EOFY Sales Guide

Securing some great deals at the End of Financial Year Sales, can be both thrilling and satisfying. To shop the sales like a pro pre-planning with a strong game plan will ensure you find what you’re after and have an enjoyable shopping experience. Ready to shop? Here are our top tips for shopping up a storm at the EOFY Sales. 

Make a Wishlist

Before you actually venture out of the house, make a list of things you need (or want, of course) so that you know where to head. Check out our OFFERS page to discover the stores offering the best value for money on that new scarf, piece of travel kit or extra quilt set that you’re after. It’s one thing to have the time to peruse the shops at leisure but chasing down wishlist items at 8pm on a Friday or before Sunday lunch demands a plan of action; knowing where you’re going (and for what) is key.

Keep it Comfy

You can clock up some serious mileage getting around the centre, and if you’re on a mission, getting a blister is the last thing you want. Rule number one: keep your feet happy while you’re hunting the sales by wearing comfortable shoes. And if you’re planning on trying things on, avoid wearing difficult layers: it’ll only slow you down. Remember, choose function over form when shopping on a mission.

Think Ahead For Special Occasions

Shopping during the sales takes the future stress out of last minute gift shopping & allows you to pick up something extra special. Scroll through your calendar and see if there are any birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, baby showers etc. coming up and sort your gift now for a great price. 

Stay Hydrated

This one might sound a bit obvious, but you know that nagging headache you usually get after a shopping spree? There’s a good chance that’s because you haven’t had a drop of water since leaving the house. Your body doesn’t know you’re at the shops and not at the gym; it’s just trying to remind you to replenish lost fluids. So when the feeling hits, make a beeline for your favourite in-centre café to hit the waters (and coffee, and cake). 

Look For Classic Wardrobe Pieces 

Keep an eye out for timeless wardrobe essentials during the sales as it’s a great opportunity to build your ideal wardrobe.  You’ll always find a use for a classic white blouse or t-shirt, a gorgeous print dress, or a classic pair of work pants. 

And don’t forget to shop for accessories, a classic clutch, carry all bag or pair of boots are versatile wardrobe pieces you’ll get good outfit mileage from. 

For the guys, the sales are a great chance to pick up some everyday workwear essentials for a great price. Looking for weekend-wear? T-shirts, shorts, jeans and classic knits will always be useful, and at sale prices you can pick up multiple colours in your favourite fits and mix and match. 

Plan A Shopping Break 

With over 50 dining options in centre, there’s plenty of options to choose from for a mid-shopping break. Make a pitstop at a café for a well earned break, a chance to regroup on your shopping list, and admire your finds so far with your loved ones.

Patience Pays

Shopping the sales can be overwhelming, and people can become short-tempered trying to bag a good deal. Spare a thought for the retail staff who may have already been asked the same question six times today. Remember: being patient and kind to hard-working retail staff equals good karma.

Refresh Your Homewares
