Sale CalendarSaturday 15 August 2026

EOFY SalesDate confirmed

290DAYS AWAY 1 June 2027 – 30 June 2027
June, ending 30 June

End of financial year: retailers clear stock before 30 June, and anything claimable as a work expense (laptops, tools, office gear) gets genuine tax-time pricing.

Being straight with you: Strongest for business-adjacent purchases and floor-stock whitegoods. The instant asset write-off makes June the right month for ABN holders — check current thresholds with your accountant, not with us.

BEFORE THE EVENT

Know the fair price first

The single best preparation for any sale event is knowing what a good price looks like before the banners go up. A “40% off” sticker on an inflated anchor price is worse value than a quiet 15% off an honest one.
