saw this at my local Kmart. it scans up as $7 but the lady at the self checkout marked down the price without any questioning. only a few boxes has the $1 sticker.

posting from my phone, sorry for the lack of detail.

just fixed the image.

      When this happens, just think of the 3-R's

      Return -> Refund -> Re-Purchase.

        I tried that on some stuff with the Big W and they said they can only refund the now reduced price , even when I had the receipt,

        Not because the price had reduced but because I genuinely didn't want the item and had never used it. Still in original packaging.

          I don't think that is legal in NSW. I've never had that problem with Big W. I'd try another customer service person or ask for the manager. I believe returns have a 12 month timeframe as a limit for Big W. Perhaps someone can confirm this…?

          I think I've even returned stuff to BigW after 12 months and without a reciept (still had tags though), they are generally very accomodating.

          yeah…that's illegal

          not illegal, change of mind returns are only a gesture of goodwill from stores, however this is against Big W policy. If you have a valid receipt you get the price you paid for it. If you don't have a receipt, you get whatever it scans up at

    that's 0.549 c per cm !!

    Reasonable value I guess.

    I can understand why Kmart don't want to hold on stock like this, because basic Christmas trees change so much in fashion each year !!

      It'd be dead stock for 9-12 months when you could've sold possibly hundreds of items in the same space for hundreds of dollars of profit.

          9-12 months? Ha! I'm pretty sure I saw Christmas stock start to show in August last year. That would mean it's due for July this year.

    This deal would definitely feature in the "how to do Christmas OzBargain style" manual

      Yeah. An orthodox follower of the OzBargain faith holds all festivals 3 weeks after the traditional dates. Lest not he be overcharged.

      How about, buy the tree and decorations before Christmas. Assemble and view for a couple of weeks to see if suitable. Return for refund after Christmas. Save the $1.
