With End of Financial Year Sales marketing going into overdrive,CHOICE.com.auhas released the top 5 products from last year's sales with tips on how to spot a bargain and how to avoid a dud.
"End of Financial Year Sales are one of the busiest times of year at CHOICE.com.au " says CHOICE spokesperson Jonathan Brown.
"Marketing goes into overdrive in June and while there's some good deals to be found, but you can also end up stuck with a dud product that's been collecting dust on shelves. We've released the top 5 from last years' sales so we can help people get a good deal and avoid being ripped off. According to our data, End of Financial Year and Boxing Day sales are when Australians shop for big ticket purchases - large appliances we expect to last for years. Even on sale, these are big investments and no one wants to regret a big feature of the living room, kitchen or laundry for years to come" says Brown.
