Moved to Forum: Original Link

I stumbled across this news article and it’s legit. I set my Woolworths app to shop local then searched using the price low to high filter and found phones marked down as low as $5 at my local supermarket. It’s not a national promotion but seems a way to clear out stock. There are also other deals there as well. Great for a phone for kids on wifi or older relatives needing to be connected to the world.

Mod: Moved to the forum as there wasn't an identifiable deal (URL links to a news article) and clearance stock availability is generally sparse. Feel free to share your findings in the comments section, or alternatively, post them to the "Low Quantity Deals" forum

        Change products to shop in store then select a store. It’s in the link.

  • MontyMacaw on 01/02/2022 - 08:22

    Changing stores can help if your local store has nothing available

      Is this a Perth/Coober Pedy (supply) thing?

    There is nil stock.. $5 mobiles or $7.95 toasters
    It was old stock
    Perhaps someone may have luck finding one, most stores its nil..
    But, you can always call up or when in store ask, they can do a stock check on the computer

      If you are in Melbourne Acland Street St Kilda has stock

    I see some models in stock on the App at my local store, but woolworths staff refused to find one for me, they said the deal is not real.

  • asa79 on 01/02/2022 - 09:43

    most of the cheap $5 were telstra pre-paid ones, is there any tricks to unlock them

    Drove to 3 Woolworths stores and no luck.

    Here are the Article Numbers for the $5 models I tried to ask over customer service on the phone. I went in person to Craigieburn Highlands, Broadmeadows, Coburg Hills because I was told in-stock and I went there was no stock. Hence why I marked it Insufficient Quantity. Wasted fuel and time, definitely not a bargain for all. It’s rare, good luck to other people in getting at least one.

  • parisian on 01/02/2022 - 11:05

    Got a Nokia 2.3 for $5 - fantastic - thank you for the deal.

  • Dodgy Bob on 01/02/2022 - 12:06

    Stock available at Lutwyche - picked up 1 this morning and they had 5 left

  • Dodgy Bob on 01/02/2022 - 12:07

    ps: helpful staff at Stafford tipped me off to stock levels in other stores, which is how i knew to try Lutwyche. Might be worth asking nicely at your local if they can check other stores YMMV

    • russ13 on 01/02/2022 - 12:31

      I'm having trouble selecting the Lutwyche store on the app, doesn't seen to exist for pickup
