Love it when Deals Direct offering those site-wide free delivery via PayPal, because Delivery cost has always been a big hurdle for online shops. Goods might be cheap, but in a big country like Australia, the cost of delivery can sometimes be more than the price of the goods. I happen to have quite a bit of [...]

The long-waited operating system from our overlords in Redmond has just been released, today! Yes, I am talking about Windows Vista, which should have been released world-wide on the 30th of January. Now I am pretty sure everyone wants to have their hands on a copy to experience the “wow” factor. So after upgrading your [...]

Yan at ProBargainHunter has some great tips on how to get the lowest price on a new car. He summed up his tips with 3 main points: Never trust the dealer. Everyone would agree on this one. I still need to decide which one is worse — insurance salesman or the car dealer? They are [...]

Wow. Lots of contributions last night. Thank you everyone! Let me try to summarise the hot bargains submitted over the last week. Woolworth Drought Relief has so far received the most vote. On 23rd January (i.e. TODAY!), Woolworth/Safeway is going to donate their profit of the entire day to the drought relief found to aid [...]

Any Arnott’s Tim Tam fan here? I have to confess that I simply could not resist, and throughout the years, the cost of a pack of Tim Tam has always been part of my “unofficial” measurement of inflation (argh! they raised the price of Tim Tam again?!) So my wife went to Coles to do [...]

Thanks to mjwills who posted this comment on OzBargain, which leads me to this thread on Whirlpool forum, where a trick is discussed to use Optus Prepaid’s call diversion functionality to make mobile calls to any phone at 10 cents per minute. I am a bit of a late comer on this, as the [...]

Top Ten Retail Ripoffs Exposed, from TrampolineSales.com. If you have often been to the shopping mall, these techniques shouldn’t be too foreign to you. These are the ones that shoppers should definitely watch out for. However they are not uncommon amongst the online shops either. The “Bait and Switch” Fraud — a lot of online [...]

Kmart’s latest catalogue is out! While I posted on OzBargain about their 15% off computers and notebooks sale (it’s on page 9), but who buys computers from Kmart anyway? Meanwhile I also see that they have great deals on strollers and baby seats, as well as infant clothing. Great to prepare the 2nd one of [...]

Ozpete reminded me that “not all bargains are on the Internet”. Indeed. I am not a shopping mall kind of person, but everytime I visit one I know where the bargains are — where crowds of bargain hunters digging into shelves of marked down items. Oops. That scene does not have an URL attached to [...]

We all love great bargains — getting something and paying less than everyone else in the neighbourhood. But for some of us, we love freebies even more!! I have been subscribing to The Freebie Blog for the last two months, and I was amazed that how many freebies are there on the Internet! The latest [...]

Last week an old friend messaged me over IM asking about my opinion on plasma TVs. I told him that I preferred LCD because of the higher resolution. I told him that the sweet spot is around 26-32 inch, which you can probably find a good no-brand one for under AUD$1,000. “But 26 inch is [...]

Sometimes, you need to do a bit of bargaining to get a real good bargain, even for online stores. Shopping for a washing machine Recently we bought a brand new washing machine, because our old top-loader had constant problems over the last two years, and we could almost buy a new machine from the money we [...]

Yan tagged me with the recent Internet craze that was started by Jeff Pulver about a month ago. I have actually been tagged before, and has written 5 things people probably didn’t know about me. However it was on my other blog (which is web hosting related, btw). So I guess I will need to come [...]

The first day of 2007 is almost over. The blogosphere over the last two days has been filled with posts reviewing 2006 and welcoming 2007. I think I shall do the same. 2006 — Out! 2006 has been a year of growth for OzBargainBlog. It wasn’t even called OzBargainBlog when the year started, and it was hosted [...]
