stratbargain commented on [Switch, Switch 2, Pre Order] Metroid Prime 4 $79/$99, Hades II $64, Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 $79 & More @ JB Hi-Fi / Amazon AU
$20 extra for Metroid on Switch 2 is bullsh*t. I might just leave my switch 2 to collect dust and just emulate it on PC instead. They…

Why would you trade in a camry after 3 years if it's so reliable?

stratbargain commented on Annual Mobile Phone Expenditure
Salary sacrifice a new phone each year and trade in the old one. usually nets out to $100 profit or $100 spend. Pretty much break even.

My take on it is, it's more to give the shop a few sales at the end of the day. The value isn't really there most of the time. Bakers…

stratbargain commented on Used Tesla Vs New Chinese EV
Test drive. And make sure to take into account the scheduling servicing cost of a chinese EV vs the expected servicing cost of a Tesla.

Why not also consider replacing the gas cooktop with induction so you can cut gas completely. An extra $70 saving a month will help to see…

True but if you're going to spend the money anyway (which most adults would do with regular bills etc) then it's a nice reward. Obviously…
