Coles Catalogue This Week

Coles Catalogue This Week: publication rhythm and schedule

The Coles catalogue this week follows a Wednesday-to-Tuesday cycle. The main edition we hold is valid from Wednesday 21 October to Tuesday 27 October 2026 (49 pages), and a 51-page Halloween catalogue covers the same seven days. Two consumer guides also describe the Coles catalogue as changing each Wednesday, with weekly specials running through to the following Tuesday. We could not find an official Coles statement of a release hour, so treat the dates printed on the edition as the authority.

Because the cycle is one week, prices and specials can end on Tuesday night. The latest and earlier editions are listed on the Coles catalogue page, and you can compare with other national grocers through the Australian supermarkets hub.

How to save: loyalty card and app

Coles works with the Flybuys loyalty program. The Coles Group website says Coles owns 50 per cent of Loyalty Pacific Pty Ltd, which runs Flybuys. A Coles media release dated July 2026, as seen in search results, says Flybuys members can use points to take up to $100 off an in-store shop at the checkout. Members need at least 2,000 points, discounts are tiered from $10 to $100, and the member sets a reward preference to pay with points in the Flybuys app or on the Flybuys website.

The same search results indicate that members can activate personalised offers in the Coles app or Flybuys app before shopping to build their balance. We could not open the media release body, because the PDF text was compressed, so confirm the tiers and the minimum in the Flybuys app. Treat points earn rates as unverified.

Price matching, returns and coupon rules

We could not find a published Coles price-matching policy, and we do not claim one exists.

On returns, Coles' help pages as summarised in search results say that change-of-mind items must be unopened, unused and returned within 30 days, with some exclusions. Products bought in store or online can be returned to any Coles store, not only the one where you bought them. Without proof of purchase, Coles may at its discretion offer an exchange voucher for use in store. Coles Brand products carry a guarantee and do not need proof of purchase. These pages looked dated, so check the live returns page. Coles Customer Care is listed on 1800 061 562 for in-store returns.

Online orders for third-party products sold through Coles Best Buys follow different rules: change-of-mind requests must be made within 30 days, perishables, cosmetics, candles and personal care items are excluded, and the customer pays return postage.

Smart shopping: hours and markdown habits

Opening hours are listed on each store's page in the Coles store finder and differ widely. One South Australian store page lists Monday to Friday 7am to 9pm, Saturday 7am to 5pm and Sunday 9am to 5pm, while a Victorian store page lists 6am to 11pm every day. Some store pages carry a separate section for altered trading dates. We could not find an official Coles-wide holiday trading statement for Good Friday, Anzac Day or Christmas Day, and state rules differ, so open the page for your own store before travelling on a public holiday.

Since specials end on Tuesday, a Wednesday shop is usually the one that matches the new catalogue. We found no officially stated markdown routine, so do not assume a fixed reduced-to-clear time.

About Coles in Australia

The Coles Group website says Coles has been part of Australia for over 110 years and operates more than 840 supermarkets nationally, within a network of over 1,800 retail outlets. It also lists more than 900 Coles Liquor stores, including Liquorland, and more than 115,000 team members. Coles Group does not describe its shareholder structure on that page.

Shoppers who compare supermarkets often look at IGA catalogue offers this week and Costco catalogue deals this week for bulk buying. For general merchandise and appliances, The Good Guys catalogue this week is another option, and the Australia catalogues hub lists everything else.
