What Kind of OzBargainer Are YOU?

[Deactivated] on 17/01/2017 - 00:02

So many kinds of bargain hunters here, and each with their own views and criteria for what constitutes as a bargain. So lets talk about it. I like middle to high end tech at great prices, gaming deals, Manchester, dining deals and those juicy big discount codes for whatever I want in the shop. I don't like junky items. I have found if I have to pay for something again and again because it breaks, it is more expensive than buying a good one to start with. I also love to have rare gaming memorabilia, sometimes to flip, sometimes to keep. If something is rare and hard to find, except from a reseller selling way above RRP, then to me, it is a bargain, they are saving me real world dollars i may have spent otherwise. I know not everyone here agrees with this, but there are a lot that do, so lets hash out what WE want, all of us, together and democratically, so people don't keep getting abusive or hurt. i hate it when Reddit is more civil than OzB.

    I like posts that use paragraphs. :)

    I mostly go for everyday bargains, e.g. groceries, meal deals, phone credit, although I will snap up larger items like tech and travel, e.g. phones, cameras, air tickets when discounted if I really need them. I have to restrain myself from buying small tech toys for a couple of bucks not because of the cost but because they end up as clutter.

      First paragraph is off-topic. The post asked how you liked your deals, not your grammar.

      The second paragraph is well thought out and composed, so I give you a gold-star.

        The post asked how you liked your deals, not my grammar.

        And it's not grammar, it's composition.

    This isn't Reddit, you can use line breaks and paragraphs.
    A poll would be useful too.

      And this is not high school, I can also not, and will not now, specifically because of the off-topic comments. You could add something useful to the conversation or upvote the comment that already said it. Because this aint reddit mate and reposts are dupes.

        I reckon it's on topic to suggest a way a particular block of text can be made more readable

    With a family the necessities would be, grocery discounts, pharmaceuticals, toys, village cinema discounts, technology (computers, storage devices,etc),homewares, takeaway (for the odd occasion) and clothing.

    Tight arse but happy to spend more money or even full price if I know something is quality.

      I have been waiting for the eneloops, it is not a true OzB cross-section without them!
