      Less clothes and more eneloops would be accurate.

    Hahaha this comment:

    I've got a friend who is into this. It's to the point now where his life is nothing but a relentless hunt for bargains - on anything at all. He's descended to the point where he's addicted to coupons like a gambler is to the pokies.

    It's quite sad to see.

    I remember once he bought a terrible quality telescopic fishing rod on special. It broke first cast, and he was devastated. Another friend and I easily caught fish all afternoon with our premium fishing rods.*

    I hope he seeks professional help, and finds substance in his life.

      someone needs to post.
      My mate and i bought the exact same premium fishing rod.
      Thanks to OzB i didn't pay full price, but my mate did.
      I then had enough money to buy a boat and he didn't.

      • haha good one!

    • I hope he seeks professional help, and finds substance in his life.

      Once there are bargains for these I'm sure he'll be all over it.

    "She hates the site because she likes to pay full price. She's accepted it now. She goes OK, you're going to read about it online, and then buy it – three days later."

    Three weeks later, Tom found a 70% off deal on divorce lawyers.

    Doh, beaten :( got too excited while reading the article!

  • OMG, read the articles and think I need help, I am a bargain addict!!!!

    What I'd like to know from the mods is if there was a spike in signups after the article was published.

    • +3

      No spike in signups. Also referrals from TheAge + SMH + CanberraTimes + WAToday + BrisbaneTimes add up to less than 1% of traffic yesterday, i.e. insignificant.

      • Just an 'Employee' tag there scotty? Wow lol
