    These are Aldi's normal prices for these items.

    Just because they don't sell them all the time does not make them a bargain.

      A quality product for sale anywhere at a better price? Bargain in my book :-)
      Most so called discounts are only from inflated prices in the first place.
      A fake discount does not guarantee a bargain.

      If Aldi's "sale" products were available more often than 2-3 times a year then I'd agree but the time limited nature of them and the fact that generally they are considered good value/quality means that they constitute a deal/bargain.

    • Coke goes on sale every second week - so no bargain?
      Domino's deals every week? so no bargain?
      Myer sale every second day - so no bargain?
      Dick Smith 10-15% every hour - so no bargain
      Dick Smith eneloops on sale until next sale - no bargain?

      More importantly just released 50 page booklets from Amazon free (reduced from $10) ARE not a bargain.

        All your examples can be shown to have a 'saving' amount from the normal price.

        Aldi's price though is the normal price. There is no saving.

        • the fact from previous deal:

          and compare to my response on the same post.
          coles after discount $9.99 aldi "don't sell all the time" $8.99

          coles promo dettol is still bit expensive compare to aldi, in which they don't sell them all the time…. which i think it is a bargain…

          well, this is my personal view, but i might be wrong compare to others…

  • Has anyone here who's actually bought an underwater compact camera - any brand at all - had it last with moderate use for over a year without leaking and becoming and expensive paperweight?

    • My Panasonic Lumix TS something made it exactly 362 days, then died. When I tried to claim a refund, I was told it wasn't covered because it happened in the Amazon, which has 'different water'.

      I got a refund. Idiots.

      I wouldn't recommend one. Even before it died, it was pretty average. Apparently the Olympus model is the one to get these days.

      • My wife's Fuji XP150 was AWFUL. Very hard to close the battery/card door and when it leaked within the warranty period I still had no recourse as water incursion wasn't covered….ON A WATERPROOF CAMERA!!???! In the end I wore the cost….I think it was $180. Not buying another. It effectively got used 4 times. I had asked my wife to treat it as splashproof, but the temptation to take shots underwater with a camera made for the purpose was too much for her to resist. When I went online to look at other waterproof cameras it was pretty much the same story all round. I consider the underwater compact to be a con.
