So Iâve ended up with a gift card to one of my mot hated shopping places.
David Jones.
Overpriced and almost nothing that interests me there.
One possible thing I could do is use it to buy a laptop bag or am I better off spending my own money and claiming it as a tax deduction?

Wait for sales and buy a gift. I got my friend a $110 chopping board for $50 during a sale. Meanwhile myself I use a $3 tiny plastic thing
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Hmm I rather buy 100 dollars of kippers if I could.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
đ€Ł my breakfast today was two tins of kippers topped with lemon juice, hot sauce and pepper.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
I havenât touched the kippers I bought yet.
I was thinking of throwing them into pasta sauce and eating with pasta.

Youâve reminded me I could do with some tinned fish for late week dinners this week. As long as itâs not stiflingly hot and I can air the kitchen out.

I got a $100 one and bought a bottle of gin.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Ooohh booze. Might have to look into that.

For whatever itâs worth, I bought my iPad at David Jones 3 years ago. At the time, stock was very limited - with a 2-week wait time even at the Apple Store. But because nobody thought of David Jones as an Apple seller, they had stock. They charged the same price for Apple stuff as everyone else.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Iâve only got a gift card for 100 so that limits what I can spend there.
Also they donât sell apple products there anymore.
Nath@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Does David Jones sell gift cards? Can you use your David Jones gift card to by a better gift card? đ
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Iâll have to look into it.
I havenât tried that at David Jones before but have been refused at Woolies and Jb hifi recently.

Can your employer provide a laptop bag? It wonât hurt to ask. Then the gift card is all yours. Prices are the same as Myer, there no difference between them compared to how it used to be years ago. There will be good sales for Boxing Day, so you can maximise the gift card. Some plush towels? Any kitchen items you need?
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšdaysâ© ago
I might try asking about that, didnât think about that to be honest.
I donât really know what I need or want from DJ. Thereâs like random things that pop into my head like a new mattress protector or a cotton blanket or coffee related items but itâs a hard one.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Got an appliance youâve been pondering? It might have just gotten $100 cheaper for you
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšdaysâ© ago
Not at the moment, bigger airfryer sometimes plays into my mind or a better toaster since mine is halfway not working.
Taleya@aussie.zone âš4â© âšdaysâ© ago
Toaster time! Get a reaaaaal fancy one that does baguettes and shit
Duenan@aussie.zone âš4â© âšdaysâ© ago
Hmm I donât know about that at the moment, I only really need a toaster oven type thing.
Had a convection one but the fan shorted out so itâs not as good now.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Can you use it to shop online?
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Yeah, from the David Jones website I assume.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Use it like that. I canât stand going into DJ, as the staff is very up themselves.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš5â© âšdaysâ© ago
Thatâs fair enough. I canât really stand going there as well.
