The rule was revealed on the awesome Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook page, with many shoppers revealing that they’d taken advantage of the little-known policy.
Said one follower: ‘I had $2 taken off mine a while back only because I asked. Added another: ‘I got two BBQ chickens for $1.80 each tonight!’
Revealed a third: ‘I got a roast half price today cause it was cooked at 1.35pm and it was about 5pm when I got it.’
And while many believe that Woolworths remove the BBQ chooks from display before the four hours has lapsed so that they can shred the meat and resell in the deli, others said it paid to keep an eye out.
Said one follower: ‘My local WW told me last week HO [head office] had reduced the time to 4 hrs from 6 hrs that they had to be displayed BEFORE being marked down max 30%.’
Added another: ‘I had no idea about this rule! I didn’t know Woolworths do that!’
Neither did we! For more bargain saving tips, make sure you follow the gang at Markdown Addicts Australia - click here for more!
Forget the Coles free chook rule! Woolies also has a secret discount policy on hot chickens - and hardly anyone knows about it!
Well this is exciting!

For months Australians have been blown away by the news of Coles' secret hot chook policy - stating that if they run out of BBQ chickens on display, you can get a voucher to get your next one FREE.
But did you also know that Woolworths has a secret policy on THEIR hot chickens?
Yep, the little-known rule states that if the hot chooks have been on display for more than four hours, they have to offer you a discount - which is usually around 30% off the regular price.
So if you look at the display and see one which has a time stamp which is more than four hours old, you simply have to just take it to the deli or front desk and ask for your discount. Simple as that!
