6. Samsung Galaxy Book: AllPhones is selling the 128GB Samsung Galaxy Book (Wifi + 4G model) for $1246.96 – a not insubstantial saving of $624, or 33% off. The catch is that the boxes have been opened, but the products are all as new. Click here!
Some seriously good deals here. But what of the Coles 1/2 price farce.
The list details products which were selected by Coles to go on half price regularly. The real price (correct price) is the half price, whilst the non-special price is double what it should be. An absolute brilliant trick played out by Coles and the customers who fall for it.
We can use Aldi as a benchmark from the Coles list:
Premium Ice cream, Coles $4.50 , Aldi $4.40
Chicken Breast Tenders 400g Coles $3.97 , Aldi $3.50
Check any thing off the Coles list, it’s all the same story.
Maybe Life Hacker can have a close look? The ACCC should have done so some time ago.
