Where can I get the Woolworths catalogue starting Wednesday as a PDF?
How to download the Woolworths catalogue PDF from the website
- Go to the official Woolworths catalogue page
- Look for the “Download PDF” button — usually near the top of the page
- Click to save a full PDF that lists all specials for the current week
Having a PDF means you can browse deals offline, compare prices side-by-side, and share the list with family members — no data required when you are actually in the aisle.
The PDF version is identical to the online flipbook. The official Woolworths catalogue page states the digital catalogue is a central part of the shopping experience.
How to access the Woolworths catalogue on the app
- Open the Woolworths app on your smartphone
- Tap the “Catalogue” or “Specials” tab (often on the bottom menu)
- Browse through offers by category or search for a specific product
Third-party sites like LatestCatalogues also host Woolworths PDFs, but the official source ensures the most accurate, up-to-date pricing.
What are this week’s specials in the Woolworths catalogue?
How to browse Woolworths weekly specials
- On the Woolworths catalogue page, use the category filters (Pantry, Fresh, Drinks, etc.)
- Click on any product to see the special price and any terms
- Third-party apps like Supermarket Swap let you filter by product and track favourites
Woolworths advises shoppers to “stock up when” you see specials on items you use regularly. That is the core of using the catalogue for budgeting — buy non-perishables in bulk during the deal week.
How to find Woolworths catalogue for specific states (VIC, TAS, NSW)
- The digital catalogue is national, but specials may vary by store location and region
- Set your store in the Woolworths website or app to see local pricing (Woolworths Store Locator)
- Third-party aggregators like CatalogueAU list state-specific PDFs
The pattern: national offers appear everywhere, but fresh produce and local promotions can differ. Always check your local store’s catalogue online before heading out.
