The end of the financial year is not only tax time, but time for one of the biggest sale periods of the Australian year.
A lot of retailers use this opportunity to clear old stock at a discounted price, which is a great opportunity for shoppers to snap up big bargains.
It’s not just business-oriented products that get their prices reduced either. Whether you’re looking to buy a new phone, a new appliance for the kitchen, a whole new wardrobe or to treat yourself to some new beauty products, you’ll be able to find big discounts during the EOFY sales.
Which retailers have EOFY sales?
Most big Australian retailers (and even some of the smaller ones) hold EOFY sales in June.
2024 EOFY sales are still a fair few months away, which means that no retailers have announced that they are definitely having EOFY sales yet. However, to help with your planning, we’ve rounded up a list of the top retailers who offered incredible discounts last year, alongside some of the best individual deals we saw in 2023.
EOFY sale FAQs
When do the EOFY sales start?
While the official end of the Australian financial year is celebrated on June 30, this is not necessarily when EOFY sales start. The individual sale start dates are determined by each retailer, but you can generally expect sales to start popping up anywhere from early June.
To make sure you don’t miss out, we recommend keeping this page bookmarked so you can come back and find out more information closer to the end of the financial year.
What should I expect from EOFY sales?
During EOFY sales, shoppers can expect to see lots of retailers slash prices on a range of products.
Companies use the end of the financial year to shift older stock at a cheaper price to make way for new items. This means that you may find that the best deals are on older products, for example, TVs or phones that have since been replaced by newer models. However, this doesn’t mean that the sales aren’t worth shopping or that there aren’t great deals on newer products to be found.
Overall, customers can expect great sales and deals on all sorts of items during EOFY sales, from clothing, shoes, tech, homewares, beauty products and more.
How can you make the most of EOFY deals?
In order to make the most of the EOFY sales we suggest doing research ahead of time to make sure you’re prepared. This research includes checking websites like Getprice to find out which retailers are having sales and when they start - that way you won’t miss out.
We also suggest making a list of things you’d like to buy during the sales, so you know what you’re looking for. This will allow you to check product prices to see what an item normally sells for so you can spot real, good-value deals, and having a list can also help ensure you don’t get overexcited and blow your budget on things you don’t need.
When the sales start, to ensure you get the best deal, it’s also a good idea to compare the price of a product with the price advertised by other retailers to make sure you’re getting the best price possible.
