EOFY stands for ‘End of Financial Year’, and refers to when businesses traditionally close off the financial year, with the last day of the financial year usually falling on June 30. However, in consumer circles, EOFY generally refers to a sales period as businesses try and sell remaining stock and increase profits in the closing days of the financial year.
June 30 is the traditional end of the financial year, with the financial year traditionally operating from July 1 to June 30.
Nothing is off-limits in EOFY sales. Canstar Blue has kept track of the best EOFY sales in appliances, phones, TVs, tech gadgets, homewares, and apparel. But, these are just some of the most popular items generally up for grabs at bargain prices around this time of year. Car dealerships also tend to have the best EOFY car sales on new and used vehicles at this time of year.
Whether you’re looking to buy a new TV, washing machine, or an SUV, the EOFY sales time might be a good time to splash some cash and save a packet. But it’s important not to rush into any impulse buys, according to Canstar Blue’s Site Editor, Dean Heckscher.
“It’s only a good deal if you genuinely need the item,” he said. “It’s easy to get caught up in all the flashy signs and pop-up advertisements – but it’s no good if you’re simply spending money on things you didn’t intend to buy in the first place.
“To keep your bank account in check, look at multiple websites, explore what each retailer has to offer, and don’t settle for anything less than an absolute bargain! And importantly, treat all those 50% or more off signs with a pinch of salt. Instinctively, you’ll know if you’re really getting a great deal or not. If you’re not sure, do some online research and see how much that particular item normally sells for.”
There are plenty of retailers ready to slash their prices this end of financial year. Here’s a list of retailers and brands that typically cut prices at this time of year:
There’s no official start time for EOFY sales, with each brand and store deciding when to slash prices, but EOFY sales can start anytime from the last week of May to days before June 30 to give shoppers time to look into what bargains are available.
There’s no official end date for EOFY sales, although most brands and stores will finish at midnight on June 30 to close out the financial year. However, it’s not uncommon for sales to extend into the first few weeks of July, so be sure to keep an eye out in case you spot some good deals!
