when do end of year sales start Page 15

Ah, the sweet siren call of end-of-year sales—when retailers suddenly remember how to do discounts. In Australia, these sales typically kick off in late November, often coinciding with Black Friday madness. Expect the frenzy to continue through December, with Boxing Day sales (26th December) being the real pièce de résistance.

For cars, electronics, and pretty much everything else, the best bargains lurk around this chaotic period. Keep your eyes peeled on Tradingpost, CarShowroom, and the like to pounce on those deals like a cat on a laser pointer.
