Excludes gift cards, iTunes, pre-paid mobile recharge cards, game consoles, iPods and computers. Big thanks to John for posting this [...]

Another busy week at OzBargain! We had a lot of submission this week, although I probably won’t call some of them as bargains. After all it is what voting is for — better deals get promoted to the front page to get more exposure. So if you have an OzBargain account (it is free to [...]

BIGshop.com.au, “Australian’s virtual shopping mall”, is an interesting concept. It aims to be the middle-man bringing shoppers and merchants together — to provide straight-through shopping experience for the shoppers, and to provide well designed online shop front for the merchants. Taken from their About Us page: One Shopping Cart, One Account, Many Merchants, Thousands of [...]

When I arrived home from work last night, I saw this sitting on the table. I am by no mean a movie person. Last time I was in the cinema was 2 years ago, and I think last time I rented a DVD was over 4-5 months ago! After all watching a DVD is quite a [...]

Thanks to ozpete, there has been quite a lot of discussion on credit cards today on OzBargain. Last month I wrote about my credit card lineup, on how I use a combination of cards to get the most rewards. BP-Citibank MasterCard is still my preferred reward card, however Wizard Clear Advantage MasterCard is about to [...]

Well. It is that time of the week where I try to summarise all the juicy deals at OzBargain. Personally I found the biggest issue with writing these posts are — they can be at most 1 week late to that mega sale! Therefore do subscribe to OzBargain RSS feeds or daily emails if you [...]

Meg from dLook posted a list of Top 100 Australian Websites based on the Alexa traffic rank. While Alexa traffic rank is no where near an accurate measurement of real traffic, it is still a good indication of how popular a site is. The top 100 contains all kinds of web sites, but I will [...]

OO.com.au is running a promotion with PayPal again, having site-wide free delivery if you pay using PayPal. It could be a lot of saving dependings on what you are buying. Offer ends this Saturday 19 May 2007.. Thanks to XoiThit posting it on OzBargain. We were just looking some deep freezers last night because with two [...]

I should have write these summary posts here more often as most bargain postings have been moved to OzBargain. Anyhow — I will try to make it weekly summarising good deals posted over there + a few small announcements. Borders seem to have regular promotions, and Jeffrey seems to have got them all! Thanks for [...]

Cashloop’s motto, “it pays to shop online”, pretty much reflects its business model — it is (yet another) cashback/moneyback/reward website that gives back a part of its affiliate commission to its members. When you enter into online retailer’s websites via these guys, an affiliation cookie will be installed on your web browser, so that [...]

Update on 7 May 2007.Thanks to Dominic from DGMAustralia for some clarification. DGMAustralia has been contracted by Dell AU for their search engine marketing work, therefore has permission to use “Dell” trademark on Google AdWords. TheDeal.net.au, a publisher/affiliate partner of DGMAustralia, also has written permission from Dell to use the trademark. For the past few weeks I [...]

A typical bargain hunting execution loop: Lock into product. Go to as many price comparison site as possible. Find the vendor offering the cheapest price. Buy from that vendor. It is done in the way that “price” becomes the only determining factor, whereas the quality of service provided by the supplier/vendor is rarely added into the formulae. However, we usually [...]

Two weeks ago I blogged about Myer’s latest shopping offer for Family and Friends. Indeed it looks a good deal — 10% to 20% discount on wide range of goods. Moreover, as the offers are “exclusive” to the family and friends of the Myer employees, flyer needs to be presented, so it must be [...]

Last time the OfficeWorks clearance sale was a big hit, but unfortunately all the dirt cheap item went out of door too fast. Now, OfficeWorks Clearance Sale is on again — so hurry up for the big savings! Sorry no link provided because of the idiotic online shopping system implemented by OW, so you have [...]

Have you ever wondered, why people run websites? Especially the websites that aggregate hot bargains? In an attempt to answer a question on the Whirlpool forums, I posted a list of Australian bargain sites, which got me into thinking this question (my post has been deleted but that’s another story). There have been quite a [...]
