I was going to go to BCF for a refill but was incidentally at Bunnings first and saw they were doing swaps for $19.85! Grouse!

It would be even more grouse if the bargain was at Hardware House.
That's rad dude.
BCF is so grody.
Yeah man, you go in there and you get dacked!
Promotional price is ending today.
Thanks OP, just got one. I asked what the normal price was, and he said $50.
$50 must be for a new bottle. Not a swap
Suppose so… But it's what the staff told me.
Exchange only is normally low $20s, but whole new tank is around $50. (I keep two cylinders, one in use and one backup in case gas runs out half way through BBQ,)
It's OK to be a Doomsday Prepper these days.
The Zombie Apocalypse is only a matter of time.
I had a friend give me a spare bottle. Didn't give it much thought. Later, after two BBQs that would have gone half-cooked, I think that he's a good friend.
+1 for the dankness of 'grouse'
aren't normal prices around $24 for the refill?
The title has confused me a bit. Is it a swap price or a new full bottle?
If it's just a swap that's the normal/low Bunnings price.A swap has never been $49.85!Can you swap any bottle or has to be bunnings
i swapped one that i got at coles express a few weeks ago, they dont seem to care
Thanks mate will keep that in mind
Not a deal, swapping an empty for a full is always around that price
Proof?
Proof? Try common knowledge. A NEW bottle is only around $30 - 50, so why on earth would anyone pay $50 to swap for someone else's refilled bottle?
But just to appease your laziness I'll give you a few links (including bunnings 1 year ago at just a couple dollars more):

you know all of the ones you linked are sold empty right?
@jobler:
The 2 $29s and the expensive one from sca yes. The BCF one doesn't say it is empty, and it is the normal price for a full new one. The swap ones are obviously not empty.
This is not $30 off, normal price is about $22-24.
Gas refills are $19.95 @ BBQ Galore - https://www.barbequesgalore.com.au/9kg-gas-refill
That was my bad. Wrong title edit based on the wrong information by Bunnings staff.
I took his word for gospel as I had never had one refilled, have only had to buy full ones so far.
Are you blind?
Bunnings is $19.85
$19.85 is less than $22.90.
Saving $3 off a $20 purchase is not a bargain ! …. it's a pretty ordinary discount at best.
If petrol was 14% cheaper than the lowest price is that a bargain, is 14% off Apple a bargain?
If i was going to buy 50-100ea 8.5kg gas bottle refills it might have merit. Am i going to march down to a Bunnings to make an AMAZING total saving of $3 on a gas refill… hello no !
15% off a $900 purchase is worth something.
15% off a $20 purchase is not worth time chasing.
@berger: Typical OzBargainer, would drive across the city to save $3 on a refill, using $10 fuel (plus the time) in the process.
@Mic Cullen: Typical flog.
I am far from a typical Ozbargainer. in fact, i just get a refill from my local grocer who is a couple dollars dearer.
i don't drive across the city to save a cent here or there, my life carries on as normal with a deal like this.
I do love a bargain, but its got to be worth my time. Spent $1700 at Dick Smith Saturday on some genuine bargains i have eyed off for 4 weeks, I was also at Masters Saturday looking for the $49 Triton tool kit.
As for the fuel comment.. company car and a work credit card.. but that's besides the point. You don't know me.
@berger: OK, I'll make it simpler. Well, I'll try. Using a percentage to determine the value of a discount without taking into account the cost of the product is utterly ridiculous. Thus, the comparison with high cost goods like Apple is utterly irrelevant in this case. HTH.
I shopped at Fountain Gate..
They absorbed all the Move store stock, so got some nice B&O audio products reduced heavily. Wasn't really after much else.. Oh an IPhone 6 case for $2 too.
I've been pleasant with the staff, no point being rude, if they had nothing on shelf I just accept it. Wished them luck for the future, it's a situation I'll never have to deal with fortunately, and don't wish it apon anyone.
I did however stock up on the pre xmas sale, got a mixture or barriers dirt cheap and an Acer tablet for $40 down from $600
+1
Cylinder swap is still $56.75 - http://www.bunnings.com.au/swap-n-go-8-5kg-gas-and-cylinder-…
As others have said - title incorrect
Yah titles been corrected now
It's been below $20 in Modbury SA when I swapped bottles over the last 3 months
Save $3.13 BFD.
I always refill for $18 at my local masters. I ask for a discount and they give it to me.
Got 2 more bottles to refill that I picked up off the side of the road the other day :)
One other plus for a bunnings swap is they also take out of date bottles, unsure if other do. But I know my local servo that does swap
ngo will not accept out of date bottles as "swaps".Masters do too
How much do you like hot food?
Great idea, gas is the biggest rip off
I'm sure if tec screw the barby to the back of the ute and hook er up to the fuel tank
I can put the kids pool in there too as spa/fire retardant and go mobile
Keep an eye out for us on your street/the news$19.50 at Camping Plus stores
Refill or swap?
Refill
Fackin grouse, I just used all the gas in me barbie yesterdee!
Gees there's red everywhere in this thread
Musta been a knock down drag out blue and now everyone's fled
Looks like I'm gonna hafta bring everyone upta speed
Well this bloke had a bloody brilliant idea about filling up yer barby tank at the servo using the bowser
Now ya hafta make yer own adapter using bibs an bobs from here and there and then bobs yer uncle
Just the thing when ye got a mob a hungry anzacs coming over fer a feed
Bloody brilliant
good on ya mate taThe normal price of a swap and go of an 8.5kg cylinder is $22.98. A 'new' 8.5kg swap and go is $56 something.
Checked my records. I paid $19.85 for a 8.5kg swap n go at Bunnings on 6/1/16.
Based on this, I'd say this is normal price.
Not according to the Bunnings website bud http://www.bunnings.com.au/gas-swap-8-5kg-gas-exchange_p3180…
Last time I filled up it was low $20's… not under $20.
I know its only a few bucks, but for those that use the Bunnings swap system on a regular basis, this is technically a good deal…. I've got two bottles I'll be changing over today because of it, so there's $5-6 extra in my pocket.
Cheers OP!
That website is wrong - I'm telling you that.
08/01/2016 Cash & Purchase BUNNINGS 694000 $19.85

Fair enough mate… I was just going by their website is all.
It was on promotion in January. It was on promotion last week. From today it is now back to $22.98.
+1 vote from me for using the old 1992 "grouse" … wow :D
