So today is 35.99. Last time there was a special it was 33.99. Is this really a deal at that point?
What I am saying is if it is to be a a black friday discount deal. At least move the price to like 29.99? Otherwise for people stalking prices its just a bluff
I paid 159 last year. now 180 this year https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/noco-noco-genius-10-batt…
It's undoubtedly a discount, whether it's a good deal is up to individuals to decide. The ACCC reference was obviously a Chicken Little exaggeration.
What you paid on special last year is interesting as a comparison, but largely irrelevant. Prices for many products have risen for a range of different reasons - Putin's horrific war has had many flow on effects for example - and discounts are generally not as heavy (Colesworth are prime examples).
@Igaf: I'm saying it is really a discount? Sometimes with club membership it is cheaper. Anyways ebay spare box is cheaper on engine oil for me
Colesworth are prime examples of small discounts. But does that explain their increase profit for the FY? If you watch shark tank the margins on a retail item of a product is about x3 of the cost to make.

A bad idea, but start a business and see how you go. The statement above is ridiculously simplistic. Retailers have huge overheads - infrastructure, wages and conditions, energy(!), marketing, maintenance, wastage, theft (!) etc etc - which have to be priced in.
That said, in recent times profits in some areas have got out of hand : https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/corporate-profits-inc…
Got a $10 CB for $50 spend for SCA today as well on CBA Yello.
I am going to neg SCA promo 20% off site wide deals from now on pretty pointless when Jack shows up
They aren't site wide and your neg would be invalid according to the rules.
Baby and the bathwater comes to mind but if it helps you to let off steam….
The notion that any big sale will always offer the best price on every item is ridiculous. You still have to shop around, as has been the case for a very long time.
But how is it a deal when the 20-40% off weekends are very frequent? if its once in 12 months site wide is 50% off then that is deal. this is more like a weekly 'oh hey we have 20% off this weekend again"
What's your point? That retailers should offer consumers far fewer incentives to shop throughout the year?
When you come across those 'frequent' 20-40% off (almost)site-wide sales make sure you post them because they aren't anywhere near frequent enough for many of us.
If you have NIB Rewards they are doing 7% off Supercheap Auto gift cards at the moment.
What I wanted is only 20% lol. Hopefully others find a good deal.
The name is super cheap. When I walk in, nothing is cheap.
bs..the sale finished before 11.59pm. ..think i'll just wait for actual real sale
Still waiting for the actual sale…
Are you saying SCA's normal price isn't $44.99 (~$5 above other big retailers, including one of their Super Retail Group mates BCF), or just that you missed out on a better price when it was discounted previously?
