Why It Makes Cents To Upgrade At EOFY

The good news is, any university student who has had tax collected from their pay is eligible for a tax return. “In fact, if you’re working casually or part time around your studies, you could be in for a nice payday at tax time,” says Katie Cunningham, personal finance writer.

Of course, you don’t need a hefty tax return to take advantage of The Good Guys EOFY Deals. With big savings to be had on a range of products, it’s the best time of year to upgrade to your dream desktop computer or laptop.

How To Make The Most Of Our EOFY Deals

As any student at exam time knows, you can’t ace it on the day without putting in the prep. Here’s how to get yourself sales-ready and optimise those EOFY bargains.

Do Your Research

Set Your Budget

Having a clear budget will ensure you don’t spend beyond your limits and stay focussed on the products you really need. Ask yourself: What are my main EOFY goals? What are my priorities? What’s my spending limit?

Once you have your shopping list and budget sorted, you can do your research, tally up the prices of products you want, and arrive at a total dollar amount. It’s a good idea to overbudget for each item, so you don’t get caught out on the day. You might even find you have some cash left over to buy a little extra something you’ve had your eye on!
