There will likely be further markdowns closer to Sunday, and the few days following, as the supermarkets attempt to clear their stock.
Most Woolworths and Coles stores will be closed on Good Friday but open for the majority of Sunday for last-minute treats.
Trading hours will return to normal the following Tuesday.
