Scott on 2006-09-28 in BulkBuy, Storage | 0

Zazz! is selling 400Gb Samsung SATA drive today, and surprisingly it hasn’t yet sold out at 3pm. I probably won’t buy one as I have heard too much news from my friend working at Samsung warranty claiming unit in Sydney. However, just in case you have missed out the opportunity to expand your massive [...]

Kmart’s Markdown Madness sale starts tomorrow, Thursday 28 September 2006. It is worthwhile to actually use available online tools, like price comparison websites or Google to do some research to make sure that the price has indeed been marked down, as sometimes they aren’t as cheap as they claimed to be.

Charmaine wrote to me about the deal OO.com.au is having at the moment. There’s free shipping on all LCD TVs until Thursday 21st September. They are usually quite heavy and shipping would be costy, but until Thursday it will be free. Moreover, the cost is spread over 3 separate payments over 3 months so it’ll be [...]

Long long time ago when I was young, single and living at home with my parents, going to “pharmacy” was an idea never ever occurred to me, especially when my dad was a doctor, and we always “magically” have the right medications ready at home. Now fast forward a bit. I am no longer young, [...]
