    whoo was planning on going to costco on Tuesday anyway! now to find something useful in these deals :p

  • carlenet on 28/08/2011 - 11:13
    +2

    Good job OP! :)

  • dd22qq on 28/08/2011 - 11:46
    +2

    So with some items they only state how much the saving is without actually giving the price? Weird.

  • dealhunt on 28/08/2011 - 11:48

    OP do you know why on some products they tell the discount but not the price?

    • slowmo on 28/08/2011 - 12:04
      +3

      nope i don't… my guess is that they are trying to avoid complaints from other retailers if the discounts actually undercuts them. Or, it might be a marketing ploy to get you to visit them… either way, i think this weeks' offer is worth a visit.. at least for me. :)

      • bragains on 28/08/2011 - 14:00

        What is wrong with the undercutting? Isn't that the whole notion of doing businesses?

      • machej on 28/08/2011 - 23:21
        -1

        Isn't it a breach of the Aus trading act? I think every promotion needs to label the price. Maybe ask the ACCC?

        • slowmo on 29/08/2011 - 00:28

          No it's not. Mainly because of the fact that this is an exclusive, members-only price/sales that is not available to the general public. (ie, you'd only be able to be contacted with these promotions only when you become a member.)

          IMO, don't fret about this sort of thing too much, the demand for the things sold at costco is so elastic that if it's just a couple of dollars more, people will go elsewhere.

    • surm on 29/08/2011 - 02:20

      Perhaps the discounted price is still not attractive?

      Perhaps stores in different states have different pricing albeit the same discount?

  • medium_tight on 28/08/2011 - 12:13
    +2

    This is one mad research. Tks OP :)

  • Bigsta on 28/08/2011 - 13:07
    +6

    to me they really dont seem that cheap i mean the specials are good but similar to when other supermarkets have them combined with the effort of going there and the membership fee is does not seem like that good a place to shop really for normal grocery's

    Also it annoys me how they dont always put the price on things.

  • the_pharmacist on 28/08/2011 - 13:10

    are the condoms discounted too?

    • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2011 - 23:04
      +3

      Don't worry, you'll never need any.

  • uder on 28/08/2011 - 13:19

    Interested in what the actual TV prices are.

    • BlueMM on 29/08/2011 - 12:17

      I was looking at the Samsung D550 51" Plasma last Friday & think it was $1049. So would now be $900, which I believe is a great bargain (has anyone seen it cheaper?, personal reviews of people that own the D550?)

  • kickmiass on 28/08/2011 - 13:19

    Some of this stuff isn't as cheap as i thought.. i go to my local bargain store and they actually have some of this stuff as the same price as the discounted stuff… =/

    • slowmo on 28/08/2011 - 18:02

      yep, certain things are not 'omg' cheap… in fact some of them are dearer if you compare to the specials prices outside. That said, there are certain products that are cheap (after much research), and which I'll be getting in bulk in costco.. :)

  • elguapo on 28/08/2011 - 13:36

    Sitting here patiently waiting for some one to comment "ohh but you need to pay to become a member" (said in a daft yokel voice of course).

    EDIT - I didn't read all the comments in enough detail. Looks like some one has already questioned it. Simple fact is no one is forcing you to shop anywhere. If you don't like their business model, which involves paying a membership fee, then simply don't go there move on and continue to get ripped off by the likes of Coles and Woolies because we all know their prices are down down…..sigh.

    • bragains on 28/08/2011 - 13:55

      Read my post :)

    • A Banana4scale on 28/08/2011 - 14:29

      HTF did they let you in. Costco Canberra won't even let you see what's inside before even opting for a membership

      • bragains on 28/08/2011 - 15:06
        +2

        Just walked in. Perhaps my cheapskateness emanated so strongly that they'd know immediately I would have been an bargain hunter type person :D

        The guy behind the checkout chick asked me the same question, and was baffled when I told him I strolled right in.

        Cue 'System of a Down - Cigaro'

    • abc on 28/08/2011 - 15:32

      Give this guy a medal. You need to be a member to shop at Costco. Bloody genius!

      Just FYI, the sky is blue.

      You might not have noticed this because of the large rock you appear to be living under ;)

    • Tal_Shiar on 28/08/2011 - 15:51

      Wow paranoid much

    • Erkel on 28/08/2011 - 15:59

      Ummm everyone knows you need a membership to shop at Costco?

