Davo1111 on 28/12/2015 - 17:47

Now that boxing day sales have ended, and we've had a day to look at our purchases, what did everyone think?

Did you go into the city? Did you shop exclusivly online? Did you camp outside myer overnight?

Was there a deal you thought didn't get enough coverage? Best and Worst stores?

Looking at votes

189 - Harvey Norman got the most votes.
141 - Ebay cashback
131 - DSE ipad mini
118 - OPSM - D&G glasses
112 - Target sales
101 - TGG - Nikon camera
92 - JB hifi

(list is not perfect, and may include deals outside boxing day sales)

Dick Smith seemed to have great instore deals, when it wasn't already cleaned out. I didn't think much of JB hifi's deals tbh.

What are other peoples opinions?

Poll: I got my "best deal" from….

      iphone 6 case for $10 down from $55.

      At $55, I expect the case to be water-proof, glass-shatterproof, terrorist-proof, natural disaster-proof, and end of the world-proof. And to wash my dishes too.

        It's an otter box, durable for tradies to use. Never had my phone damaged in one.

          Oh, I assumed "otter" was a typo of "offer"

      I have one of these - not so great for adults to sleep on but for kid's friends sleepovers, perfect.

      My sister is looking to buy this sofa. Where did you manage to get it for that price?

    Nothing in the end. Almost bought a 4K TV, but it became overwhelming with all of the options and I didn't in the end.

    I went to Southland reasonably early (8.45am) on Boxing Day, and came home with nothing.

    To be fair, I had no "must buys". But I thought I might pick up some outdoor solar LED Christmas Lights for next year. Found nothing. I suspect some stores are not putting these out on sale any more, given that people go mad over them nowadays.

    The only other thing I would have liked, was a Sunbeam Vacuum Food Saver. But they are almost never on special for some strange reason. I had a heap of Coles/Myer Gift Cards (from doing online surveys) to use.

    Foodsaver was $137.00. I went back today when things were calmer, and managed to get a $12 discount on it! Not much, but I have dithered for over a year now on this. Bit the bullet and bought it. Will probably turn up cheaper somewhere else, but as I had gift cards, it suited me to buy at Myer.

    To be honest, I don't think these sales are anything to write home about any more. Just another gimmick in the retail calendar. Most years gone by, I could never find the things I REALLY NEED on special. I guess it is more about impulse spending on STUFF.

      Good summary

      A true ozbargainer gets a good deal, irrespective of the retail calendar.
