WHAT IS EOFY?
The end of financial year (EOFY) sales period in Australia is a shopping extravaganza that kicks off in the lead-up to June 30. It’s basically a giant clearance sale for businesses to offload stock before the new financial year begins on July 1.
While the official end date is June 30, some retailers get a head start with promotions beginning in late May. The best deals, however, are typically snagged in June. Individual sales lengths can vary, lasting anywhere from a single day to several weeks.
Expect to see steep discounts across a wide range of products, from TVs and appliances to clothing and furniture. Some stores might even advertise deals as high as 80 per cent off.
This is a golden opportunity for both consumers looking to score bargains and businesses aiming to clear out old inventory and potentially boost their financial performance before the new year.
HOW SHOULD YOU SHOP THE EOFY SALES?
Not all deals are created equal. Do your research and compare prices before you buy. Some stores might offer EOFY-specific deals on tax-deductible work-related items. The best deals often disappear quickly, so be prepared to act fast.
