This is why I like AliExpress. They tried to gamify shopping, but since there's so many vendors it always fails miserably. Promo on an…

I bet if you greased a palm with the game's RRP you could have gotten a copy this morning. Keep that little trick under your hat, though.

Probably combo of Baldurs Gate 3 and the fact that the real appeal was the theme and not the game, so once the theme ran out there wasn't…

Has the free section disappeared from the Epic store?

Oh, and make sure your phone is charged when you arrive, charge it on the plane if you have to. They've dropped paper arrival cards. You…

Oh, and if you do still want to stopover in Taipei, which cost an extra $400 for the flights per person, do it on the way there when you're…

Notes from my last flight (Auckland to Osaka, stopping in Taiwan for a week on the way back) - Don't buy Duty Free liquids in Taipei…

I know, that, I'm saying at $22/kg the bar is low for them to make a special. EG $20/kg = 10% off, but it's still more expensive than…

Bar is pretty low for Woolworths to clear on the mince pricing. $22/kg for the cheapest, crappiest mince available. Woolworths, number one…

Whatever happened to you, beef, man, you used to be cool. Now you're $50/kg for sirloin.

Oh, actually I'll do this, I have a good question that will probably be dead easy.

Are bone-in chicken breasts a thing at the Mad Butcher?

Came to say this, this is just the same benchtop oven that has been around for decades with a new name.

Looks like a stock-standard AliExpress robot vacuum.

Oh I just came to say "I love cast iron but CBF babying a casserole dish" but if it's enameled then great, even if it's not perfect.

I did a $22000 deposit into an Australian BPay account and Wise saved me $400 on Forex vs my bank. I just keep a bit of cash in there at…

Any random, particularly good First deals like that electric screwdriver of old? It seems to let me apply free First without limitation and…

The true answer is probably, "because they can"

Good spotting, especially as it doesn't say Apple anywhere, like they're trying to hide the fact that more than half of it is apple juice,…

$7.40/L is pretty pricey for 50% apple juice. Should really be called Apple, Orange and Mango

The shipping thing made it very confusing to read, seems weird to separate that out if shipping is mandatory. But otherwise great idea, as…

Marketplace is actually becoming less abhorrent, maybe it's because TradeMe is now becoming the greater evil.

I think the deal is "get two batteries cheap with this cool trick" Good for anyone already in the DeWalt ecosystem but I wouldn't suggest…

Yeah my opinion is mild hybrids are greenwashing, I don't consider them actual hybrids. When I say "hybrid" (as opposed to plug-in hybrids)…

The Odyssey is 9 years old now and has done 180,000km on its original battery and shows no signs of stopping. I've seen refurb Prius…

Wild, earlier this year I had a 5L NA, 430HP Lexus LS600h that weighed 2.5 tonne and it got better than that at 10.8km/L combined around…

It's crazy to think my 2016 8-seater Honda Odyssey Hybrid gets better fuel economy than a 2025 Suzuki Swift. Fuel only vehicles have no…

I don't know about Apple, I assume Apple has done something to cripple everything unless you pay them a million dollars, but shows up as a…

My only experience with an Epson Ecotank was the discovery it has an internal counter that when tripped requires a mandatory service…
