet again Woolworths shows us how these boosts are a complete and utter scam and a waste if you're serious about saving money on your groceries.
One day sale on Thursday
New World too with a 1-day sale on Thursday 30th May.
As well as sale they also have 4x Flybuys with $50+ spend on the day.
NW offers are quite underwhelming on first glance

Good spotting. I wonder if it'll stack when you boost with other boosted products.
