Property mogul's shock $200k Costco-style Aus unit discounts
A savvy Aussie property richlister has shared how he's slashed unit purchase prices up to $200,000 less than bank valuations – opening up for everyday Aussies to cash in. The Costco-style bulk buying discount is revolutionising the housing investment market for Aussie buyers able to tap in, helping pool together a total buying price from as many as 10 people for unit buildings. 'Rotten egg' mystery grips coast, and it's not sewers Millennial homebuyer Eddie Dilleen, who have over 100 properties of his own, said he started making the offer to clients after finding his own buying power restricted. 'When entire existing complexes of townhouses, villas and unit blocks need to be sold in one line (one transaction) and I can't personally buy them all I bring clients into the deals.' 'I've been doing bulk buys for a while now over 4-plus years but lately it's been a lot more frequent,' he said. 'I got the idea when there was a strata titled block of 10 units. I personally wanted to buy the entire block but at the time I couldn't find a way to make the deal happen as I was buying too many other properties and my cash was tied up.' 'So I thought, wait a minute, these are individually titled. What if I brought other buyers into this deal and we all win together and make instant equity gains?' First home buyers and investors have been among those taking part in the deals, including a St Kilda bulk purchase in Melbourne and a Summer Hill bulk purchase in Sydney where each unit was bought for $200,000-plus less than bank valuation, he said. 'Two bedroom, one bath, one car units (Summer Hill), individually we got for $765k a piece and they were bank valued at $1m-plus prior to purchase. Comparable sales show sales between $920-$1.1m.' A Matraville bulk purchase in Sydney also saw each property come in $200,000 under bank value, he said. 'Two bedroom, two bath, one car unit individually for $677k a piece and they were bank valued at over $900k prior to purchase. Comparable sales show sales between $820-$1.1m.' In Queensland, a Zillmere Brisbane deal saw each property secured for $110,000-plus under bank value, he said. 'Two bedroom, one bath, one car unit individually we got for $422.5k a piece and they were bank valued at over $550k prior to purchase. Comparable sales show sales between $500-550k.' Govt pays $3.3m for unliveable derelict house Mr Dilleen said the method has seen buyers land discounts of up to 30 per cent on what banks value the property at, an incredible saving that has seen the initiative develop a large waiting list. 'We're absolutely overrun with clients who want to be a part of the bulk transaction discount method,' he said, adding 'where there was roughly 10 properties in one group buy, we often had 50-plus people want one of those so it was 5 to 1 ratio.' He believes the basic idea of 'buy in bulk and get a discount made it easy to digest'. 'Most of these deals have to settle simultaneously at the same time,' he said. 'It adds a level of complexity to the transaction as we have to ensure all buyers are able to settle without delay.' 'It requires more organisational work, and yes I'm on stand by myself – if buyers aren't able to settle then I personally have to be able to take over the purchase myself.' 'I also have to usually front up 5 per cent of the entire purchase price, for example the Summer Hill unit block was $11m total, and on the day of sale I had to front the 5 per cent $550k to secure the sale.' Mr Dilleen said the buyers agency clients pay his firm a fee of circa $25k for the service. 'Most have an immediate $200k instant equity within the deal, based of individual valuations,' he said. 'For example the $677k deal, 5 per cent deposit, stamp duty, buyers agency fee comes to less than $90k but they received $200k equity in return, essentially more than doubling their return on capital instantly'. His tips for anyone looking to get into such deals was to always be ready and get on waiting lists. Buyers need a 'minimum of about $100k savings or available equity', Mr Dilleen said. 'This strategy is extremely niche and people can't do this alone as it requires having unconditional buyers ready and the know how of how to legally structure the deal.'

