Hi Everyone,
I have a week to move out and want to know where the best places would be for great bargains for around the unit.
I was thinking Kmart for the basic cooking and kitchen utensils but trying to work out would 2ndsworld or thegoodguys or another company be better for electrical appliances.
Thanks :)
I second that store, we've had a good experience there.
@OP,
If you're not pressed for time, consider garage sales/gumtree etc. People leaving country/moving/selling can't give away the stuff.
Target is good, but sometimes the quality is average. For the price though, no complaints.
I agree with Appliances Online, and gumtree - for example my friend moved back to the States late last year and gave a lovely 8 place dinner setting away free after no takers at $50 on gumtree. She sold many other goods there too. Myself and many workmates have all had good experiences with Appliances Online. All the best.
thanks everyone, i took a look at appliancesonline and they had the same pricing as thegoodguys and 2ndsworld but i could always save and upgrade later. i have taken a look at gumtree and hoping to get most of my stuff there but cheap new is always good too
Hit up some garage sales too (listed in your local newspapers, state newspaper, and on Gumtree). A lot of people sell home and small kitchen appliances for cheap, sometimes barely or never used.
Plus they're fun in general for bagain hunters.. never know what you'll find! :)
I got all of my furniture second hand off gumtree. I also second garage sales, you can often find really good kitchen stuff - look out for ones advertised that the sellers are moving overseas etc.
i ended up getting the 80 Piece Kitchen Set here - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/138141 and got a fridge and couch for under $300 and looks new so i think its a bargain there :) thanks everyone
You have all been good but what about sheets and towels, what are the quality of say kmart, target, bigw etc?
I've found the quality of the sheets from Kmart to be quite good. You missed out by about a month on some AWESOME towel prices at Sheridan. Their towels are always beautiful and soft.
Don't forget you'll need teatowels.
Spotlight has some good specials this week on blankets, doonas, bathmats sheets and towels this week. You may need to become a VIP member to get some of the prices, but it's easy enough to join up instore or online

I had a look at targets Grandeur range (was recommend to be good quality for price) and it looks cheaper than Spotlight for sheets and i can get the doona's cheaper at target too. but thanks for the heads up, i will keep an eye for spotlight specials now and will join up
The Target side sleeper pillow is fantastic (at least if you're a front / side sleeper like me). Gf tried to replace mine with a Sheridan pillow that just didn't work for me (too firm) but I managed to rescue my 2 yr old target pillow before it went to the bin. Will replace it at next sale (full price is only about $20 mind you).
I know kmart had buldles of 5 tea towels really cheap so im hopeing they still have them
Divorce is tough. Good luck with everything.
Thanks, i have just spent the day looking at 6 places running around and got accepted for a place within 1hr which i thought was good and is on my top 2 list but still waiting for my number 1 place to call me back tomorrow morning. i have a couple of things now and cant wait to move in and then buy the rest as i have relised that both places i really like have different size fridge cutouts (probably not the correct word) and the lounge rooms are different sizes but found a table and 4 chairs for $20 in new condition due to moving so i thought that was a bargain
i checked out Ziilch but when i looked under homewares there was nothing there and whats the link to freecycle?
Google it? Freecycle.org…
Facegroup BSS groups are great. I often see some great bargains there.
If new whitegoods, I can recommend www.appliancesonline.com.au. They deliver at a time to suit you and keep to the time they promise.
