Home Show Discounts

Home show discount final day shopping saved us hundreds of dollars on appliances at the Home Show! I went along to the annual Home Show with my husband. It was our first visit to the show, which happened to fall on the last day - more down to good luck than planning. We were on the lookout for a new washing machine as our old top loader washing machine was clearly falling apart - wrecking the clothes and costing us lots in water bills. We were dreaming about a new 'water wise' front loader and just wanted to check out the market. We found a friendly but tired sales assistant in the Betta Electrical stall and told her this was our first Home Show. She said we were clever to pick the afternoon it is better to go on the last days as they really drop prices to avoid trucking them back to the showrooms and that perhaps we'd like to remember that again next year for other items. It sounded suspiciously like the usual 'sales spiel' but the price was indeed very low from our limited price knowledge. When we checked the price against another electrical store at the Home Show, the same model was priced at $100 dearer! Our ideal washing machine was a genuine $200 below shop price. Guess who's saving up to stalk the Home Show and other stores at the end of this month for a new TV and a garden shed? Some companies offer Home Show discounts and specials, even if you don't buy at the Show, but purchase in-store within a certain period of time. Always ask for discounts in March!
