The 2444 is available here in NZ at Bunnings among others for as little as $8. I believe they are a rebranded Mora Companion F. Great knifes for the price.

Woolies has 4 packs of Energizer Lithium AA and AAA for $15. Usually $21, and I rarely find these on sale anywhere. Sale likely ends tomorrow (Tuesday) as new sales usually come out on Wednesdays.

Bought a set to keep spares in my truck.

Thats a really good price, Bunnings in Aus doesn’t have any Bahco products.

They are a rebranded mora companion actually,u are correct!

Harvey Norman has Maglite 3D LED Flashlights for $20+ delivery (seems to be $10)

In the past I was keen on D cell torches but not nowdays as I prefer smaller torches iwth LiIOns. This may appear to some

This may be old news for some, but I just discovered that RS-Online offer free delivery for web orders.

Back on, $14.99 for 4 packs of AA, probably AAA too.

With our dollar being so weak now, what have you guys been buying? Everything “budget” is getting pushed up just that little bit to make it un-budget.

Pretty much stuff-all, apart from some OSHPark boards, & components from RS.

I have to comment again about the service from RS-online; I had placed one order for a bunch of driver components, a couple of which were not in stock (listed as 3-4 days to get in).

They split the order, & EACH package (of which there were three) was sent via either TOLL or Couriers Sleaze, arriving within 1-2 days from being sent. I was not expecting a courier service for free delivery, especially on a few bucks worth of components!

Not a lot here either. Even the group buy lights that were cheap are getting more expensive every day.

Couriers are odd, RS might have an arrangement where prices are a fixed annual fee. One of delivery clients get the shaft, while regular account holders can get very reasonable pricing.

Yea I’m sure they will have a contract with couriers. Although it’ll cost us $15 to send it, RS is pumping through hundreds of deliveries per day with them and have probably negotiated some miniscule cost.

I haven’t bought anything for a year or so! Just still browsing here and there though. Nothing really that exciting lately!

Only necessaties, such as the A6 GB!!

The $25.00 US for this light showed on my bank account $34 something. The dollar is still slowly dropping. I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped a lot more.

I noticed my order of the A6 also came out to about $34 which highlighted how poor the Aussie dollar is at the moment. It’s been worse, but also better too. I tend not to buy any torches that are $US30+ for that reason. One exception is the Convoy X3 I purchased recently, this was thanks in part to a Lightscastle $15 credit I won in another thread.

I just bought 4 x 30Q batteries with MM's coupon from BG for $25.20 Aussie. I thought that was a good deal in todays market.

The wifes going to hit the roof with how much the BLF comp light build is costing when we have a big bill on the credit card from my US trip still to pay of.

All my life the $AU fluctuates between US$0.60 and US$0.80 in normal times. This is the range where its meant to be, at times it can be a tad under US$0.50, but its rarely above US$0.90 (until recently). The reality now is not that the AU is doing badly, its actually the US$ is recovering. The reason we hit parity, even surpassed it wasnt due to an exceptionally strong $AU, it was largely due to a weak $US.

I’ll be getting those batteries too mate, was a new BG coupon code made? Can you post it here or PM me the code? Might get 8

Heres the link to MM's thread.
