Hi Cheapies! Taking the family to the GC soon. We’ve got a 40kg luggage allowance, so I’m looking to fill it wisely.
Is there anything in Australia that’s significantly cheaper or just unavailable in NZ?
I'm looking for all kinds of recommendations, can be electronics, household, kids, health & beauty etc.
Also, are there any bargains, vouchers, or signup bonuses I should take advantage of while I'm there?
Any current OzBargain "must-haves" worth the luggage space?
Cheers!
I always topup my 23kg luggage up with ALDI coffee beans & ground. And they have nice European chocolate at good prices.
If the outlet store in Harbour Town is still going you can get some good stuff there if you want clothing. All the Aussie surf brands were well represented, and usually cheaper than here. There was an Adidas outlet store that had a whole bunch of All Blacks stuff that I bought and then flicked when I returned. I guess because it wasn't in New Zealand not many were interested in it. That was 10 years ago though.
Remember that if you spend over $300 in a single transaction on goods you're bringing home that you can claim the GST back at the airport. Google 'Australian TRS' for more information.
