Harvey Norman

Pick up a Nespresso Inissia capsule coffee machine and get $60 cashback from Nespresso. That means the AU$198 price tag at Harvey Norman comes down to AU$138 -- only fractionally more than a knock-off machine, and better quality too.

JB Hi-Fi

For gamers: The Xbox 360 250GB console is bundled with Titanfall, Battlefield 4, Fifa 14, Halo 4, Tomb Raider (in the form of a download token) and an HDMI cable for AU$299. That's the standard price for a standalone console, but with plenty more games.

For audiophiles: Sol Republic Tracks headphones, complete with in-line mic and remote can be picked up for $100 off, now at AU$99.

For data hoarders: Western Digital's 3TB Hard Drive, complete with USB 3.0 connectivity, is just AU$138. Plenty of storage for your files, and at good transfer speeds.

Dick Smith

For PC lovers: Get 15 per cent off Samsung monitors for a limited time.
