Default Aus Websites - Pricing

Can any one advise on Australian websites that show prices of electrical goods and food, so i can start preparing. Main stream websites like Curry's or Tesco's.

For electrical stuff, try Retravision, Dick Smith or Harvey Norman.

2 more things to remember when you look at prices -

1. You can haggle - if you do a good job of it you can get between 10%-20% off most electrical type stuff (food shopping is exempt from that comment LOL)
2. If you use the Good Guys, on the receipt they will give you a stamp for $x off your next purchase. $25 is the most that you can get off, but you only have to spend $50 to get the $25 off. Example - yesterday I bought a fan for $55 & used my $25 voucher - the fan cost me $30!

Another thing with "The Good Guys", if you are a member of the RACQ QLD's motoring association, then you get a 12.5% discount. But not with the above mentioned voucher apparently

ABC, I get them to take the $25 discount off after Ive done the haggling. I just present the receipt with the $x off stamp when I am at the till paying - no ones ever said no or even questioned it!

www.staticice.com.au and www.razorprices.com.au are some electrical/computer price comparison sites. I put some more links in the sticky at the top.
