1365894 2014-01-27 08:26:00 I know how you all feel.

I went into Warehouse staitonary today to buy a small plastic thingy.

I saw many different printers and multi-functions for $39 or $59

How the hell can the make them for that and ship them here, and stack them up and pay some bimbo to scan them at the check out.

Is it worth them selling them ?

A bottle of whiskey costs that much !

No wonder the whole world is talking about deflation !

No wonder nothing sells on TM these days.

Pity house prices did not go down as well.

Oh and mobile phones for $29.00

Yes, because they charge you through the nose for ink. ;)

Often to the point where it's cheaper to buy a new printer...

Not me, I get mine refilled and use a Laser printer for black and white.

I'll say :) SWMBO put some stuff on a while back, to big to go in the back of the car to the dump, and went right away. Some of the things that get given away :horrified and people take it.

I think it was $1. (2) was DSE did a promotion, we match your top up vouches for a for a credit placed on a phone of your choice. (3) Skinny's Christmas promotion - free phone with certain top ups.
