If you want to complete your Ooshie collection without breaking the bank, we’ve found a simple way to get a full set in no time at all!

When Woolworths announced their range of Lion King Ooshies, the initial excitement was mixed with the collective sigh of parents at the thought of the time and money that would be spent trying to complete the set.

Thankfully, clever mums in the Coles Little Shop 2 & Woolworths Lion King Facebook group have discovered a genius way to collect all the Ooshies without putting your purse or patience to the test!

Tips And Tricks

As part of the collectables promotion, Woolies have announced a ‘Bonus Ooshie’ when you purchase items from particular brands stocked in the store.

In the Facebook group, mums pointed out that there was a simple way to use the ‘Bonus Ooshie’ offer to your advantage. Many of the items in the bonus list are priced at as little as $2 – Dettol hand wash, ‘So Delicious’ yoghurts and Purina One cat food just to name a few.

If you were to buy 5 x Dettol hand washes, 5 x yoghurts and 5 x tins of cat food, or a similar combination of products, you could earn yourself 15 Ooshies – so long as you reach the $30 minimum spend! Just two shops like this and you could have yourself all 30 Ooshies and be able to complete your set with just a few swaps here and there.

The mums say there are just a few important conditions to bear in mind if you want to make the hack work for you.

“Max 5 bonus Ooshies per brand, per transaction. You can just buy one of each item if you want, you don’t have to buy five.” they wrote. “Just make sure you spend the $30 in total, otherwise you’ll get nothing!”

Thank goodness for this clever hack. As the mums pointed out, less time spent trying to complete your Ooshie collection means more time to sort out your Coles Little Shop 2 set!

How many Ooshies do you still need to collect to complete your set? Let us know in the comments!

  • Thanks for the tip although I think I need to go shopping without the children so I don’t get distracted and get the correct products with the spend over $30.

  • Going to have to pay attention to this little tip given how obsessed both my kids are on the Lion King

  • i was sure it was only 3 products for woolworths

  • I’m happy to earn the collectables if my shop exceeds $30, but not prepared to spend more than $30 just to earn the collectables.

  • I don’t spend extra to get the promotion collections. I would have too much wastage

  • What’s even funnier – is that often the item the gets you the bonus is on sale too!!

  • This has been the case for all, or at least most, of the promotions that the major supermarkets have. Buying extra products to get extra stickers, tiles, toys etc. Often I don’t need anything from the brands, though. Can always do with soap and cleaning products!

  • Since I only get to shop once a month I can’t see me collecting the whole set. The least I can do is collect them and give them to children who are collecting. It’s a win win situation. They get the Ooshies and I get to see their smiles when I hand them over.

  • Will keep this in mind for my next shop but will only buy things I know we will use. Thanks for the hack!

  • I kind of did this yesterday. You work around what you might like lunches and dinners for this week. We picked up ham for sandwhichs, and helps of vegies for dinners. So buying the bonus items dont go to waste. We got a bonus of 3. Plus i change my usually yoghurt so i got a extra 1.

  • I’ve always said no when offered the Coles or Woolworth collectibles. But today I thought I would grab them for my daughter as a treat. Out of 8 ooshies we got 6 of the gold ones and my daughter absolutely loves them. Looks like I’ll become one of those obsessed mums trying to collect them all

  • Just adds another gimmick to the things that will finally end up in landfill in a couple of years if that long.

  • And that is exactly what they want you to do , buy the brands that are paying for this promotion.

  • Thanks for the hack, definitely a much cheaper way of getting all 30. Will definitely be looking into doing this.

    Reply

  • great idea but it is still all just a gimmick to make you spend more and I won’t just buy stuff I don’t normally use just for this.

  • Thanks for sharing. Excellent advice

  • I don’t see the sense of yet more plastic in our lives ,but job well done for figuring this one out for those that want them.
