How we pick

Affiliate disclosure: We don't have any affiliate links yet. When we do, we'll label every one and we may earn a commission when you buy through it. It won't change the price you pay.

Plenty of "deals" aren't. Here's how we go about it, so you can judge us for yourself.

What we look for

When we add picks, we'll look for ones that suit everyday Aussies: good value for what you get, clear terms, and a retailer or service you can reach if something goes wrong. We write about what to check before you buy, and we'll explain why each pick made the list.

How we check

We check what we can. Anything we can't confirm is left out or marked as unconfirmed.

  • Facts come from the source. We check them against the retailer's, airline's or provider's own site, or an official source such as a government agency. Where a guide relies on an official source, we link to it.
  • We don't list prices in guides. They change and can differ by state, so we send you to the retailer's own site for the current price where you live.
  • When we add deals, each one will carry a "Last checked" time in Melbourne time. A fare we haven't rechecked within 24 hours will be marked "Unverified", and one that has ended will be marked "Expired".
  • "Was" prices have to be real. When we show deals, a "was" price will only appear if the item was genuinely sold at that price for a reasonable recent period.
  • We work to PoTaytoHead's rules. We write to consumer law, disclosure and advertising rules. PoTaytoHead sets the rules, spot-checks our picks and stays hands-on to make sure any deals are a good fit.

What we don't claim

We don't say we've tested or used a product unless we actually have. We don't make health or results claims, and we don't use paid testimonials. Our mental health pages are information only and carry no affiliate links.

How we're paid

We don't have any affiliate links yet. When we do, we'll label every one and we may earn a commission when you buy through it. It won't change the price you pay. We don't take payment to change what we say about a pick. If we ever run sponsored content, it will be labelled "Sponsored" at the top. The details are on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

What might be missing

Once we have affiliate links, we'll only be able to link to retailers and services we can reach through an affiliate programme, so some good options may not appear. We'll say so where it matters, and we'll still mention a good option when we can, even without a link.

What we leave out

We keep to our sections: home, garden and pets, travel, family and grocery, online services and wellbeing. We don't feature financial products, and we don't cover electronics, appliances or gadgets.