    • Radar on 28/08/2011 - 19:43
      +5

      Why are people voting this down? I bet heaps of people don't know you need a membership to shop at costco - especially here in QLD where many have not even heard of it.

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 29/08/2011 - 02:24
        +3

        It's because the people who know that you need a membership for Costco somehow think that they are much smarter than people who don't. The ignorance of someone stating obvious things like " FYI the sky is blue" is hilarious. And don't say "I was just kidding". Don't belittle someone just because they were not aware of the policy of a store that only has one presence in our entire state that spends virtually nothing on marketing and informing people of their conditions of purchase or entry.

  • zooboy on 28/08/2011 - 13:58

    what do you guys think of the ProForm Treadmill do you guys think its good value ?

  • dealhunt on 28/08/2011 - 15:44

    From what I understand you should spend $1000 and up to see some believable saving, add the membership cost too!

    • NoApostrophePlurals on 29/08/2011 - 02:31
      -1

      I don't know why you got neg voted. What you are saying is true. How do you think you will recoup your $60 membership? You might need to spend $1000 before your savings equal a $60 saving compared to shopping at other places. This figure could be less, it varies on what you buy obviously.

    • zhenjie on 29/08/2011 - 09:59
      +1

      Buying a kitcheaid or higher high margin product (especially hard to find USA products) will recoup the $60 in one saving. There is no hard rule that you need to spend $1000 to get that $60. There is no basis or evident support that $1000 rule

  • bizi on 28/08/2011 - 16:07

    Tell us the price, son! :D

    $ 70 OFF - Toshiba EL800A 26" LED LCD 720P HDTV Item 19962

    It's hard to guess the price. $70 off rrp or off an actual previous warehouse price?

    Has anyone visited during this sale to find out actual prices?

    • carlenet on 28/08/2011 - 16:20

      Doesn't start until tomorrow. :)

  • dn4hc on 28/08/2011 - 22:02

    Do you have to get membership to shop in costco

    • prankster on 28/08/2011 - 22:15

      yes or have someone with a membership to get you in and they have to pay at the register

  • y_owez on 28/08/2011 - 22:06

    some items maybe more expensive in costco..but remember..it's anytime refundable and lifetime warranty.
    when newer model comes it…..your electronics probably aint "working" properly…. refund it..get new one.

    • dadots on 28/08/2011 - 23:08

      Lifetime warranty? Never knew of it, where did you get the details from? Apply to all goods?

      • y_owez on 28/08/2011 - 23:33

        correction… lifetime warranty as long as you remain as a member…member for 10 years warranty 10 years!!

        lots of those that neg costco on prices dont know the advantages of the membership.
        60 dollars is ntg for what you can do with the stuff there…

        • surm on 29/08/2011 - 02:34

          Doesn't seem to be correct.

          http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/41911

          After 90 days, buyers must contact the manufacturers for warranty.

          EDIT:
          Looks like the above applies to US stores, while Aus stores still offer lifetime refunds and warranty

  • prankster on 28/08/2011 - 22:14

    doh wish i waited, went to costco today and got most of the items and some of them are going to be on 'sale' unbelievable - oh wells all good

    • y_owez on 28/08/2011 - 23:34

      if u are free ..u can go back and bring the items and receipt and ask for the difference…refund and all

      • prankster on 29/08/2011 - 11:43

        interesting so i just go back and give receipt and they will go through each items and give a refund from the difference?
        is it as simple as that?

    • BlueMM on 29/08/2011 - 12:14

      I did the same thing, bought a few of the on-sale items last Friday :( Should of waited for the coupons to come out

  • MrMaxwell on 28/08/2011 - 22:51

    Many things are sold in bulk/larger quantity than what Coles/Woolies sell. This alone means there are many discounts to be had. Some things can be found cheaper elsewhere, or during certain weekly sales, but Costco is great for many things. I do my 'big' shop every 3 months at Costco (I was living in Melb, now Syd) and my fresh food/milk/etc shop at my local Woolies. Best solution for me.

  • cysp on 28/08/2011 - 23:30

    Thanks op!

  • surm on 29/08/2011 - 02:50

    "although it is not necessary to be a member of Costco if you choose to shop online at the Costco website or buy Costco goods with a Costco credit card"

    Is this correct? This CC appears to be free of annual fees.
