kungfuman on Woolworths Spring Water Bottles 600ml 24-Pack $8 (Excl. TAS) @ Woolworths

Yet private, profit making entities have our best interests at heart, of course.

SlowCarSlow on Caroma Elvire Progressive Wall Basin Mixer - Knurled Gunmetal Handle $99 Delivered (RRP $811) @ Elvor Tapwares

Make things harder to use, but cheaper to make with fewer controls. Seems they're following the apple playbook.

Pixel Spam on July Carry-on Light Expandable Luggage + Ultra Violette SPF Bundle $192.50 Delivered @ Ultra Violette

But $192.50 for a carry on suitcase is far from cheap. The only way to get value is to include the sunscreen, and even then it's still not…

odysseus commented on [NSW, Short Date] Japanese Drinks: e.g. -196 Unsweetened Pink Grapefruit & Orange 350ml $2.99 @ Zetciti Rhodes Central
How can that soft drink just be $7 for a can normally? Crazy!

nuker on Verbatim Blu-Ray BD-R XL 100GB Blank Disc 20-Pack (MABL tech, 3 Layers, 4x Speed) $129.89 Delivered @ Amazon JP via AU

Except optic drives also die... so goes against your argument against hard drives...

Ultraman on (Amazon AU / Amazon AU Warehouse) Insufficient Quantity Deals 2025 (Post Low Quantity Deals Here)

Why is it in the Dum and Percussion category?

odysseus commented on Buy 1-Year Single City Membership for $70, Get Bonus Multi City Upgrade (Worth $50) & $30 Activ Visa Card @ Entertainment
I also still get value from it. The others mentioned here are good in the CBDs, but don't have good coverage outside it. However,…

alexlk on [NSW] Free Train and Metro Travel on Thursday 31 July and Friday 1 August @ Transport NSW

Don't see anything to say they did advocate for it. And if they did I'm sure it would have been more visible.

MUL512 on nbn FTTP or HFC 500/50 $80/Month Ongoing (New and Existing Customers) @ Exetel

If you're on fttp/hfc you'll get the upgrade to 500/50 as well. And if you're not on fttp/hfc, it doesn't apply you to doesn't sound like…

MS Paint on (Amazon AU / Amazon AU Warehouse) Insufficient Quantity Deals 2025 (Post Low Quantity Deals Here)

$45 for this in 1984...? They would have seen you coming.

Krazyy on (Amazon AU / Amazon AU Warehouse) Insufficient Quantity Deals 2025 (Post Low Quantity Deals Here)

It does when I checked. P14: "Changing the Date Display Format"

Krazyy on (Amazon AU / Amazon AU Warehouse) Insufficient Quantity Deals 2025 (Post Low Quantity Deals Here)

I would think these should be able to do it, via a setting. Check the manual.

easternculture on 10% off Australian Crypto Convention Tickets + Booking Fee, ICC Sydney, Nov 22-23 @ Australian Crypto Convention

How does "getting in early" make it legit? Legit isn't the time of entry. It's the purpose, and/or underlying merits. Why are there now 500…

tonyjzx on SONIQ 55" FHD Commercial Display $250 + Delivery ($0 Pickup from VIC, NSW, QLD, or SA Warehouse) @ SONIQ

If it's okay... then why not mention it? Just trickery - and valid to call out specific details not included.

Grassy21 on Double Status Credits or Double Points with Virgin Australia @ Velocity Frequent Flyer

Worse than that, it's only 1 SC for $24 for Lite fares, as many people buy since they're the lead-in (advertised) fare in many cases. VA…

Seems to be a fake budi (unsurprising at that price)

odysseus commented on Philips Air Purifier Smart 1000i Series (AC1715/70) $199.00 Delivered @ Amazon AU
"Philips has 80+ years of expertise in air care. " Not the OP's fault, but misleading. This is now produced by a Chinese brand, Versuni,…

carpecrash on AmEx Statement Credit: Spend $500 at Virgin Australia - Hotels by Hopper, Get $150 Back @ American Express

Same. Should be targeted.

elektron on Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil 750ml $15 (Was $25) @ IGA (Selected Stores Only, Excl. TAS & NT)

Yes and no. They would be similar but each market will have differences, like how Coke relies on corn syrup in the US because it's the…

foxes28 on Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil 750ml $15 (Was $25) @ IGA (Selected Stores Only, Excl. TAS & NT)

Which shows it's a US test, on one bottle (sample). So not really relevant to Australia. Something they'd want to look at over there of…

odysseus replied to
elektron on Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil 750ml $15 (Was $25) @ IGA (Selected Stores Only, Excl. TAS & NT)

Except... it's from a sample of 1. And on US product, which is completely separately produced from Australia. Obviously not good. But at…

ern123 on NCL Last Minute Sale: Up to $10,700 off Per Cabin (up to 2 Adults) Alaska, Hawaii and Europe Cruises @ Luxury Escapes

Their scanning prioritises alcohol/liquids, and electronics. They only contact you if they find something of concern however. Just check…

It's not NRMA, but an auto club group that they work with.

Chris87 on Free Dairy Farmers Lactose Free Full Cream or Light Milk 2L at Coles @ Flybuys (Activation Required)

I'd expect the producer funds these, not the retailer.

What a stupid move by them.

ATangk on Westpac Altitude Velocity Platinum: 75k VFF Points with $4k Spend in 90 Days, $75/Y Fee, $49 1st Year Card Fee Existing Customer

No, only Qantas do charge the credit card surcharge fee.

odysseus commented on 390*390*840mm Poseidon Acrylic Pedestal Gloss White Basin $10 (Was $479) + Delivery @ HD Reno via Kogan Marketplace
Ugly and badly designed. No surprise this is going cheap.

Stuff you actually need can't be found at Kmart. But stuff like this, that's what Kmart has.

Wiadro on Fiji Airways: Los Angeles Return from BNE $851, MEL $918, SYD $950, CNS $1074, CBR $1076, ADL $1151 via Fiji @ IWTF

There's a good reason for that.
