EconomyWoolworths raised prices on at least four ‘family staples’ during Price Freeze

Woolworths increased prices on at least four products, including chicken fillets, potatoes, cinnamon donuts and canned bean mix, soon after promising to freeze prices on 300 family staples for three months. Data from CW Scanner showed chicken fillets rising 33%. A marketing expert said the increases failed to match consumers’ understanding of a price freeze, while Woolworths awaits a federal court verdict over alleged misleading discount practices.
