How to save THOUSANDS on your next shop: The 'genius' AI trick everyone needs to know about
Aussie shoppers are losing it over a 'genius' money-saving trick that could help you thousands at checkout.
Nova 96.9 presenter Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli revealed the simple hack during a recent segment on Fitzy & Wippa with Kate, explaining how he used AI to score a discount on an online order.
'Can I tell you what I did the other day? And it's a tip that we got on this show,' Wippa began, before launching into the trick that left his co-hosts stunned.
While online shopping, Wippa said he was just about to complete his order when he spotted the 'coupon' prompt at checkout.
Instead of skipping over it like many do, he turned to ChatGPT and asked it to look for active discount codes for the site he was shopping on.
'I went on ChatGPT and said, "Please search for any coupons that could be attached to the website",' he explained.
'It actually worked, I felt like a bit of a scammer... The software fired back five of them (discount codes) - there's always a 'Welcome10' or a 'Thanks15'. I got 15 per cent off my Labubu doll.'
His co-host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald was amazed by the discovery, saying: 'That is unbelievable' to which Wippa responded, 'Easy savings, guys.'

The best part? The entire process took just seconds and cost him nothing.
The AI-generated codes worked instantly, allowing Wippa to pocket a discount he would have otherwise missed.
'The AI Hack that could save you THOUSANDS,' the radio station said in its caption.
While coupon browser extensions like Honey have been around for years, using AI tools like ChatGPT to search for codes on demand is a fresh, user-driven feature that's quickly catching on with savvy shoppers.
Social media users have since called the tip a 'game-changer,' with many now trying it for everything from groceries and gifts to clothing and tech.
'I do this all the time,' one confessed.
With the cost of living continuing to bite, it's a timely reminder that a few keystrokes - and a little AI assistance - could lead to some seriously savings.
So next time you're about to check out, don't skip the coupon box - your wallet will thank you.

Aussie stylist Chris Kontos brutally slams Kim Kardashian's daring look at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding bash
An Australian stylist has weighed in on Kim Kardashian 's bold fashion choice at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's lavish Italian wedding celebration - and he didn't hold back. Chris Kontos, an outspoken creative, shared a video to his Instagram on Saturday critiquing Kim's daring gown, which she showed off while arriving via boat to the star-studded event in Venice over the weekend. In the clip, Kontos declared: 'All right. I have to say it - Kim needs to move on from the Balenciaga era. Like, Demna is in an exhibition - it's done. When something's exhibited, it means it's the end. It's like a period in time. We're reflecting.' 'Doesn't mean Rick Owens is dead in vibe - just putting it out there - he's still gonna deliver f**k-off vibes forever. But Kim?' Referring to the bride, Kontos continued with a swipe: 'Do you reckon she's trying to get the attention away from that woman that's getting married - whatever her name is?' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, s ubscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The high-profile stylist, who has worked across Australia's fashion and retail industries for over two decades, went on to suggest Kardashian should embrace her own brand collaborations instead. 'Maybe she should wear some of that collaboration she did with SKIMS and Cavalli -because that fits the vibe.' While clearly unimpressed by Kim's dark, glistening form-fitting gown, Kontos did offer some praise for her famous family. 'I mean, Kris looks amazing and Kylie's delivering rose vibes anyway,' he noted. As the former Creative Director for Adelaide Fashion Festival and founder of Chris Kontos Creative, the seasoned fashion insider has built a name for bold opinions and rebranding iconic labels. His portfolio includes work with Harris Scarfe, Acler, Rundle Mall, and Jac + Mooki. Kontos has also mentored emerging designers, worked with influencers and media at national fashion events. Meanwhile, Kim turned heads at Bezos' extravagant celebration in a glittering, body-hugging black dress with a plunging neckline, styled with layered diamond jewellery and her signature sleek hair. She was seen being assisted off a boat while flanked by security as she made her glamorous entrance. The Amazon founder and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez tied the knot in front of 200 high-profile guests on the private island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. The A-list guest list included Oprah Winfrey, Barbra Streisand, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bill Gates. Bezos and Sanchez's wedding weekend has captured global headlines. The wedding has gone viral, not only for its VIP guest list but also for its opulent setting, with guests ferried across the Venetian lagoon via private boats, indulging in Michelin-starred cuisine and designer fashion.

The moment I knew: I declined his proposal, then something clicked
It was the day before my 25th birthday in 2005. I was living alone in a flat in Sydney and getting ready for a friend of a friend's 30th that night. I wanted to look vengefully hot for the occasion – someone who had dumped me was going to be there. But later that night I forgot all about my ex. As I was sitting in the back garden at the party, making balloon animals, I looked up and saw a man wearing a bright blue floral 80s outfit – a dress and matching jacket – with fishnet stockings and a floppy hat. It was a circus freaks-themed party and he was one of only a handful of other guests who had dressed up, the only Bearded Lady among us. His humour and confidence glowed as brightly as his pearl choker and matching clip-on earrings. I instantly sensed a strong connection. Drew and I followed each other around all evening, trying not to let the other realise it. A few days later I sent him some pictures from the party and we wasted an entire week of our respective employers' time emailing all day every day, each trying to flirtatiously out-funny the other. Finally, I asked him out for a drink. We started dating and suddenly we'd been together for eight months. Before our first Christmas as a couple, I got wind that he was planning to buy me a kitten. Feeling headstrong about my independence, I gazumped him by buying a kitten for myself. I wasn't ready to share a pet. We slotted easily into each other's lives, sharing eclectic circles of friends, love for our close families and travel. After a year, he moved from the Central Coast to be closer to me in Sydney; after two, he moved into the flat with me and my cat. Three years later, alone on a beach in Borneo except for the three men fixing a generator just behind us, Drew proposed to me. I was taken aback. I didn't feel ready to settle down and I said no immediately. 'I'm not ready,' I uttered. Drew simply kissed me and said: 'I'll wait until you are.' When he said that, something clicked. I realised that whether I was ready was immaterial. I'd never felt ready for anything I've done that was exciting and wonderful and worthwhile. I was ready to not let that stop me. After a few moments I said yes. It was the best decision I've ever made. We got married in 2009. We've faced many challenges since – the terminal illness and death of Drew's father, fertility hurdles, the births of two babies who could stay awake for Australia, postpartum depression, and much more – and Drew has been exactly the right balance of strong, brave, funny, sad, vulnerable, supportive, clever, kind and loving. With Drew as my champion, I said yes to a whole lot more in life too, including writing my first book. In return, it has been the best thing ever to watch as he has thrived in his own life, as an artist. Seeing Drew's work on gallery walls and in people's homes thrills me every time, and there's no one who deserves it more. As for my kitten, Gusto, she's about to turn 20. Our now-shared cat has always, quite rightly, loved Drew the most.
