The supermarket chain said the deals run until November 3.\n\n## Coles Cuts Sharepack Prices for Halloween\n\nSharepacks from brands including Cadbury, Kinder and Mars are half price until November 2, an average saving of $3.75, according to [Mirage News](https://www.miragenews.com/coles-scares-up-great-value-for-halloween-1767003/). Online shoppers can save $10 when they spend $40 on selected trick-or-treat confectionery, and the offers can be stacked on eligible products. Flybuys members earn 10x points on participating Halloween confectionery and sharepacks until November 3.\n\nColes Senior Category Manager for Confectionery Josh Tunbridge said Halloween falling on a Saturday gave families more reason to make a night of it, with confectionery sales set to increase by almost 10% compared to last year. \"Halloween looks different for every family, whether it's getting dressed up and trick-or-treating with the kids, having friends over or simply getting the lolly bowl ready for your neighbours,\" Tunbridge said. He said confectionery sales on Halloween run around 60% higher than a typical day, and that about one in three sharepacks sold across the year are bought during the Halloween period.\n\nSeven M&S treats are available for the first time, including M&S Halloween Percy Pig Petrifying Party (150g) and M&S Halloween Colin The Caterpillar Spooky Sours (170g), both at $4. Coles RSPCA Approved Chicken Ghoulish Ghost (400g), Spooky Spider Nuggets (400g) and Scary Vampire Wings (1kg) are two for $15 or $8 each. Australian Jack O Lantern Pumpkins are $3.70 per kilo and Australian Mini Jack Pumpkins are $3.20 each.\n\n## Coles Supermarkets and Its Loyalty Partnerships\n\n[Coles Supermarkets](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/02lwsc2/coles-supermarkets) is one of the two largest supermarket chains in Australia alongside Woolworths, operating hundreds of stores and online shopping services nationwide, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list Coles as a participating partner in the Flybuys loyalty program operated by Loyalty Pacific Pty Ltd, which lets customers earn points on purchases that can be redeemed for rewards. Coles secured an exclusive partnership in October 2023 to operate Marks & Spencer Food stores and product ranges within Australia, adding a premium grocery line.\n\n## Earlier Coles Announcements This October\n\nColes announced its 2026 Supplier Partner Awards winners at a Melbourne event on October 22, recognizing nine suppliers across food, drink and groceries, Mirage News reported. Coles and Old El Paso launched a Mexican-inspired Hot Roast Chicken at $14.50 from November 4, available in all Coles stores and on Uber Eats, Mirage News reported. Coles will become the first Australian supermarket to adopt the MTick menopause-friendly certification with GenM, starting early next year with an online support hub and over 200 certified products, Insideretail reported.\n\n## What Follows the Halloween Promotion\n\nThe half-price sharepack offer runs until November 2, the online $40 spend offer and the 10x Flybuys points run until November 3, and the Coles and Old El Paso Hot Roast Chicken launches on November 4.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
