The cheapest! I went in there haggling hard saying it's between this and a Hyundai Venue manual which was a few grand less, and they gave…

I had the same dilemma 18 months ago. Brand new car with a 7 year warranty vs a used Toyota. Decided on a Haval Jolion. The one issue is I…

I press the "Extra Salt" button. It's still a complete lottery. Sometimes there's no salt, and sometimes it's so salty you can feel the…

I'd much rather go with EVA than China Southern, but they charge SO MUCH to choose a seat. It's an extra $353 per person on these flights.…

Last time I tried Apple Music (on a Windows desktop) it was constantly buffering and could take 20 seconds to play a new song.…

matt15 on Value Burger Feast (4x Zinger/Original Crispy Burgers & 4x Regular Chips) $18 @ KFC (Online/App & Pickup Only)

I had something like this the past few weeks when I tried ordering. It popped up with "add 2 large sides for $6", so I added that, but when…

BillybobBarmcake commented on PER/ MEL/ SYD One-Way to Vienna, Austria from $398/ $496/ $498 on Scoot via Singapore (Apr to Oct) @ Beat That Flight
Baggage cost always kills Scoot deals for me. China Southern seem to be the cheapest Return to Europe for almost every date I've looked at,…

Cheap Chinese IEM's are legitimately amazing value, you realise how much sound quality you lose with bluetooth earbuds, and compare with…

There's zero chance I would have actually gone for this one, it's way too obvious a scam. But it makes me worry about FB Marketplace in…

I've never used Facebook Marketplace so I'm unaware of how scammy it usually is. Currently wanting to buy a used 5th or 6th gen Ipad Pro…

BillybobBarmcake commented on SoundPEATS Wireless Earphones Opera03 $48.50 + Delivery ($0 with Prime/ $59 Spend) @ TEKTEK AU via Amazon AU
Bought these for the sound quality- it's awesome, better than much more expensive headphones but fatally flawed- They're simply too heavy…

Yes, QLD. I think I got lucky though- it was a new salesman who was really nice, it was the end of the month, and I literally did go to…

npnp on Virgin Australia: Tokyo Return from $814 Including 23kg Checked Luggage [August to December] @ Beat That Flight

Manila airport is the worst airport I've ever been to, and I'd never personally go again, but if you've already booked then I don't think…

shanlee on Melbourne to Tokyo from $321 One Way, $618 Return on Cebu Pacific or Royal Brunei Airlines [Feb to Sep] @ Beat That Flight

Yes! It was such a weird badly organised experience queing down some stairs to go in to a small room with no idea why. Hated Manila airport.
