Pricing guides for major retailers - how each store prices, where it wins, and how to pay less.
Woolworths sets much of the national grocery baseline, and most of its savings come from a weekly rhythm of specials, longer-running Prices Dropped tags and the points you load to your Everyday Rewards card.
Coles runs on a weekly specials cycle and long-running Down Down markdowns - knowing which is which is the difference between a real saving and a tag that just looks cheap.
LEGO holds a firm recommended retail price here, so the discount you find at Big W, Kmart or Myer matters more than the box price ever does.
Shopify's plan fee is the smallest part of the bill - transaction fees, payment rates and paid apps decide what a store really costs to run each month.
HelloFresh advertises a low intro price, but the ongoing per-serve cost plus delivery is the number that matters once the first-box discount wears off.
Specsavers is built around fixed-price bundles - but lens upgrades, coatings and the second pair in a deal are where the real cost is decided.
Xero is a monthly subscription, not a one-off purchase - so the plan tier, payroll seats and add-ons decide your real annual cost.
BWS prices on convenience, not always the lowest sticker - but weekly specials, case deals and Everyday Rewards close much of the gap to the big-box bottle shops.
Chemist Warehouse built its name on deep discounts and catalogue specials - but it is cheapest on some aisles and merely average on others.
Dan Murphy's is built around a Lowest Liquor Price Guarantee and deep case buying, so the real saving usually comes from claiming a beaten price and buying by the dozen rather than the single.
Officeworks anchors its pricing on a Price Beat Guarantee that promises to beat a competitor's lower price by 5%, so the real saving usually comes from showing up with a cheaper quote rather than accepting the ticket.
Liquorland trades on convenient, local stores rather than the lowest sticker - specials, case deals and Flybuys are how you bring the price down.

Kmart skips the weekly catalogue cycle and runs on permanently low everyday tickets driven by its own Anko brand, so the price you see is usually the price - the saving is in the model, not a sale.
