G'day all,
Don't want to be seen as plugging a store, but had to share something with you. Was looking at buying some jerry cans and had decided to get some good steel (Pro-Quip) and Black Rheem jerries (thanks to all the advice on this
forum).
AutoPro have the 20L steel Pro-Quip jerries on sale for $39.95 at the moment. Pretty cheap I thought. Printed their brochure off the net and marched on in to Bunnings. What do you know, 20L Pro-Quip jerries for $47.47.
I picked a couple up, walked to the service counter and asked them to price match. A quick chat with a supervisor and Smocky gets a couple of jerries for 10% less than the AutoPro "On Special" price i.e. $35.96. They were even polite about it and said "thanks for pointing that out to us sir, have a nice day".
Thought I'd pass that on in case anyone else was in the market for a couple of jerries.
Cheers,
Smocky.
P.S. Thanks again for all of the replies about what type of jerry cans to buy. With this and the Repco fridge, I've saved more than enough money to warrant joining up as a member.

Yep,
that is Bunnings' stated policy...
"If you find a stocked item at a cheaper price, we'll beat it by 10%"...
(or words to that effect)...
They work on the premise that (relatively) few people will actually take them up on it, therefore their marked prices are, as often as not, higher than the competition....
(some bargains to be had in there, nevertheless)...
Definitely pays to
shop around.. Good on ya!!
