Temporary needs
Your temporary grocery items will stay in your list until you check them off. If they are not marked off, they will remain in your list permanently. To make them disappear from future weeks, simply check them off for the week they were added.

My List

Note: If you shop in store and want to see your whole list (incl products that you need in your temporary and weekly essential list) you should go to “My List” to see the full List.

However, a settings glitch in the new update is causing some users to default to “International Mode,” which hides Australian supermarket features.

The Fix:

1. Go to the More tab.
2. Tap Log Out.
3. Log back in with your account.

This forces the app to refresh your location settings and will restore the Price Comparison tab immediately.

Important Things to Know

• Delivery Fees: Even though you use WiseList to organise, you are still bound by the delivery fees and service charges of Coles or Woolworths.
• Substitutions: If an item is out of stock, the supermarket’s own substitution rules will apply (you can usually adjust these preferences during the final checkout on their site).
• Loyalty Points: Since you are logging into your actual Coles/Woolies account to pay, you will still earn your Flybuys or Everyday Rewards points as usual.

Remember:

• Specials count. Factor in weekly specials and discounts when comparing.
• Supermarket brands are often cheaper. Don’t automatically reach for name brands; compare to the store’s own brand for potential savings.

The post How do I find the cheapest supermarket? first appeared on WiseList.

1. Search for your item: Use the search bar to find any product you need.
2. Sort your results: Locate the “Sort by” option directly under the search bar. Tap it to see your sorting choices.
3. Choose “Lowest Unit Price”: This reveals the true value of each product, regardless of packaging size. It’s the key to comparing apples to apples (or any other groceries!).

Additional Tips:

• The “Specials First” sort option is great for finding discounts on your favorite products.
• The “Price Low to High” sort lets you see the least expensive options at a glance.

With WiseList, you’ll always find the most cost-effective choices for your grocery list!

We now also have a built in feature if you tap on “Explore” & under “Deals” you will see in each supermarket.

The total price is shown as $0 when there are no items with comparable prices from both Coles and Woolworths in your grocery list. WiseList calculates and displays only the difference in total prices between items that are available at both supermarkets. This approach avoids misleading comparisons where an item is only available at one retailer but not the other.

For example, if your list includes an item exclusively sold at Woolworths, such as Chimbote Dulce De Leche Traditional, it won’t be included in the total price comparison because there’s no equivalent item at Coles to compare it against. Including it could give the false impression that one supermarket is significantly cheaper or more expensive overall.

To see the total price comparison effectively, please ensure your list includes items sold at both supermarkets. Additionally, if our system identifies that shopping from both supermarkets could save you money, a “Mix and Match Savings” indicator will appear, suggesting an optimal shopping strategy for maximum savings.

Why Coles and Woolies’ homebrand items are put together for comparison?

For items like Milk, vegetable oil, pasta, corn, tuna etc we have combined Coles and Woolworths hombrand items together so users can compare homebrand items between the two supermarket.

For Example:
When you are searching for Woolworths Homebrand Vegetable Oil, you can also see Coles’ home brand, “Coles Vegetable Oil”. Vice versa so you will know which hombrand products are cheaper
