Customers can view all the products available on Lower Shelf Price on the Woolworths website from Wednesday.

“We know that providing consistent, reliable value to our customers is more important than ever,” Woolworths chief executive Amanda Bardwell said.

“Since launch we have seen the lower shelf prices resonate with our customers and we’re seeing families embrace the savings on key staples such as bread, yoghurt, cheese and baby wipes.

“Our customers are telling us that these dependable prices are helping them plan and manage their weekly shop with more confidence.

“This is not about temporary specials but about long-term shelf price certainty on the products that matter most for families”.
