Kmart and Bunnings shoppers' $20 trick to save even more in Black Friday sales

Santa better start checking his list because Kmart has just dropped a preview of its 2024 Black Friday sale and there are plenty of Christmas bargains to be had. Homewares, tech, beauty buys and toys that let you go big without breaking the bank, are all part of this year’s Black Friday collection.

And it's not just Kmart getting in on the sales action, with plenty of brands in the fashion, appliance and home decor space offering deep discounts on cult products, too. Whether you're on the hunt for pants that will make you look and feel like a celebrity, a coffee subscription that will save you thousands of dollars each year, stunning jewellery that has sentimental meaning or some tableware that will make your festive entertaining utterly memorable, there is truly a deal for it all.

While most retailers offer discounts on their existing product range, Kmart’s already low prices don’t leave much margin for the eye-popping markdowns we’ve come to expect from a Black Friday sale. Instead, they’re celebrating the sales event with a special curated collection that includes a mix of limited-edition Anko items and discounts from other brands you wouldn’t normally find at Kmart.

This year, that includes a 32-inch electric guitar and amp for $99, an inflatable $69 backyard slide and pool set that will get no shortage of use over summer and a $59 rainbow light-up floor mirror that will be the envy of many a tween girl.

For those who have the space, there’s also a $249 Pilates reformer machine, which is an absolute bargain as they normally range in price from about $450 to $2,800, and this $399 inflatable spa which is perfect for a pop-up spa party.

Then there are the non-Kmart brand deals like this De’Longhi espresso machine for $99 instead of $235, and a Silicone LED face and neck mask which has been marked down to $155 from $489.

A Homedics massage gun makes a great gift for $39, down from $99.95, and Singer sewing machines are also on offer for $169 instead of the usual $299, for those who like to take fashion into their own hands. Refurbished iPhone 12s are also available for $469.

Bunnings and Kmart shoppers to save big on Black Friday

The Black Friday collection can be previewed in full from today and will be available to purchase in store and online from 8am on Thursday, November 28. OnePass members will have early access to the sale from 8pm to midnight on Wednesday, November 27, and the sale will run until December 1 or until stock sells out.

"OnePass is currently in the Black Friday sales for $20 for the year," says Aussie mum Brit Rogerson in a TikTok. "It is a really good investment especially if you're on a budget."

This is a 50% saving on the annual membership, which is usually $40.

"This OnePass gets you five times the Flybuys points when you shop and store or click and collect," she says in another video. "It gets you 365 days returns throughout the year. So you can literally buy something at the start of the year and return it before Christmas. And you can also get express click and collect and free delivery from most places, I think."

Other Black Friday deals

Aussies are expected to drop a whopping $6.7 billion over the Black Friday sales period with the cost of living crisis making this year’s sales a particularly big drawcard. Many consumers will be taking advantage of the discounts to do their Christmas shopping and to purchase big-ticket items, here we’ve listed a few other retailers with Black Friday sales worth exploring.

Jewellery

Lion Wild

Lion Wild has brought the friendship necklaces we know and love from our childhoods and given them a modern spin with their stunning pieces - like this Sunflower Necklace by Lion Wild, which has recreated the broken heart concept in a design that is both elegant and chic.

The necklaces are two semi-circle pendant necklaces that join together to make a circle that features a hand-drawn sunflower design and are so popular that they have sold out seven times this year.

They are also currently on sale, as a part of Black Friday, with the gold plated, silver or mixed metal options all 20 per cent off, along with a range of other meaningful and stunning jewellery items.

Home decor

Pillow Talk

Comfort Club members save 30% off site wide at Pillow Talk, which means you can stock up on your Christmas entertaining needs for less! The Sundays by Pillow Talk range is designed to elevate outdoor living, offering everything you need to unwind and enjoy the warmer weather.

Appliances

Big W

Appliances are being discounted at Big W this year with brands including Ninja, KitchenAid, Breville, iRobot and Tefal all included in the sale.

Breville’s Easy Air Purifier is half price bringing it down to $114, while there’s 40 percent off a Dyson V8 stick vacuum and 43 percent off a SodaStream.

If you've had your eye on a great TV to watch those Christmas flicks on, JB Hi-Fi has got you covered. There are great prices on big ticket tech with some LG and Samsung TVs being discounted by over $1,000, while Ecovacs are half price and Apple Watches are 25 percent off.

Aiper

For many Aussies, summer means endless pool time...and also endless pool cleaning. Save yourself the time (which would be better spent enjoying an Aperol Spritz or two) with Aiper's range of robot pool cleaners. The brand is offering 14-37% off its Scuba, Surfer and Seagull series so pool owners can save up to $500.

Lavazza

Coffee lovers know all to well how much buying a daily cup of coffee adds up to (spoiler: more than $2000!) so Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in your very own coffee machine. Lavazza is offering 30% sitewide (excluding Kits & Bundles) so you can save over $100 on one of the adorable Modo Mio Smeg machines to elevate both your caffeine fix and your kitchen aesthetic!
