LupinS commented on Logitech MK235 Te Reo Māori Wireless Desktop Keyboard & Mouse Combo $69 + Shipping ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ PB Tech
A Maori keyboard that doesn't even have dedicated buttons for macrons? Seems an odd decision. Along with putting words on numeric buttons.…

This comes up every time, but the reality is the regions are huge. The only difference in pricing between you and the person across the…

You need to have places sorted by area. Many stores aren't locally known by their actual names, scrolling through hundreds of stores isn't…

DannyV on Addressing Ongoing Cashback Tracking and Customer Service Issues with ShopBack

Sounds like the normal experience of most people. I have tried four times with Shopback - and not one has tracked, and the only "resolve" I…

There are both best before and use by/expiry dates. Be clear about which one it is before purchase ;) And there is a very clear degradation…

LupinS commented on [Christchurch] Towbar (Rated up to 2500kg) + Installation $405 @ Towbar Express Christchurch via GrabOne
Seems pretty good. The cheapest I found for my vehicle was $700 a while back. Though there is a bit of mystery as to whether they are…

I'm currently switching out my older i7 NUC for a technically slower, but newer, i5 that will use half the power and actually be slightly…

LupinS commented on Would a Mini PC like this work in NZ?
You can likely buy a fairly new ex-lease one for not much. Often all they've been running is advertising for a big LED sign.

Have you read the T&Cs? I haven't, but have for a bunch of their other "games" - and for all the ones I have always a "this is not an…

Meh, most hasps/bolts are the weak point anyway. Get a nice big strong padlock and you just be adding a nice big strong lever to break the…

LupinS commented on South Island: New World 3 Day Sale, Every Product Sorted by Discount up to 52.7% off (Club Card Required) @ New World
It always interesting to compare North and South. Once again it seems the SI has a much higher amount of sugar, salt, and fat. The first…

Yep they are pretty shit. My parents have had a slowly dying one for a while. It's been slowly(ish) turning blue. Most places wont even…

Have a look at Papanui instore. They had several about the place yesterday (maybe day before). Including at least 3 with clearance prices.…

There are some fairly cheap cameras, sensors, and Arduino kits in there too. Typically the only thing I want shows as being in-stock for…

3 weeks??? Kiwigas on CHCH can almost always do it the next day. And last I looked has better pricing.

"as is where is" has no legal meaning, and will not protect you legally. Hence why you need to get *written* confimation of acceptance.…

The arguement is that they can ask for compensation for loss only. They can't fine you, they dont have that power. An hour in an empty car…

LupinS commented on Can I list a car for sale on TM with no WOF?
Yes. Just make sure you say it in the advert, and get a *written* (write it yourself and get them to sign) confirmation that they accept…

LupinS commented on Meridian Fixed Pricing Ended - Whose Now Cheapest?
So for (most of) CHCH the best current rate seems to be with Frank at Daily Charge $ 1.3800 / Day and an all Inclusive $0.2680 / kWh (inc…

Interesting - I never actually got informed of this, I just happened to look at my rate because I was doing tax and I was thinking the…

A year old unfortunately. And probably the plan I am being moved off, so will need to move provider to get a decent deal. Bigpipe at $84…

The areas are large. Most of CHCH is the same pricing. Although I forgot to mention that part ;)

LupinS commented on adidas: Extra 40% off Outlet Items + $12 Delivery ($0 for adiClub Members/ $150 Order, Free Returns) @ adidas Outlet
.......so I'm wearing a pair I purchase on the very first sale way back, and have one new pair from same. And remmebering all the bullshit…

LupinS commented on Friends & Family: Cost +5%, Cost +7.5% or Cost +10% on Selected Brands (Exclusions Apply) @ Noel Leeming
Thanks OP. But in reality these promotions are worth so little they should really be stopped from advertising them unless they are also…

LupinS posted a forum topic Meridian Fixed Pricing Ended - Whose Now Cheapest?
18c to 28c and the daily charge is up 53c as if this month for me (and others I'm sure). Sadly even with the big jump they still seem to be…

mrphil on ShopBack NZ Hotel Bookings - Anyone Have Experience? Expedia, Booking.com etc

Many hotels list their prices as a fixed rate and rarely if ever discount them on their own booking service as it can be precived poorly by…

AhhNo on ShopBack NZ Hotel Bookings - Anyone Have Experience? Expedia, Booking.com etc

Likewise, would recommend CashRewards over Shopback - who have yet to correctly track a single thing for me.

Discount Code on [FIRST] Kogan 24" Full HD 100Hz Frameless FreeSync Monitor (1920 x 1080) $97 Shipped @ Dick Smith

Most people can't tell the difference between 1080 and 4K on large screen from a metre away. I would t be worried on something this size.…

Has been not allowed for months. Maybe a year. Are you sure?

ace310 on Solar for an at home EV charger Are there any deals when you need a sparky?

Faster charging causes more heat. More heat degrades the battery. Not sure where you are getting your "no evidence" from. Cause that's…
