Next time you’re shopping at one of these stores, try scouting out other stores to find the same product for cheaper before ripping into the packaging. While you’ll add some time to your shopping experience, it could save you money.
Check out PriceSpy and PriceMe to find deals, and you can also see the pricing history of products. Just remember that some promotions on products can exclude them from price guarantee criteria.
Be sure that you are comparing the same products across stores. While the product may be similar, it needs to be identical (except for colour) in order to qualify.
Many big-box retailers also offer guarantees for refunding the price difference on items purchased shortly before a sale. Just bring along your receipt or online order number.
Rebel Sport and Briscoes guarantee this refund if the purchase was made within 14 days of the sale. The Warehouse guarantees the refund if the purchase was made within seven days of the sale. Bunnings offers a change-of-mind return or exchange, because it doesn’t run traditional sales. Mitre 10 and Noel Leeming say any refund would be at the discretion of individual stores. Kmart does not offer this guarantee.
If you regularly use Laybuy or Afterpay while shopping, this can impact how you receive your refund. If you paid using a buy now pay later service at Briscoes or Rebel Sport, you’ll be issued the price difference via a gift voucher.
