Quick Deals of the Week
It has been a busy week at OzBargain! Many deals have been posted and big thanks to all who have contributed! I myself has also been busy. Our second daughter was born 2 weeks ago and I am now waking up 4 times each night :( Worse, the in-laws are here from overseas so we have to entertain them as well. Lucky I still have a few hours in the evenings catching some latest bargains.
So I shall just use this post to highlight some latest deals posted at OzBargain.
Kodak cameras seem to be on-sale everywhere. Why is that? Aren’t they as good as they used to be? My first digital camera back in 2000 was Kodak DC280 with 2.1MP, and it took better pictures than my current crappy 5MP Casio. Anyway, from the low-end you have EasyShare C530 for $99 from Kmart — not bad with a branded pocket camera. Need something more sophisticated? $129 can get you EasyShare C433 from Kmart with optical zoom. The real deal however is EasyShare C743 $148 from Dick Smith. 7.1MP and 3x optical zoom goodness — except the deal has already expired :(
Pizza! What better food feeds hungry programmers?! noneother shared with us the Domino’s Pizza voucher page that lists out current promotions, and vouchers that you can print straight out from your printer (than scavenge your neighbour’s mailbox). Now, how about $4.95 for a large pizza from Domino’s? This deal is Internet-only and expires tomorrow!
Who hasn’t got a GPS receiver + navigator in their cars? Hmm. I haven’t, and none of my friends have AFAIK! Maybe because no one wants to invest $600+ for something that replaces $20 SydWay and Gregory! However the GPS + navigators are getting cheaper — take this Medion car-mounted GPS from Aldi for example — $349. Or this Soniq GPS with Destinator 6 from JB Hifi — $249 after cashback. Dick Smith even gives you fuel voucher when you buy GPS from them.
Xbox 360 Core $399 from Kmart — it is now almost as cheap as Wii, but performance wise 360 runs circles around the slow-ish Wii. Now PlayStation 3, Xbox 360’s real arch rival, has just released — don’t be surprised that Microsoft will fight back with the price war.
There has been quite a few nice deals with PayPal! Free delivery from Deals Direct when you pay using PayPal. 10% off site-wide from OO.com.au when you pay using PayPal. $30 off orders $150 or more from Home Couture when you pay using PayPal. 10% off everything from Rebel Sport when you pay using PayPal. Time for you to get a PayPal account I guess :) Moreover, OzBargain competitions can cash prize money to your PayPal account. MoneyBackCo, Australia’s Moneyback Community, also gives money back to you via PayPal.
If you have found a good deal, make sure you share with us and post it on OzBargain! Every entry also puts you into a draw of $20 shopping vouchers or PayPal payments each Thursday!
Lastly, I have some web hosting accounts to give away. They are located in LA, California — 250Mb storage, 5Gb monthly data transfer and can host two domains. They are not for the faint-hearted, as no technical support will be provided. See my forum post for details.
