What’s Your “Steal” Purchase from Boxing Day Sales (20th Dec to 27th Dec)

Mine has been a Max and Miller polarised sunglasses for $11 which were delivered today and found them to be substandard so I will be returning it.

I seem to recall that previous years seem to have a lot more bargains but now a days I feel like that off-season (not Black Friday, Xmas, prime day ) seems to get more bargains. Not sure but it could be just me.

Tells us if you scored a deal/bargain/steal ….

    Cotton on. Seemingly reasonably made denim jacket with full ACDC back patch sewn on. ACDC label too. Was $90. Got it for $20. Also had ones with rolling stones and Bon Jovi. Quite a few at Warriewood square. Looking on eBay those sort of full back patches alone go for around $16.

    Didn't see any good deals on anything I was interested in this year.

    It seems like retailers took Black Friday more seriously than Boxing Day.

  • Got a Bose Home Portable Speaker from Myer, was a nightmare to get (their customer service is garbage.)

  • +3

    Some clothes/shoes from Amazon, some incredible prices to be had there. Their pricing is all over the place with different sizes.

    Went to the shops for a browse today and bought NOTHING. David Jones/Myer sales are a disgrace, same they do all year round. Had to laugh in DJ's at the $100+ GANT shirts and petty 30% off everywhere, crap crap crap.

    Boxing Day sales haven't been worth bothering with for more than ten years now. Myer/DJ used to do genuine clearances with plenty of steals to be had, but those days are long gone.

  • Full Synthetic fancy oil for my shitbox, 6L for $45.32 after cashback and cashrewards extra $2.
    Not even a bargain, it's just that the car has started to eat more oil than usual now.
    Can't believe all I got for boxing day was car oil…

  • $2 Milo

    • Same $1.40, got 15kg worth and a further $10 off as an existing Cotton On member.

  • Nothing. Everything I wanted and went and looked at had “up to 60% off

    Got some chicken mince today at woolies down from $6 to $2.11.

    I got some Neodymium magnets from eBay for 50c after the $2 Shopback cashback.

    Didnt get anything this boxing day. But got the phillips hue starter kit for cheap on black friday.

    I bought online, and got a call it was sold out. I never got a refund, and 1.5 weeks later, i received a ready for pick up email. After PayPal amex offer, 18 bucks

    I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019), for $199 from Catch, on which I'll get a $26 cashback from Shopback and $40 statement credit from Paypal Amex offer, so net cost is $134.

    Not a really big steal, unfortunately, because Officeworks/Harvey Norman were selling it for $178, but still a lot cheaper than, say, the current cheapest price on Amazon ($249 from MobileCiti).

    It would have been a better steal if Catch had price-matched Officeworks/Harvey Norman.

    My local grocer overstocked cherries and had standard cherries (not large premium ones) for $2/500g pack - bought 7kg in the morning; there were only a few discounted packs left in the afternoon. There were also clearance premium mushroom packs (100g shiitake/wood ear, 150g mixed) for $1.50 - bought ~10 packs.

    Both came in handy for family gathering at our place.

  • I picked up some long-life Pauls Smarter for $1.25 per litre.
