How Do You Feel after Purchasing Something That Goes on Special The Day after?

Just bought QC 35 a day before the Harvey Norman cashback, making myself extremely hurt.

    credit card price protection.
    also some stores have a 30 day price match guarantee.

    I bought Nandos the other day and didn't notice until I got halfway home I could have gotten a free large side by scanning a separate promo code in my Nandos app (which I used to scan to collect points).

    Devastated.

    A true ozbargainer would buy another one and return it with the first receipt.

    • I read that it was hard to return @ HN based on 'change of mind'. Still got those $8 go lunch boxes unopened in my storage.. >_>

      • The glaringly obvious tip here is to never buy ANYTHING full priced at HN.

  • Like sh*t.

    I buy it again

      Exactly, average down your cost by buying another one at the reduced price. :)

    Bloody fantastic if it's at the good guys as I get refunded 120% of the difference! Everywhere else, a scale of slightly depressed to what is life depressed depending on how much I spend,

    I am a PRO ozbargainer, never happened and never will.

    I get excited because being a true OzB I've bought it on Coles card and now I can claim for price protection!

    Sick, and close to mailing my ozbargain badge back

    I rebuy the item at the cheaper price, and return one with the original higher priced receipt. Annoying, but simples!

    • Do you return it with the box? Wouldn't they be able to see from the serial no when it was purchased?

  • Can't have buyer's remorse of you don't buy anything *taps forehead

  • Happens to me all the time very frustrating

  • +4

    Hahaha, how come only negative poll options?

    I'm usually fine. If I was happy to buy it at that price, then I was happy to pay that price. Sales happen literally all the time - if I got mad or sad everytime I bought before a sale, I'd be sad or mad all the bloody time!

      Get your logical, glass half full, no regrets attitude out of here! For shame! This thread is a cathartic way for the rest of us to share misery and wallow in self pity.

      OP describes as being "extremely hurt" yet no option to share that.

  • I bought air condition from Harvey Norman for $799 on Sunday and the following day Amex HN offer spend $400 get $100 credit became available cost me $200 more :( If it wasn't that heavy and bulky I would have returned the item.
