Saving Money on Bonds

Ah, good old Bonds the Aussie staple when it comes to baby, kids, casual and gym clothes, you can even pick up a Wondersuit in Woolies when you run in for the bread and milk.

Bonds is stocked pretty much everywhere! Of course, you can pick it up at the bonds store or bonds online but did you also know that you can head to their outlets and that the outlet is available online at bondsoutlet.com.au?

They are also stocked at Best and Less, Big W, Coles, David Jones, Harris Scarfe, Myer and Target.

To make things easy let's use the Zippy Wondersuit to compare as it's one of their most popular products.

But where can you get the best savings when it comes to bonds? I have put these in order of where I would shop 1st, after doing the research!

Aldi

Just going to put in a quick mention that earlier this year when Aldi had a baby special buy they had some Wondersuits, I can remember the exact price but I think it was around $14. But you nearly have to be at the store when they open. I popped into my local store at 10am and was only able to nab one suit and there were only a couple of girls suits left. 

Coles

Unfortunately, Coles don't stock them as much, as they prefer to sell their Mixed Apparel range. Which is pretty decent but we will get to that another time.


This post turned out to be way longer than expected, but the moral of the story is when shopping for Bonds is that you should always wait until they are a minimum of 40% off. Also if the limited edition stuff might work out cheaper from Big W or another store.

What do you think? Do you have any other hints or tips on saving money on Bonds?
What stores would you like to see next?

Until next time and remember that if you keep an eye on the cents the dollars will take care of them selfs!
