I get what the OP is asking. For example, we don't have any 10c recyclable bottles or cans in our bins, because they're already put aside…

Ozpersonalshopper. Just find me the cheap flight on the bogan express during peak season.

Tollery on Kirkland Signature 7-Piece Golf Iron Set $599.98 (Was $849.99) In Store Only @ Costco (Membership Required)

All of Costco's stuff from food to sporting goods is branded Kirkland. That's like saying saying Anko = Kmart or Ozito = Bunnings. What…

Uh... yeah, is this a surprise?

SydStrand commented on Most Lightweight Sunscreen Recommendation
Biore Aqua Rich SPF50+ I didn't like applying sunscreen daily for years because it felt so thick and sticky on my face

The amount of ignorance in this thread is astounding. Vets don't get kickbacks for selling greenies or dental treats. It's not prescription…

No, it's not. More misinformation. Like any other dental treat like dentastix or even the off-brand ones, it's just a gummy and abrasive to…

> They are paid to recommend it. No, they're not. The two big prescription brands (Hills, Royal Canin) have vet exclusivity but there's no…

Cool story bro

marshmall0w2 on 30% off Everything in-Store & Online + Delivery ($0 in-Store/ $150 Order) @ AS Colour

'Bargain' doesn't mean automatically choosing the cheapest crap, it means getting the most bang for your buck. It's why the Ozbargain meme…

Maybe they're siblings buying for the same make-believe mum.

SydStrand commented on Pump Dryers Suck
No problem with mine. Either your model sucks, or skill issue.

SydStrand commented on Xbox Series X 2TB Console Galaxy Black Special Edition $899 + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
I think the paint job is pretty nice. But it's barely a deal. The cajones of Microsoft to even think about charging $1000 for this in a…

xmagic on Sonos ARC Ultra Smart Soundbar $1588 (RRP $1799) + Delivery ($0 C&C) @ Videopro

These are not comparable. The Arc is a four year-old model so is at the deep discounting phase of its life cycle vs the brand new, two…

$450/day is cooked. I literally hired a car (Outlander) 2 weeks ago after a fender bender from Budger and it was $480 for a week.

What do you do for work? I can't think of a single thing I'd use AI for, professionally.

It's basically the 2024 version of this [all-time classic.](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/743033)

OP waited 5 years to post this.

Sonos is great if you can afford it, like the aesthetic, and prepared to go all-in. My living room is Arc/Sub/2x Ones, with a couple of Era…

No. They released second and third round offers for people if someone else declined to proceed with their order, but it was always for…

Maz78 on LEGO 10316 The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell $829 Delivered @ Tates Toys via Everyday Market

Aaahhh, yes, the old Lego 'markup' like paying for design, licensing the IP, and non-slave labour.

Recently had a similar situation where I booked an aisle seat and a stranger was at the window. We thought we dodged a middle passenger…

SydStrand commented on What Happens to Amazon Returns?
They get on-sold by the pallet, usually to third parties who use them to stock refurb stores, and occasionally to random people. There's an…

linkindan on [Windows] Free: WinX DVD Copy Pro V3.9.8 Lifetime Licence (Was US$67.95) @ WinX DVD, China

Last country video store I ever went into was a desperate retail hellhole that stocked only three things: DVDs, durries, and Funko Pops.

Cool, can go with my free copy of WinRAR

You were driving too close, or would have had enough stopping distance. Yes, he slammed on his brakes, but people do this for reasons…
