Health and beauty products — shampoo, moisturiser, vitamins, sunscreen — are purchased regularly and both Coles and Woolworths carry overlapping ranges, so the price difference is often significant.
Grocerize tracks prices across major health and beauty categories stocked at both stores:
- Skincare — Nivea, Cetaphil, QV, Neutrogena, Aveeno
- Haircare — Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Schwarzkopf, Garnier, Tresemmé
- Vitamins & supplements — Blackmores, Swisse, Nature's Way, Cenovis
- Oral care — Colgate, Oral-B, Sensodyne
- Sunscreen — Cancer Council, Banana Boat, Nivea Sun
Both stores put health and beauty lines on half-price special regularly. Stocking up during those windows rather than buying at full price is one of the easiest ways to cut your weekly shop costs.
