How this Aussie bargain hunter got 10 Woolies hot chooks FOR FREE

No rewards programme - and ANYONE can do it! - by Nikki Black
  • 17 Dec 2018

We all love a good supermarket freebie - and this one’s a corker!

One of the savvy shoppers at the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook group revealed how she scored 10 FREE hot chickens from Woolworths - and ANYONE can do it.

That’s right, you don’t need to sign up for any special loyalty group or rewards programme to get this type of bargain. Instead, you just have to head to the supermarket at the end of the day!

Markdown Addicts Australia follower Angel reveals that she went to her local Woolworths at 8.30pm and stumbled across the hot chook giveaway - picking up 10 of the $9 chickens for free, meaning a saving of $90! 

She explains: ‘The deli manager waved us down when we walked in and told us all the chickens were free as they were full and closing in 30mins.

‘So we jumped at that chance and filled up but left a few still there for others.’

Angel went on to explain that there were still 20 or so free hot chooks left for other shoppers to snap up - and that she’d be freezing all the chicken meat to see her through the coming weeks.

‘With kids and school holidays they will go like nothing!’ she explains. 

Many fellow followers couldn’t believe the savings, with one saying ‘Well that's a very happy Christmas gift!’

Added another: ‘What a wonderful treat for you!’ And said a third: ‘Fantastic! It’s lovely to hear they were happy to give it away rather than throw it the bin.’

Other markdown followers said they’ve seen chooks reduced to as little as $2 or $3 prior to closing time, but this is they’ve heard of the chooks being given away for free. 

‘I’m gobsmacked that there were 10+ FREE chooks,’ said one follower. ‘I never see any free! What a great find.’

We couldn’t agree more! For more amazing markdown finds, make sure you head to the Markdown Addicts Australia group - you’ll love it!
