Bunnings are having a free sausage sizzle for their 30 year anniversary.
Celebrating 30 years of Bunnings Warehouse
Our first ever Bunnings warehouse opened 30 years ago on 24th August. Celebrate with us with a free sausage sizzle. While supplies last, with fair limits per customer.
This deal appears to be available at the following Bunnings stores:
Parafield SA
Parafield SA
Still plenty at 12:30pm. Ain't appear to be running out anytime soon.
Also free drinks.
Free lunch.
No such thing.
TANSTAAFL
I don’t think there is a limit one lady got 4
Like a hotdog down a hallway after that kind of effort.
Must be the Minchinbury store
Tempted to drop the yo mama joke
Obviously likes a sausage fest.
Do Bunnings donate to the organisation who operates the sausage sizzle in lieu of the customers paying? Or is this Bunnings themselves doing this as a marketing exercise?
Usually its the club scheduled for that day that brings all the raw materials (snags, bread, etc).
Bunnings just supplies the bbq stand location and gas.
Bunnings doesnt charge for the use of the stall so any money raised goes all to the club. (to the best of my knowledge when my friend used to do some for his kids sports club)
Was at the Parafield one and more than half the people working at the sausage sizzle were bunnings staff and some from the rotary club.
only 1 store in each state? what a generous offer.
You're welcome
Ahahahahah
People whinge about literally EVERYTHING on here. If the store they're doing in isn't close to you, you're in the same position you were in before you found out about this deal. At least some people benefit from it.
Gawd, everyone is so ego centric, it's actually depressing. I don't benefit from this deal but I'm happy for the people that do.
Why do I feel like I just got scolded by my mum
Did you learn anything from what she scolded you about?
She scolds me too
Look how much the sooks are negging you. They really need to calm down.
It's normal. People are very selfish nowadays, especially in the major cities. It's normal to them.
@kiriakoz: Yup they're the worst. Triggered over the smallest, smallest things. What a horrible life to live.
'People whinge about literally EVERYTHING on here.'
Yes. I am going to whinge about your erroneous terminology. Please note that 'egocentric' is one word, not two.
Not at all, thank you for correcting me. No problem with correcting me if you're right.
People whinge about literally EVERYTHING on here
Proceeds to whinge about people whinging.
By that measurement, you're currently whinging about my whinging. That'll show me.
@kiriakoz: Really didn't think I'd need to clarify between your two paragraphs about egotistical people and depression versus me pointing it out.
Or are you one of these people who takes offense to literally EVERYTHING?
For the record I don't disagree with you, couldn't care less if this was my local Bunnings or not. Just saying that whinging about whinging is counterproductive.
@pennypincher98: I also was pointing it out. I literally don't see the difference. I'm pointing out the whinging and you're pointing out that I'm whinging.
What does it matter how many paragraphs I wrote?
Well done.
@kiriakoz: Pointing out is "you did this". You did not point out, you called them depressing egotistical people. Now I'll do more than point out.
I find it ridiculous how you're defending a product that abused its market power to effectively monopolise an industry. $2.2 billion in profit last year and countless neighbourhood stores gone but here have a free sausage in one store per state to celebrate this occasion.
Oh also Bunnings will absolutely come after anyone that dares deviate from the standard.
If you can't see the difference in responses, kindly get help :)
@pennypincher98: Glad you don't consider three replies as whinging.
Oh, I get it: when I do it, it's whinging and when you do it, it's "special" and "different".
I'm not defending anyone, please point out when I defended Bunnings. All I said is that people benefit from this deal, which they clearly do (take a look at the 62 + votes and counting if you disagree with that). What a reach. All you can do is pivot from one attack to the next, which you're welcome to keep doing.
@kiriakoz: I am now whinging because I wanted you to see the difference in actually whinging, and just stating a fact.
Alas, it seems that there is no hope for you. Now it's a beautiful weekend and I'm going to enjoy it. I advise you do the same and reflect on this thread afterwards.
(Although I know what you'll instead do is spend the next 10 minutes trying to shift the goalposts and make this anyone elses fault because you absolutely need the last word and can't take other's criticisms.)
@pennypincher98: Enjoy mate. Before you go, point out where I defended Bunnings which you made sound like I was supporting Isis in an effort to be sanctimonious.
Celebrating 30 year anniversary
Bunning doing okay?
Doing better than Masters.
Its days like this I wish Masters was still about. Stick it to them and their one store free sausage sizzle shizzle.
Was Masters a sausage fest?
It was at the trade counter.
You'd be celebrating too if you went from 0 to monopoly in under 30 years
One store only wow generous
I counted 6.
