Watch this: Retail deals of the week, 21 May 2014

Dick Smith

Return of the Mac deal: You can get 10 percent off Apple iMac and Macbook Pro models for a few more days.

Setting up the home theatre: A good mid-sized TV model, Samsung's 48-inch Full HD LED LCD TV is $200 off at Dick Smith, selling for AU$999.

Soundgarden: A lot of flat screen TVs don't have the space for solid speakers, so a soundbar can be a good addition. Dick Smith is knocking $150 off Pioneer's soundbar, selling it for AU$248.

JB Hi-Fi

The notebook: If you missed it last time around, you can still pick up a solid 15-inch Windows notebook from HP, with Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 750GB HDD, all for AU$996 (a saving of $200).

Building up a collection: If you purchase a Blu-ray player or home theatre system, you'll also be able to build your Blu-ray library with 50 percent off Blu-ray movies, music and TV shows at JB Hi-Fi.
