Revealed: The simple hack to save HUNDREDS when you shop at Kmart, Coles and Woolworths

A mums Facebook group has revealed a way of getting big discounts off your shopping at supermarkets all around the country – and it’s genius!

It’s such a little-known discount hack that most parents aren’t aware it even exists, until now.

Writing on Kmart, Big W, Target, Ikea Mums Australia on Facebook, one member called Lisa asked other followers if they were aware that they could get discounts at Target, Kmart, Big W and others through their car breakdown/recovery service.

While most of us know the card can give us discounts on various services, few know that you can get five per cent off your weekly supermarket shop with one clever hack - using an e-gift card.

Through most RAC and NRMA memberships, you can get five per cent off an e-gift card when you buy it through them. This means you can buy a $50 card for $45 and then do your shopping with the card – and you’ve already saved five per cent on your shopping bill before you’re even started.

Over the course of a year, this can add up to huge savings.

Lisa posted, ‘Most of you may already know this but just incase you haven’t heard I thought I’d mention it.

If you have RACQ membership you are eligible for 7.5% discount at Target and Kmart.

5% discount at Big W when buying egift card on the RACQ discounts app. That’s just to name a few of the retailers on board, well worth a look if you are keen to save some $$$’.

Followers of the group from around the country were really impressed with the information and quickly posted their findings from their own state RAC or the NRMA.
