* You get $5 on your account when you join and make a $20 purchase with in 90 days

What I can purchase?
-- there are lots participating stores within CashReward like (Woolworths, Groupon, Rebel, eBay etc...)

If you are using OPAL card or buying grocery at Woolworths, you can purchase a Woolworth eGIFT card with 5% discount and use it to top up your OPAL card or when you buy your groceries (This is what I do)
-- Woolworth eGift Card is not a cashback but a direct DIRECT discount of 5% upon purchase.

Minimum eGift card value is $100, I only pay $95 (I purchase recently so I can top up my opal card)
--- eGift card voucher will be sent to your nominated email.

My tipid tips would be:

-for buying furniture or appliances, look at garage sales, gumtree or facebook marketplace. You get a lot of good quality products from there.
-for electricity or other utilities, ask around what packages they have and ask them to price match. Also, there are some companies that give a discount if you pay on time.
-for groceries, look at all the catalogues. Sometimes, you can even get it before the products go on sale. So if you know that the product you will be buying will be half price the week after, then hold off buying until then.

Cheers!

Are stoves and ovens in Australia commonly electric or gas? Mas mura po ba gumamit ng electric oven or gas oven? I'm kind of fond of baking/reheating food in the oven kasi (rather than microwave), so I'm considering my options for when I move to Sydney.

And saan po ok bumili ng laser printer and laptop? mas mura po ba sa mga actual stores or meron pwede pagbilhan online?

medyo OT:
@vhoythoy great pics! do you have online tutorials of some sort or websites you can recommend for amateurs/hobbyist?

@athelene in my experience, mas mura ang electric kesa gas. we were spending $700 per quarter nung electric/gas kami, but ngayon half or less than that na lang bill namin for family of three.

Madami pwede bilhan ng laser printer and laptop here, para sa akin mas mainam bumili sa store coz they offer freebies/discounts compare online.

athelene · April 2018

@agentKams I see. yung pricing po ba varies depending on location? Which area po kayo? And which stores po ang pwedeng pagbilhan ng laptop? Thanks!

agentKams · April 2018

@athelene regional qld kami, you mean tariff sa electricity ang gas? yes, iba iba per state.
for laptop dito samin, harvery norman, jb hifi, office works, the good guys. mas madami option sa sydney. I bought my laptop for use sa uni sa harvey norman. Free naman ang Office suite provided by the university na.

@athelene based on my experience and computations, mas magastos ang electric stove in the long run. and generally mas-magastos kung electric powered ang stove at water heater mo. before, we were using gas stove and gas water heater, bill was less than $400 quarterly including electricity. now, in our new place, puro electric powered. bill namin $700-800 quarterly including elec. that's sydney area near cbd.
