• From 17 September, over 800 items across the store will have their shelf price dropped by an average of 17%. 

  • The expansion brings BIG W’s Price Drops to over 3,000 items across the store, after the shelf price of more than 2,000 items was reduced in April.

  • This will help families save on a range of essentials spanning baby care, personal care, appliances, and cleaning needs.

  • Top reductions include the Contempo Espresso Machine, now just $59, alongside favourites from Remington, Barbie, Disney, and more.

Thursday, 17 September 2026: BIG W is doubling down on cost-of-living relief, slashing shelf prices on over 800 household essentials and family favourites for Spring via its BIG Price Drop customer offer..

Starting from 17 September, prices on participating products will drop by an average of 17% as part of BIG W’s commitment to providing great prices.

Amongst items with the greatest savings is the Contempo Espresso Machine which was $79 and now reduced to $59, the equivalent to purchasing approximately 10 cafe coffees. Unlike short-term promotions, the BIG Price Drop program offers longer-term reductions on standard shelf prices.

The expansion builds on BIG W’s inaugural BIG Price Drop in April where shelf prices on over 2,000 products were reduced, with items like the Contempo Digital Dual Air Fryer 8L flying off the shelves after its price dropped from $119 to $79.

BIG W’s Chief Commercial Officer, Christine Faulkner, said: “We know Aussie families are feeling the pressure, and value has never been more important. Our first wave of Price Drops made a real difference for our customers, so we wanted to extend that value to even more products across the store.

“We're adding a wide range of everyday essentials, beauty favourites, and kids' toys to deliver immediate savings for the whole family. From pet food, kettles and toasters  to nappies and cleaning products, our customers can trust they’re getting great value on the products they want and need.”

The top items added to the Price Drop includes:

Spring Home Refresh for Less

  • The Contempo Kettle 1.7L and matching Contempo 4 Slice Toaster both in Textured Steel Blue: now $29 each (a $10 price drop each).

  • Laundry Hamper with wheels (59L): $17 ($5 drop)

  • Radiant Laundry Liquid 4L: $20 ($4 drop)

Even greater savings will be available for shoppers if promotions are applied to these new shelf prices. Everyday Rewards members can get even more value by boosting offers and scanning their Everyday Rewards card at the check-out.

In-store tags highlight the new lower shelf price compared to the previous amount to help customers see their savings at the shelf. Additionally, new ‘Price Drop’ tickets will also help shoppers identify what items are available at a new lower price.
