A few years ago, Coles had a policy of marking down their fresh meat by 50% once it was 3 days prior to the “best before” or “use by” date.
It was then changed to marking the meat down by 50% once it was 2 days prior to the date.
More recently it was updated to marking the meat down by 20% when it was a day prior, and 50% on the date.
A few months ago, it was revised to a 15% discount on beef on the day prior and a 40% discount on the due date.
Our local Coles have now stooped to a new low of a 30% discount on the due date and a 10% discount on the day before.
What next. A 1% discount if you buy it as they are closing the store?
