Australian supermarket chain Coles has announced a reduction in the prices of hundreds of products across its stores.
The latest reduction is part of the retailer’s Autumn and Winter Value campaigns, which aim to lower the cost of breakfast, lunch and dinner items for customers.
The prices of more than 200 products, including winter staples like soups, tea, coffee, oats and convenience meals, have been reduced.

Coles commercial and express chief executive Greg Davis said: “Since the start of the year, we’ve lowered the price of 500 products, and we’re not finished yet.
“With many Australians looking for ways to save money on regular purchases, we’ve lowered the cost of some of Australia’s most enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner items to deliver even better value to our customers.
