Yum. Fed the kids for a couple of bucks each and got some for the freezer 😉

Been looking at that for a while since it was posted on GZ. How is it? How do their products compare to the likes of (at one end of the...

Huntakillaz on USB Powered Desk Fan at The Warehouse 2x for $5.62, 4x for $9.37 @ The Warehouse

Yep, certainly better than no circulation at all. And if you're concerned about reliability just set up all 4 :)

CheapAzChips commented on USB Powered Desk Fan at The Warehouse 2x for $5.62, 4x for $9.37 @ The Warehouse
Have some of these. They are perfectly serviceable as a small fan to keep your face cool, but don't expect it to circulate air around a...

jamesdeal on [Clearance] Varta Battery Charger with 4 x 2100mAh AA Rechargeable Batteries $17 @ Smiths City

Yeah, if you search the OzBargain forums you'll see some discussion about IKEA NiMH batteries. Apparently the better ones (I think there...

I've given up with most rechargeable brands, be they from China or local, they just don't last. I'm now only buying Eneloops. They're...

cheapdoodnz on Sony HT-S350 2.1ch Soundbar $228.60 + $6.00 Shipping @ The Market

Yeah, that's what I thought. Regrets all round for me, but YMMV. My point was that you really need to try before you buy with the low (or...

Beware cheap soundbars, I picked up an LG one for around this price on special and it was rubbish. At least as bad as the TV speakers,...

Jaxson on Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - $377.36 with 11% off Coupon from The Market

BF at PBTech was $399, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this one. If PB can't beat it, I don't think anyone else is going to.

Very tempting indeed. Comes to $383.36 after shipping is added. Buy now or wait for Black Friday...? I think I might wait...

evilplan on CurrencyFair Referral Increased to €50 until End of Year (Min €2000 Transfer)

Can confirm all the above, and I'll also add that CurrencyFair make it difficult to transfer NZD into their account. Used to be easy but I...

Got some actual deals? "Up to 50% off various items" sounds good but it's pretty vague.

No deal, this isn't a site to advertise youtube channels, no matter how charitable it may be.

Great, thanks!

"Deal closed" :(

CheapAzChips commented on 2000W Fan Heater $10 at Bunnings Warehouse
Crappy noisy heater of questionable quality. But it's a great price and probably the cheapest (relatively safe) way to convert 2000W of...

Thanks, got the 25m extension cord and reel work 4 outlets, $32. Great with free shipping too.

More like NZ$40 for a comparable model, then you've got the long lead time and difficulty of getting a replacement if it packs up after a...

Very. Don't buy if you're expecting legitimate keys.

C'mon cheapsters. $10 Bunnings umbrella is not only the best quality umbrella you can buy for under $50, but it's also a badge of your...