Sausage sizzles are always free. But when you arrive at one you typically have to pay for a sausage sandwich.
Huh? How is that free then?
A sausage sizzle is the event. The event is free 😊
Problem is, nobody calls sausage-on-a-slice-of-bread a "sausage sandwich". Everybody calls it a "sausage sizzle" whether it's correct or not.
Noone I know uses that term. Im in my 40s and I had never heard anyone use the term sausage sizzle to describe a sausage sandwich until it was on the news a year or two ago. Im in NSW. I believe it is a regional term.
Only about 8% of people call a sausage in bread a sausage sizzle, with the vast majority calling it either a 'sausage in bread' or a 'sausage sandwich', according to a survey done by some Australian academics. Summary of results here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1D2j-v8LXn_QiNTJOsmAspxClnVW…
But you have to pay for the bread and sauce?
and onions.
Legitimate question
Someone reported as spam. Must be in ACT 😂
Not SPAM it’s sausage!
Wasn't me. I am not spending $10 in petrol for a free snag sanga, lol.
Only $10? I would need to drive 4 hours for a “free” sausage.
Haha, fair enough. My closest Bunnings is only about 10kms away, but my car is VERY thirsty. 4 hours would bankrupt me, lol.
Pretty sure Bunnings have been around for more than 30 years…
Founded 1886 in WA
30 years since they opened their first warehouse.
Wow, 1994 was a big year for retail as that was the first year for Officeworks too. Those 2 stores brought Australia (finally) into the 20th century, too bad we still don't have Wal-Mart or an equivalent.
Costco opening here was pretty big though, I've never been to one.
Pretty good that we don't have Walmart. Their working conditions are awful and decidedly at odds with Australian standards. Even the UK, where employment regulations are looser and they tried to make their model work, was a failure for them. They lasted five minutes in Germany (and not just because of the "Germans don't like happy shop staff" meme). If you know of all the complaints about how Colesworth treat employees, set your expectations lower. Much lower.
@banana365: I think they failed in UK/Germany because they don't have available land in the city centres to build such large stores, so they have to build them way out of town, in industrial areas. Very impractical for the average shopper.
Don’t know but the guy at the stall was saying 30 years
McEwan's was rebranded as Bunnings in 1993. The McEwan's brand dates back to the gold rush era I think.
Taste of austraya
Alot of the store still do free sausage sizzle on Fridays early morning for tradies. Just dress up in hi vis .
Just dress up in hi vis .
Thats the cheat code.
How much is the Sausage Sizzle at Bunning these days? I remember it was $1 before?
Tree fiddy
Actual correct use of this phrase for once
Did they fix the onion issue?
I think they let that one slip….. I will see myself out now….
They decided years ago that it was a non-issue. The unfunny jokes about it have been painfully slow to update.
Don't cry about it.
smart marketing - get volunteers of local charities to set up and sell sausages
to attract people to Bunnings where the average spend might be more like $50
so Bunnings get local kudos and a steady stream of satisfied customers
eat sausage, blood rushes to stomach, brain fade, 'yeah I need one of these' … $$$ kaching !
Unresolved Reports
1 for Spam
Don't waste mod's time making frivolous reports.
I literally just left one of these stores and didn't know 😔
Are you guys seriously calling a sausage sandwich a "sizzle"?
Sausage is the sizzle. The bread is mearly a vessel so one can hold the sausage. Along with the onions and other condiments.
A sausage sizzle is the event where sausage sandwiches may be purchased.
Looks like most of NSW calls it a sausage sanga/sandwich. Most Aussies call it a sausage or sausage in bread. WA weirdly calls it a "sizzle" 😝

They can call it whatever they want as its their event. When you host one you can it what you like too.
@xoom: I will, thanks. And if I ever post an ozbargain post I will call it a free sausage sanga. Look forward to the opportunity 😉
They’re wrong, but that’s the current year for ya…
Can I send my drone to pick it up?
A 30th anniversary sausage sizzle… and its only on at a few branches. How and why on earth….?
The Sunshine warehouse was the first Bunnings warehouse in Australia.
I'm guessing the others were the first in their respective states…
The one at Glenorchy was not the first Bunnings in Tasmania. That one was built in 2014 and opened in 2015. Before then, Bunnings operated out of the old Hardwarehouse store in Derwent Park (which is now an Amart).
Always be kind to the people serving these sausages and meals. Seem some random grabbing a few and getting mad for no reason.
And this is why we cant have nice things.
Anyone know if they still have sausages now?
At 5pm? lol no
Anyone know if they'll be serving veggie sausages?
When? Where? Why?
