Half Price Chocolate & Confectionery Deals at Coles & Woolworths

Updated weekly every Wednesday · March 2026

Chocolate and confectionery are two of the most popular half-price categories at Australian supermarkets. Every week, Coles and Woolworths rotate brands like Cadbury, Lindt, Tim Tams, and Allen's through 50% off specials — making it entirely possible to never pay full price for chocolate again if you shop strategically.

Which Chocolate Brands Go Half Price?

Virtually every major confectionery brand rotates through half-price specials at Coles and Woolworths throughout the year:

• Cadbury: Dairy Milk blocks, Roses boxed chocolates, Favourites, Freddo multipacks, Crunchie, Boost, Cherry Ripe
• Nestlé: Kit Kat, Aero, Smarties, Milky Bar, After Eight, Quality Street
• Arnott's: Tim Tams (all varieties), Shapes chocolate, Tiny Teddy
• Lindt: Excellence chocolate blocks (70%, 85%), Lindor balls and gift boxes
• Mars/Wrigley: M&Ms share packs, Snickers, Mars Bar, Maltesers, Pods
• Ferrero: Rocher boxes, Nutella & Go, Ferrero Collection
• Allen's: Snakes, Party Mix, Retro Party Mix, Killer Pythons
• Darrell Lea: Liquorice, chocolate bilbies, various blocks

Tim Tams: Australia's Most Popular Half-Price Deal

Tim Tams are arguably the most watched half-price product in Australian supermarkets. At full price around $4.50–$6, they drop to $2.25–$3 at half price — and Arnott's cycles through most of the range (Classic, Double Coat, Dark, Caramel, Chewy Caramel) in rotation. Stock up on 4–6 packs when your preferred variety hits half price.

Cadbury Blocks: Best Value at Half Price

Cadbury Dairy Milk blocks (200g–380g) are a consistent half-price favourite. The larger blocks (380g "share size") typically retail at $8–$10 and drop to $4–$5 at half price. The Cadbury Roses and Favourites gift boxes also frequently appear in specials, particularly during the lead-up to Mother's Day, Easter and Christmas.

Lollies and Gummies at Half Price

Allen's share bags (190g–220g) retail at $4–$5 and drop to $2–$2.50 at half price. The same applies to similar products from Natural Confectionery Company and Trolli. For families with kids, buying lolly bags at half price and keeping a small supply is a great way to avoid paying full price on impulse at the checkout.

Gift Box Chocolates: Best Time to Buy

Ferrero Rocher, Cadbury Roses, and Lindt Lindor gift boxes frequently go half price ahead of gifting occasions — but also appear outside seasonal windows. A $25 Ferrero Rocher gift box at half price ($12.50) is a genuinely excellent value gift. These are worth stocking when you spot them well ahead of need.

How to Never Pay Full Price for Chocolate

1. Know the rotation. Popular chocolate brands cycle through half-price every 6–8 weeks at one or both supermarkets.
2. Keep a 4–6 week supply. Buy enough to cover you until the next likely half-price cycle.
3. Watch both stores. Coles and Woolworths don't run the same chocolate specials at the same time.
4. Check the snacks category page. Our snacks page lists every half-price chocolate and confectionery item this week.
5. Think ahead for gifts. If you spot a gift box at half price months before you need it, buy it now.
