Chaoscreater on Dell EcoLoop Urban Backpack (Blue, Laptops up to 15") $25 Delivered ($23.25 with Student Discount, RRP $83) @ Dell NZ

It's that thin, shiny, wrinkly synthetic fabric, so yeah it's quite meh.

Even with BOGOF the servings feels less than expected for the price. I weighed them and the 2x10 packs weigh 300g. If you buy frozen...

I noticed that the past 2 BOGOF deals the coupon had expired before the stated expiry date. Better to use those coupons early IMO.

Yeah. Let's hope that Costco starts opening stores around the country, and relative upstarts like Waitomo and NPD put in some real...

Plug on $5 off $50; Tararua Butter $4; 20% off Slippers, Dinnerware and Drinkware; 30% off Lightbulbs @ TWH App (Requires MarketClub)

A lot of their stuff are outdated junk. Say whatever you like with Kmart being perpetually out of stock, but at least their stuff are new...

Don't forget that you can just borrow them from the library.

That's what happens when you have private equity ownership. Previously Ampol was chasing market share, now its current owner Allegro Funds...

Gotta get the app regulars through the door with a deal first, in order to get them hooked.

Avantime commented on Up to 30% off Select Styles: Wool Loungers $114 (was $175), Free Delivery over $60 Spend @ Allbirds
The great thing with these is you don't need to wear socks and they won't smell because they're so breathable. The downside is that water...

Savey on UP&GO Chocolate Ice / Vanilla Ice 250ml 6 Pack - 2 for $8 @ The Warehouse

You're lucky. I went to 5 stores in Auckland (checked stock before leaving) and all of them were cleaned out.

scott on Swap Old LPG Gas Heater for a New Electric Heater (Free of Charge, 1800 Available) @ The Warehouse

Yeah the operating economics of these LPG heaters is just poor, a $10 fan heater will give you more heat (no heat loss with ventilation)...

Carbon monoxide risk can be mitigated with adequate ventilation and a CO alarm. Heat is critical if you have the elderly in the home, as...

SloBurn on Swap Old LPG Gas Heater for a New Electric Heater (Free of Charge, 1800 Available) @ The Warehouse

I would keep one of these LPG heaters as backup in case of an extended power cut. I wouldn't want to freeze like those Texans last year...

Latex Fist on Surfshark (80% off) Plus 97% Cashback (~ $5 to $10 for 2yr) @ Cashrewards

A bit OT, Nord now owns Surfshark.

Avantime commented on [PS5, XSX] Call of Duty: Vanguard AU$30.31Delivered (~NZ$33.61 Approx.) @ Amazon AU
Reading the PS5 game review, there's no campaign mode because it's not in the disc?!

As a crossover, the Y has much more mass appeal and will maintain its value better than the 3, and Teslas already maintain their value much...

The US don't get the MIC Teslas because of the 25% tariffs for cars from China.

Facebook is full of scammers and thieves, and they're getting more brazen with the current crime wave....

saxasianguy on Whittakers Chocolate Block 250g $3 @ FreshChoice, Epsom (Auckland) ($2.70 via Pricematch at The Warehouse)

Yeah I saw it too, but didn't read the full post. Tough spot to build a small fancy supermarket as Farro is next door and PaknSave is down...

A $100 food spend and 15 packs would be more reasonable, 29 packs is a lot of TP to store. I would *strongly* recommend long rolls if...

Dutch on Persil Front & Top Loader Laundry Liquid 4L $19.99 (Was $33.45) @ PAK'n SAVE, Henderson

GSK Persil or Henkel Persil? 😂 FYI Henkel's NZ brand is Dynamo.

Huntakillaz on Oculus Quest 2 (128GB) $575 (Was $799) + Shipping ($517.50 Delivered with MarketClub) @ 1-Day, The Market

Not for a long time methinks. Project Cambria is due in September or thereabouts, but that will probably cost $2000+. I think late 2023 or...

Ephixaa on Castrol Edge 5W-30 5L Engine Oil $50.99 (Limit 2) @ Supercheap Auto ($43.34 via Pricematch at Mitre 10)

With old (10+ year old) cars you'll want to have a thicker oil (e.g. -40 rather than -30) than the manufacturer's recommended oil in the...

LupinS on Castrol Edge 5W-30 5L Engine Oil $50.99 (Limit 2) @ Supercheap Auto ($43.34 via Pricematch at Mitre 10)

If you have the tools, it's very easy to change the oil as the carmakers generally make it easy. The biggest issue I've found is the small...

Bill on Earn 150 Flybuys Points When You Sign up to Disney+ ($12.99) for One Month @ Disney+ (via Flybuys)

If they're in effect giving money away, then it's more than a possibility.

Avantime commented on $1 Shipping (Exclusions Apply) @ Onceit App
They seriously need to add a wishlist function. It's 2022 and this site still doesn't have one.

Mods, any chance we can have a poll to see what the win rates are?

Avantime commented on Can opener recommendations
The bog standard can opener is the most versatile. I got a Magican and while it doesn't create sharp edges it won't work with odd-sized...

Yeah Vodafone changed it recently, you now need a "service" to get rewards. Previously all you need is a $1 Vodafone prepay SIM to get the...
