Every Wednesday, South Island shoppers get a fresh chance to save on groceries, but finding the Woolworths mailer online isn’t as straightforward as grabbing a printed flyer. The online version holds the same deals, yet many still wonder where to click, how to download the PDF, and whether the offers differ from the North Island.

How do I access the Woolworths South Island mailer?
Can I view the mailer online?
- Yes, the mailer is published on the official website at woolworths.co.nz/shop/content/weeklymailer (Woolworths New Zealand official site).
- Woolworths New Zealand regularly shares the link on its Facebook page, directing customers to “check out the mailer for more great finds.” (Woolworths New Zealand (official Facebook page))
Is there a PDF version?
- Yes, the same page offers a PDF download of the current weekly mailer, making it easy to view offline or print.
How do I find the mailer on the Woolworths website?
- Navigate to woolworths.co.nz, go to the “Specials” or “Weekly Mailer” section, or directly visit the weekly mailer page.
- Aggregator sites like my-catalogue.nz (deal listing site) also list current Woolworths mailers, including South Island editions.
South Island shoppers who rely on the PDF avoid the need to log in just to browse — the PDF is freely downloadable. But to actually buy, you still need an account.
The implication: the mailer is designed to be accessible without an account, but the checkout step creates a barrier for casual browsers.
What is the Woolworths weekly Mailer catalogue?
What items are typically included?
- The catalogue features weekly specials across all departments — groceries, fresh produce, meat, dairy, snacks, and household items. Woolworths New Zealand once highlighted Streets Magnum, loose golden peaches, Arnott’s Tim Tams, fresh whole chicken, Nature’s Fresh Bread, and Cadbury Blocks in a single mailer. (Woolworths New Zealand (official Facebook page))
How often is the catalogue updated?
- Every Wednesday a new weekly mailer goes live on the website and as a PDF. Deals typically run from Monday to Sunday of the following week. Woolworths New Zealand posts have confirmed dates such as “Mon 19 Jan to Sun 25 Jan 2026” and “23 to 29 June 2025.” (Woolworths New Zealand (official Facebook video))
Can I see past catalogues?
- Woolworths New Zealand does not archive previous mailers on its official site. However, third-party aggregators like Promotheus (catalogue aggregator) and my-catalogue.nz (deal listing site) may keep historical records.
If you miss a week, the official site won’t help you catch up. The only way to see past deals is through aggregators that may or may not have archived the exact edition you need.
The pattern: Woolworths treats the mailer as a temporary document, not a permanent archive. Aggregators fill the gap, but without official backing.
How do I log in to the Woolworths weekly mailer for South Island?
Do I need an account to view the mailer?
- No — you can view the mailer online or download the PDF without logging in. An account is only required when you want to add items from the mailer to your shopping cart and complete a purchase. (Woolworths New Zealand (account login page))
What is the login page URL?
- The login page is at woolworths.co.nz/account. If you previously had a Countdown account, it has been migrated to the Woolworths platform, so the same credentials should work.
Can I log in with my Countdown account?
- Yes, Countdown accounts were migrated to Woolworths New Zealand after the rebrand. Users can log in with their existing Countdown email and password. If you encounter issues, the app listing provides a support email for feedback. (Google Play (app store listing))
The catch: logging in is straightforward, but the rebrand from Countdown to Woolworths has caused confusion among some shoppers who still look for the old login.
What is the difference between Woolworths weekly mailer South Island and North Island?
Are the deals the same across both islands?
- Deals can vary by region. Woolworths New Zealand does not publish a separate South Island mailer — the same weekly mailer page is used nationwide, but individual stores may have different stock and promotions. For example, some deals may not apply to Metro stores. (Woolworths New Zealand (official Facebook page))
How does the North Island mailer differ?
- The North Island mailer is accessed through the same URL. Aggregator CatalogueAU (catalogue archive) shows that regional editions exist (e.g., a “South” region listing in its archive), but Woolworths does not officially split the mailer by island.
Which mailer has better offers?
- There is no official comparison. Promotions are set at a national level with local variations. Some shoppers on social media report that South Island stores sometimes have different clearance items, but no systematic data is available.
What this means: the mailer is a single national document, but the actual in-store experience differs. South Island shoppers may find better deals on fresh produce due to local supply chains, while North Island stores might have more variety in packaged goods.
When does the Woolworths South Island mailer open?
What time does the new mailer go live?
- The mailer typically opens on Wednesday morning. Woolworths New Zealand posts on Facebook early in the day, often with a video preview. The exact time is not officially stated, but social media posts suggest it is live by mid-morning. (Woolworths New Zealand (official Facebook video))
How long is each mailer valid?
- Deals run for one week, typically from Monday to Sunday. For example, the mailer for 23 to 29 June 2025 was valid for those dates. (Woolworths New Zealand (official Facebook page))
Is there a set schedule?
- Yes, the schedule is weekly. A new mailer is released every Wednesday, and the previous week’s deals expire on the following Tuesday. The cycle repeats continuously.
The pattern: the schedule is predictable — Wednesday launch, Tuesday expiry — but the exact go-live hour is loose, leaving early birds refreshing the page.
Timeline: Woolworths South Island Mailer Cycle
- Wednesday morning: New weekly mailer goes live on website and as PDF download.
- Throughout the week: Deals available in-store and online.
- Following Tuesday: Last day for current mailer deals.
- Every Wednesday: Mailer cycle repeats.
Why this matters: knowing the exact cycle helps you plan your shopping trip. If you want the best selection, shop early in the week. If you want clearance leftovers, visit on Tuesday evening.
