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 […]

Jonk’s Bargains is an interesting Australian bargain site. First of all, it is what it claims: This website turns grown men into excited school-girls. While I do not completely agree with this statement, but I have no doubt that whoever runs this site do “spend THAT many hours on the internet finding the best, cheapest […]

Just found another great Aussie cashback shopping site — Buckscoop, with its tagline “shopping… with a cherry on top”. It’s a new website (since Nov 2006), and WA-based. Its front-page pretty much tells us what this site is: Scoop: Earn cashack at loads of major online shopsSave: Browse the hottest member-submitted dealsShare: Hang out with […]

Currently boasting 5,000 business affiliating with them, shoppers can easily find what they need through its […]

Got my Deals Direct newsletter this morning. Saw an interesting banner ads at the top of the page, clicked on it, and it brought me to The Trove which has just been launched! What is it? The Trove is a great place to sell items for free, because we’ve got the muscle of DealsDirect.com.au behind […]

Fax?! What is that?! (Just in case you really have no idea what it is, here’s the Wikipedia entry) As more and more is done online, fax has become less and less relevant to our lives. I don’t have a fax machine at the place I live for the last 11 years, and I rarely […]

By shopping over the Internet you can also spare yourself the crowds and queues and shop 24/7. Here’s a list of Netguide’s recommended shopping sites. www.graysonline.com.au […]

Yet Another? When the idea was first implemented, it was such a novel idea. When a similar site was built here, it surely can claim “Australia-first”. That does not take long for the first copycat to appear onto the scene. However, do we really need a 3rd one day deal site? Maybe the market ain’t […]

It appears that Zazz is not alone. Catch Of The Day is the new kids on the block of 24-hour-cheap-deal websites. Launched last Wednesday, it looks disgustingly similar to Zazz! — from its home page, 3 product images with Javascript roll-over on the front page, product discussion forum, dry humour on the product description, etc. […]

At DoorOne.com.au, our mission is to save shoppers time and money by making online shopping simple. In today’s cluttered online world, smart consumers demand simple and easy comparison shopping features that […]

Adam wrote to me about their latest website, Trezr.com (pronounces “treasure” apparently). It is a social bookmarking website, where members are free to create links to the best bargains they have found on the web. From its about page, Trezr links to the best sale and discounted items on the web each day: designer shoes, […]

Saw on Whirlpool about this new “auction” website, Aussie Fuel Auctions, where you can bid for Caltex fuel cards. The site design looks a bit dodgy, but $500 worth of fuel cards have been won for $14.40! Now who cares about the petrol crisis?! Everyone can now go back and buy the latest HSV E-Series […]

My wife Vivian is a CPA. For those who ain’t that good at TLA’s, that’s “Certified Public Accountant” (btw, TLA=Three Letter Acronym). However she is not doing any accounting related at the moment. The only thing that reminded us her CPA-ship is her monthly subscription to the InTheBlack magazine, which I occasionally randomly scan through. […]

What if you combine a bargain blog like this and social bookmarking service like del.icio.us? You get DealPlumber! From its about page: dealplumber aims to address this problem (unable to find best deals across the web) by delivering a community-driven deals and coupons engine where you can simple search or browse for deals on product […]

Just discovered an Australian bargain website Zazz! with an interesting tagline — “One Day, One Thing, One Chance”. Basically it sells one and only one product each day at an extremely low price, and it is usually sold out within a few hours after the product is available on their website. It is like Woot, […]
