For Aussie Rules fans, the men’s footy season is done and dusted, and for Rugby League fans, the same will be true come Monday. This will leave many with free weekend time. If you’re not sure how to occupy yourself, the garden might be a great place to start. To kick you off, this week we’re highlighting some of the great deals in the Bunnings ‘Bring on Spring’ catalogue, released only yesterday.
We’ve also found some spring fashion deals at David Jones and some great grocery savings at IGA that will keep a spring in your step.
‘Bring on Spring’ with Bunnings
The weather’s warming up and there are sunny days ahead (in theory at least). It’s a great time to clear away some overgrowth and plant some seedlings, of the floral and/or vegetable variety.
Bunnings can help you with that through the first three weeks in October at a great price. Their range of colourful flowers is just $2 a pot, and assorted herbs even cheaper for only $1.98 per pot! And you can keep them well-watered with a quality Holman hose trigger and gun combo set for $9.98.
That’s three great specials on page 1 of the ‘Bring on Spring’ catalogue alone. Flick through the pages for many other great deals, including outdoor furniture and all of your barbecue needs. Take the Santo outdoor dining table, for example. At just $449, this will set you up for the summer.
There’s also a great range of barbecues, with a size to suit your backyard or courtyard. A new addition to the range is the ‘Ignite’ 4-burner, which features an integrated Bluetooth thermometer with two meat probes.
The catalogue also has plenty of great stuff for those looking to tackle DIY tasks at home.

David Jones
Spring is also a great time to reboot your fitness and fashion regimes. David Jones has some deals that will help you do just that without breaking the bank.
For women, the Converse Women’s Chuck Taylor All Star Rave Sneaker has been knocked down from $120 to just $69. Pair that with the Papinelle Super Soft Waffle Exposed Elastic Jogger – reduced to $29 from $54.95 – and you’re almost ready to roll.
On the fashion front, have a look at First MSE Marita Knit Midi Dress. This sleek looking number was $139.95 but is now $69.
And there are plenty of other options for women, too. You can have a look at the full range of David Jones specials for women here.
David Jones also has plenty of sale items for men. Be the snappiest looking bloke at your next function by donning the Tiger of Sweden two-button single-breasted Jerretts Blazer, marked down from $799 to $479. Or a stylish Swanndri Wolcott V2 linen blend long sleeve shirt for just $79, down from $119.99.

After all that hard work in the garden and shopping for fresh fashion and groceries you’ll have earned a drink. IGA can help you with that, too. A 30-can pack of XXXX Gold is just $53.
