OzBargain Tips for Newbies

Hey there! I'm new and still getting the hang of things here, so I'd appreciate some tips!

What I mean by "tips" are, for example, the frequently mentioned money-saving suggestions I've seen floating around - 5%-off wish gift cards, Cashrewards cash back, etc. I know what these particular ones are but other newbies might not. Not sure if there are others.

Anything else you can think of will likely be helpful, though.

Thanks!

    Be swift. The best bargains often expire if you dilly dally. (I have never typed that phrase before!)

  • When it come to absurdly cheap travel deals… buy now, think later. If you take the time to think they will be sold out.

  • Domino is $5 before 9pm there food sorted.

    1) Take advantage of Woolworths Fresh or Free to get a refund AND a replacement item
    2) Visit donation-only restaurants
    3) Double your current funds by betting it all on black at your casinos roulette tables
    4) Don't buy things just because they are cheap - shop only for things you actually need

      Where's the fun in that?

      My Tips:
      • Use Cashrewards to make deals even better
      • Negs are to be used as a last resort
      • Make sure your PM setting allows for direct messages; users will assist you more easily
      • Don't be shy; contribute if you see something worth posting
      • Beware of Broden and Phone is fine

    • Woolworths Fresh or Free

      What does this exactly entail? Returning fruits or expired products?

      • This was only a light-hearted joke based on Woolworths giving a refund AND replacement on items that the customer doesn't believe are up to their satisfaction. :P

        • Ah shit. Realised it now that I've read the rest of your post. Was really hoping I can save some extra bucks somewhere.

  • You can show your approval for a user's deal or comment by clicking the green [+] icon.

    You can use the [-] icon for disapproval, but only on deals when you have an appropriate reason.

    Buy gift cards for frequented stores at the supermarket with 5% egift cards (bonus if there is a % off or bonus Woolworths/flybuys points).

    Telstra movies $12.50 can use discounted gift cards and avoids booking fee.

    Bookmark price hipster check past pricing on loads of stores from groceries to white goods & tech, helps you get to know if it's a bargain or an every month sale price.
