Rule #1: never rent from Europcar. I knew this about AU, but now know this applies to NZ too - thanks for the lesson! Rule #2: keep the…

Great write up!

Or stress-test their systems before they ramp up availability 🤷‍♂️

Thanks @Lizard Spock - just bought a pack. Now I have a solution, going to go look for a problem to solve with it 🤔

Got a 3-pack men’s dress socks; only regret is that I had to forfeit 4c from the gift card - total purchase was $14.96 :(

Awesome - what a blast from the past! Thanks for sharing!

After Life

You probably missed the best years of Costco by waiting so long though, IMHO. Their prices have effectively doubled over the last 11+ years…

There was no GST in the ‘90s. It was implemented in July 2000.

This compares very unfavourably with their previous offering - 90 days complimentary AppleCare.

Cheers! Would not have thought of that!

Fair point! I hadn't checked that though, and immediately blamed it on the fact that it's a Windows machine. It's only in hindsight that…

The naming scheme is supremely confusing! Thanks for the links though - I'll look at those when I've recovered sufficiently from my regret.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Unfortunately, I've committed the cardinal OzB sin of being tardy, so I've missed out on the great…

I'm trying to decide between buying a MS Surface Laptop 4 and a Surface Laptop 3. The SL4 has the following specs: Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM,…

Same price at Amazon, and free delivery for Prime members.…

You can return within 14 days, even if you use the product; ie not just opened the box.

The other option is to set it up in the garage - has been quite effective for me.

Get them fitted at The Athlete’s Foot - they’ve got black school/work shoes as well. The beauty of this is that they do a…

IKEA eastern states is a separate franchise; hence the pricing difference. In fact the staff uniform was also different at the Adelaide…

^this.

Oops - my bad!

Oh you mean: Frozen 2 (Blu-Ray) https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B081SQG8Y4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_BEGWFbCZXP2E9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Plenty of stock left at Doncaster [VIC - 3108] as at 9pm Friday; I estimate at least 40 remaining.
