I've just added 360 days option for Most Popular Deals listing. Looking back the top 10:
- GraysOutlet $10 Discount Coupon
- Scoopon $2 Hungry Jack's Whooper
- DickSmith $19.99 Eneloop Glitter AA Batteries
- Subway Free 6inch Sub + 600ml Drink
- Google Play "25 Billion Downloads" Promotion
- 3M Free Post-It Notes
- Dell $9 Printer
- TheGoodGuys 20% off Gift Cards
- SkyDrive Free 25GB Upgrade
- PaperMate/Sharpie 3x Free Products
I just realised the 3M Free Post-it never arrived…
I guss I was lucky to be a participant of all above bargains, exept for the Dell Printer. I didn't really need one at the time, I feel regreted now..
That's true, I have also not yet received those post-its. It has been 8 months…
Hmm… I didn't receive my post it notes either…………
I'm going with the Dell, Simply for giving people upgrades when they didn't have to.
Exactly, that was quite a good move from Dell, where they could have simply cancelled the orders saying it is out of stock and no longer made. Finally got a wifi printer which can print on each side of paper with fax for $9.
OzBargain zeitgeist!
Now scotty just has to make a video to some inspiring music :D
The Dell looks pretty decent.
Scoot launch flights.
Various winemarket coupons.
Quite a lot of the Christmas presents I gave and received!My vote is for one that missed out vote wise but got a very healthy +221
Qantas SYD-LAX for $A850 return (Actually I paid $A810). Plus full QFF miles allocated giving $100 back on a Woolies gift card. Net $A710.
A Virgin Friends and Family flight is/was $A750 and that's standby only with NO frequent flyer points. Only available to limited people, and standby sucks if you miss a flight (like we did the year before)
Yep.. I just got back from my trip to the US a few weeks ago… I wish I stayed longer :(
I was really lucky and got upgraded to business class on the A380 on my return flight for helping a passenger with a medical issue.
Great deal. Really happy with that one!
There might be other best deals for 2012, but for me top 5 were:
1. Jamesons $22 gift card, which can be used anywhere
2. Dell $9 printer, which was upgraded for free of cost ( worth more than $70)
3. Telstra $169 4G modem with $180 voucher.
4. Free Norton 360 with some cash ( after getting cashback cheque in 4-6 weeks)
5. Batman Archam City xBOX game for $12 delivered.Thank you everyone for sharing these deals with us.
The easiest and most valuable deal this year for me would be the ING 5% Back on Every Contactless Purchase under $100. Have saved hundreds without doing anything out of the ordinary.
Before the ING deal, I was getting 5% off Woolworths/Coles gift cards.
Oh, half price Pepsi max. Pic of my haul
Wish I could have gotten any of the Aus-US flight deals. Instead I ended up getting a decent fare to Japan then finding a really cheap flight from Japan to NY.
The Gray's deal(s) have been great. Kicking myself for not buying the $9 Dell printer. Biggest miss for me this year: Jetstar's Intro price to Hawaii. Was home all day, and went out briefly to do something come back and it's expired. Doh.

Happy new year everyone
Unfortunately I missed out on the dell $9 printers as I was on holidays but my best 2012 bargains were
$467 Asus pad tf300t with dock from HN about six months ago (still more expensive now)
$230 nexus 7 32gb from TGG
I love my android devices and someone should create an ozbargain android app one day.
The TF300t pad turned out to be another HN catalogue error but I was quick enough to goto store to pick one up before the memo went out. HN and Asus again…
The nexus 7 was a price match based on a user postHappy new year boys and girls! Thank you for all the bargains!
For me it would have to be the lenovo thinkpad tab cashback $75 cashback and the coleman esky from amazon for $60-ish delivered in 3 days.
That and for ozbargain being a reference point before buying anything :-)
Thanks everybody that makes ozbargain ozbargain :-)
Either the $600 Folio 13 Ultrabook I'm typing this on right now or my one and only post on Ozbargain: the $1.90 Monteith's Sparkling Ale. I cleaned out my local Dan Murphy's stores entirely and drank this every night for 4 months (and toasted the birth of my son with it!)
Unfortunately I didn't get many of the best bargains before they got sold out, but of the deals I did get in on time the best would have to be:
Tiger flights to Gold Coast
Bulmer's Pears Cider $30 case at first choice (missed out on $20 Herrljunga)I'll add more if I remember them
that reminds me, the $10 cartons of Cider Pascoe Vale South (Vic)
Jamo speakers from amazon plus the Harvey Norman Yamaha 3065 receiver for a combined 450 was unbelievable. A bargained down price equivalent from jb was 1400 (note this price includes a sub that my combined price did not include). Amazing deal.
Favourite deals I managed to score for the year:
Amex Connect $25 target rebate, stacked with $10 off vouchers
Several scoopons for fabness canvas prints
Pioneer S300 pack for $199
Nexus 7 at launch from eb for $297
Dell $9 printer
10% off at masters. Combined with discount gift-cards, saved a heap of cash on flooring, tools and appliances.
DSE outdoor antenna for $64
AMEX CPA deal with free nespresso machine, if the machine actually arrivesThe best post was the DSE clearance sale
For me picking up a 2 trouser Pierre Cardin suit from The Men's Shop for $149 stands out as the highlight.
Honourable mentions to a replacement laptop battery from Dell for $9 and a TomTom GPS for $79 from Dick Smith.
Dell Printer $9 x2
Thought you might have opted for the $37 Suit from Tesco ;)
Oh god no.
I hope you didn't buy that in the end. It's really going to hold you back in life ;)
Google LG Nexus 4, which I can sell at more price still, LOL.
Nothing beats the dell printer deal (actually the upgrades to wireless model)
For me some of the best ones were;
Colorado going out of business clearance ($10 items…) (got it)
The free 12 bottles of OMNI white wine - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/60904 - (missed it by that much)
Logitech Speaker Stand Big W price error - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/61578 - (got it)
FREE $10 itunes voucher from ACCC - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/75606 - (got it)
Free fake book from vodafone - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/83776 - (got it)
and I missed the $9 bloody dell printer and have been kicking myself ever since LOL
Blimey, have reviewed most of my comments for 2012 and came across these OZB bargains that have been faithfully served up to me…….many thanks to OZB for a great 2012!!
I will have to look back and see what some of the big misses of 2012 were :)
