How to Save $130 on a Brand New PlayStation 3

Scott on 2007-04-28 in NRMA, PlayStation, Sony | 3

Anyone on the PlayStation 3 craze here? IBM Cell Processor, 256Mb GDDR3 RAM, 60Gb SATA drive, USB, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wifi, and more hard core hardware specs? Well, I don’t. I don’t really have time to play computer games and buying a PlayStation 3 would be the last thing in my mind. However I am [...]

Community Bargain Hunting Sites in Australia

Scott on 2007-04-27 in Website | 0

Ever since Digg raised to popularity, community-based voting/bookmarking sites pretty much spawn into every corner of Internet. After all, in the age of Web 2.0 user-generated/user-moderated content rules. There is no exception in the realm of bargain hunting and sharing. What was once dominated by forum communities, many Digg-like sites have also emerged over the [...]

We are in the Top 100 Australian Blog!

Scott on 2007-04-27 in Bargain Blog | 4

Big thanks to Meg T at dLook.com.au who created a list of top 100 Australian blogs. Ranking is determined with a combination of Technorati + Alexa ranks. Due to the readership of Oz Bargain Blog (bargain hunters and cheap skates :) I did not expect this blog would rank well. I thought only the nerds [...]

15% Off from Koorong and 20% Off from WORD This Thursday

Scott on 2007-04-25 in Koorong, Word | 0

As I have previously observed, two of the big Christian bookshops in Australia, Koorong and WORD, always seem to have sales at the same time! I have no idea that who is proactive, and who is reactive in putting up sales, or maybe they both have worked out the schedules together. Either way, we are [...]

Up to $150 off with Dell Business Bonus

Scott on 2007-04-24 in Dell | 0

More Dell coupons spotted! I was browsing Dell’s latest catalogue today, and found this: Warning! Lots of marketing talk on that page! What does it mean “to make your Dell unique to you”? However, none of that matters, as long as juicy Dell coupon codes are also found on the same page! So what we have got [...]

My Credit Card Lineup

Scott on 2007-04-20 in Banking, Credit Card | 7

Repeat after me. Credit card is my tool, not my master. Say it three more times. Now you are ready to read this post! Credit card has always been a major problem in Australia. It is an easily approved personal loan, which “helped” many Australians into very deep debt. Therefore many have portrayed it as [...]

Review: Dealighted = Deals Aggregator + Price Comparison

Scott on 2007-04-16 in ReviewMe, Website | 2

Dealighted is a relatively new deals / bargains website. It describes itself as: dealighted is a selection of today’s best deals + many deal forums combined into one. Under its nice and clean user interface, it is actually two different sites. You have a deals aggregator that analyses forum threads in major deal forums, and you [...]

Scott on 2007-04-15 in Weekly | 0

Here’s another weekly updates on the deals posted on OzBargain. See the picture? Yes, as I have previously stated, you might actually see less and less deals posted here in this blog, as they will all be posted to OzBargain first. I will, however, try to write something else, and might do a weekly review [...]

Switched to Integral for Electricity

Scott on 2007-04-14 in Energy, Home | 3

Last month I posted a question on OzBargain forum, asking who do you use for energy? Well, I did not get much response so I ended up doing the research myself. No, actually I did not do anything but my frugal wife did all the research, and we ended up using Integral Energy for electricity. The [...]

Crazy Shopper? Try Crazy Refund

Scott on 2007-04-11 in Reward, Website | 2

I have just read ProBargainHunter’s review on Crazy Refund, one latest start-up that gives affiliation sale commission back to the customers. But this is with a twist — you get full refund the purchase price, only if you are the “lucky winner”. For example, according to this table, one out of 40 shoppers at [...]

3%, 5% or 10% Off Selected Dell Computers

Scott on 2007-04-11 in Computer, Dell, NRMA | 3

I have found some incredible Dell Australia coupon code online today. First of all, I am an NRMA member — and I believe everyone who drive a 5+ year old car in NSW should be as well. And NRMA members do get quite a few benefits and discount when you “Show Your Card & [...]
