7. Don’t buy anything straight away. Leave it in your cart for a week (as long as you’ve got as far as putting in an email address).

9. A certain service station/fuel company in Australia has a phone app that lets you lock in the price of fuel at your closest fuel station for a week. People have ‘found various ways’ to lock in the price of fuel at any of their stores in Australia (against the TOS), giving you huge discounts if your local fuel servos are expensive/at the top of the cycle. Eg. If the fuel in Brisbane is $1.70 and it’s $1.20 in Melbourne. You’d pay as if you’re in Melbourne, saving you 50c/L.
