Recently I have come across another Australian bargain sharing website as it was advertised here via Google AdWords — Fobo.com.au. According to its About page, Fobo is the leading Social Bargain Sharing website for Australian consumers. Based on the idea of community bargain sharing, our users can not only share and recommend bargains but also […]

Adam sent me his website 2 weeks ago and asked me to take a look. Sorry I only had a chance to write about it this week. Worse, it has been sitting in the draft tray for almost the entire week because I wass sick… Anyway. Click and Save.com.au is yet-another local business directory that […]

A few weeks ago “Jimmy” sent me an email about his website — JimmysDeals.com.au, which is another bargains website that collects deals, coupons and special promotions. From its about page: When you sign up to Jimmy’s Deals, I will pop by and visit you weekly in your inbox, armed with the top deals and coupons […]

1-Day.com.au is the latest 1 day/24 hour deal site in Australia. Instead of one single deal everyday for 24 hours, it gives you 3 deals every day. Moreover, the cycle starts at 10am AEST each morning, instead of weird hours like 12am which compels people to stay up late at night. 1-Day.com.au is part of […]

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 […]

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 any […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 Buy.com […]

Welcome to our very first interview on Oz Bargain Blog. We are hoping to interview other Aussie online bargain hunters / deal website operators in the future, and big thanks to Raja Devanathan of Save As You Spend to be part of our first interview. Hi Raja! Introduce yourself and tell us who you are. […]

100 Big Coupons is a comprehensive directory of online shopping coupons. It has coupons for many top retailers in the United States, and its goal is to help online shoppers to save big. Yet there are already many coupon sharing sites with similar goals, and what makes 100 Big Coupons different? From its about us […]

OneItem.com is yet another one deal a day website — like Zazz, Catch of the Day and SnapItUp — but with a twist. First of all, it actually has two deals everyday. Secondly, the products are specifically for babies and toddlers, or rather — they are for those keen new parents who are looking out […]

9malls.com is an online coupon/shopping website. From its About Us page: 9malls.com online shopping mall is dedicated to providing its visitors with coupons, coupon codes, special offers, discounts, and shopping information that will save users money and enhance their on-line shopping experience. From its “About Us” page, it also details what sets 9malls.com apart from […]

I have just had a chance to test drive MoneyBackCo, who tagged themselves as “Australia’s Moneyback Community”. It is basically a “cashback” site, where they give you back the commissions from the affiliation sales, just like Buckscoop and OzRewardS which I have previously reviewed (as well as the biggest in Australia, EmailCash, which I haven’t […]
