You should know the procedure by now: (2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011).

The first 3 lines (4 in QLD) are free (about 15 or so words, name counted as one line). $11.28 VIC, $2.50 QLD, $5 SA/NT for each line after that.

Applicable Newspapers:

They have changed it up a bit and removed a lot of newspapers. Sorry NSW, you must pay $32 to put your love message in the newspaper.

Excludes Western Australia, Tasmania, NSW.

Also:

We are running a Valentine's Day competition — so post a love message to OzBargain in the newspaper. $50 Gift Card plus some T-shirts + Bags up for offer.

Last year's recap from The Herald Sun with a mention of OzBargain.

This is part of Valentine's Day Sales for 2016.

    Wow, is this what they have to do these days to get people to buy a newspaper?!

      Good marketing isn't it.
      It's really only free if you already get the paper.

    So tempted to pay the $10 and put a really bad photo of my fiance up and a super cheesy message. Any suggestions on the message?

    • IVI on 02/02/2016 - 16:24

      Lucky you…

      In SA, they demand (but won't get) $60 for a photo!

        These silly things are WAY
        overpriced, IMO…

        Send a cheap+cheezy Card, &
        enjoy a $60 Dinner out w/
        your fiance.

  • dlakers3peat on 02/02/2016 - 15:39
    1. Who reads newspapers anymore
    2. If your better half still does then how can you be sure they will read that message anyway
    • madseason on 02/02/2016 - 16:09

      Step 1. Buy the paper.
      Step 2. Circle the message with a big texta.
      Step 3. Giggity.

    Put your AD free and then Don't buy newspaper. Go to any Shopping Center or Public Service Offices ( Close to the end of day ) where sameday's news paper is on table for read. Pick up and ask if you can take the page to read politely and go home or wherever you going. Show to your valentine. Super Ozbargain.

    NSW people: you can get a message in a newspaper for free too. Just not Daily Telegraph. You can print a message in one of the interstate newspapers and then pick up a copy of that interstate newspaper from some NSW newsagencies! If you are desperate to get a bargain, that is!

    its free to leave a message on the back of a door in a public toilet.

    "Excludes Western Australia, Tasmania, NSW."

    So apart from feeling left out, maybe remove the "Australia Wide" from this competition and put only the states it applies to??

      You can put your entry in any of the papers as we will be checking all of them (or attempting to) for the comp.
