Video: 5 major rip-offs and how to avoid them
Don't fall for these obviously overpriced options.
Smart shoppers don't pay more than they have to. In the video above, I cover some of the more obvious rip-offs Australians can encounter, and (more importantly) the simple things you can do to avoid them.
This video features topics I write about regularly in Findings, including the best way to get value for your points, the price of Vegemite and the problem with Tim-Tams. It also highlights some less obvious areas where you can save a lot, such as car rental excess insurance and ATM fees. Enjoy!