Genuinely great value Amazon bulk buys you won't find cheaper anywhere – yes, we checked
If you enjoy shopping wisely, you probably already favour buying in bulk. Not only is it a great way to save money, but it is also very practical and clever, because if you ever realise you've run out of essentials like toilet roll, toothpaste, or body wash, there will be more in the cupboard so you're never caught short. Our go-to place for great value bulk buys? It's always Amazon, which has a wide range of exclusive multi-buys that you simply can't find anywhere else in your usual supermarket. And with Prime Day on the horizon (it starts on Tuesday, 8 June), there's never been a better time to restock your everyday household essentials, skincare favourites, snacks, and everything in between. Many of the early deals already live feature some of the cheapest prices we've seen so far this year, with big-name brands slashed in price, such as Nivea, Finish, Andrex and Colgate. While most bulk purchases might not be the most exciting products available, they are the kind of items that tend to increase in price and are essential to our daily lives. As a result, not only will your cupboards be full, but your bank balance will also thank you for grabbing one of these budget-friendly deals, freeing up some money for you to spend on hopefully something more exciting. To save you from sifting through hundreds of sale items, we've done the hard work and compiled the very best offers available, including price comparisons, so you can see how much money you're saving compared to shopping at other major retailers. Find everything from toothpaste and body wash to baby wipes and dishwasher tablets, all at a fraction of the price. Grab this twin pack of 83 dishwasher tablets (totalling 166 tablets) for a lot less on Amazon. For just one bag of 83, it usually costs £31 (though it is on sale right now for £12). 💰 Price comparison:At Ocado, one 83 pack is on offer for £13 reduced from £32, which is still more expensive than Amazon, while a pack of 120 tablets is £20 (down from £40). So, you can get 46 extra tablets for £2 more with this great value multipack. Toilet roll might not be the most exciting bargain, but there's no denying that bulk buying household essentials like this is a clever move. Not only will it save you money in the long term, but it will also prevent you from spending more on smaller packs at your local supermarket. 💰 Price comparison:At Asda (and most supermarkets) you'll find a four-pack of Andrex Gentle Clean Toilet Roll costs £2.48. You'd have to buy 11 packs to get 44 rolls, which adds up to a total of £27.28. Meanwhile, at Tesco, a pack of 24 Andrex Gentle Clean Toilet Tissue will cost you £11.75, so 48 rolls would cost you £23.50. To give a broader sense of bulk buying prices, Cheeky Panda's pack of 45 sustainable bamboo toilet rolls costs £32.50, while 48 rolls of Who Gives a Crap recycled toilet paper will set you back a massive £44. Amazon's also offering a solid saving on a massive 72-pack of Andrex - down from £37.50 to £27.42. It's a fab deal if you've got the storage space. Toothpaste can be very expensive, often costing up to £5 for a single tube. This offer provides six tubes of Colgate's best-selling Max Fresh Cooling Crystals Toothpaste at under £15 for six tubes. Shoppers say it's "good value for money" and "cost effective." 💰 Price comparison: Superdrug is selling a three-pack of this exact toothpaste for £9.99 (down from £15) – so for just a few pounds more, you can double the quantity from Amazon. Meanwhile, a single tube normally costs £3 at Boots and other retailers, while this multi-pack currently works out at just £2.40 per tube. Plus, it's super practical to have stocked up—especially if you have a family. This shea butter and vanilla scented body wash from Dove gently cleanses and deeply hydrates your skin, thanks to its nourishing formula. Shoppers say it leaves their skin "so soft" and is a "great deal." 💰 Price comparison: The only other retailer where you can purchase a six-pack is Debenhams, where it is much more costly at £18.99. This Amazon bulk buy works out at just £2 a bottle. At Boots you can also currently pick up individual bottles for £2 (reduced from £3). While at Ocado, a single bottle costs £3 (reduced from £4.50), so to buy six it would cost you £18. At Sainsbury's one bottle costs £4.50, which makes purchasing six a pricey £27. This pack includes 8 triple-layered kitchen rolls with 140 sheets per roll and features sheets that are 60% larger than standard kitchen roll sheets. They're excellent for soaking up spills and wiping surfaces, and if your household is anything like ours, they always run out quicker than you'd expect. 💰 Price comparison:At Sainsbury's and Morrisons, a single roll currently costs £3.50, so for eight packs you would need to spend £28. A three-pack alone would cost £7 at Ocado, so this deal offers a genuinely impressive saving. We've also spotted the same eight-pack price-matched at B&Q, but you'll have to pay for shipping - and you won't benefit from Amazon Prime's free and often next-day delivery. Scented with jojoba, vanilla, and almond oil, shoppers say this hand wash scent is 'long lasting and luxurious'. Its formula is also moisturising and gentle, making it perfect if you're aiming to replicate that hotel vibe. It comes in a pack of three and is available in various scents; however, this particular scent is the cheapest right now at £5.07, which works out at just £1.69 a bottle. 💰 Prime comparisonSainsbury's, Tesco and Boots are selling an individual bottle of this hand wash from Bayliss & Harding for £2.25 a bottle, so there's no denying this Amazon deal is epic value. This epic value pack of eight fabric conditioners is currently a bestseller on Amazon, boasting an impressive 82% five-star rating. It's infused with citrus and floral rose scents to keep your clothes soft and fresh-smelling after every wash. Shoppers agree it has a 'delightful scent and leaves laundry so soft,' while also helping to reduce wrinkles and make ironing easier. Customers also appreciate the large bottle size, with one noting it provides up to 100 washes. 💰 Price comparison: This Amazon saving works out to £1.98 a bottle. At Ocado and other retailers, a single bottle costs £2, so if you bought eight, it would cost £16. If you prefer you can also buy a massive 4.8L bottle of Comfort Fresh Blue Skies Fabric Conditioner - which provides up to 160 washes and sets you back £10.50. Amazon is a great place to shop if you're stocking up on food and drink ready to entertain this summer. This particular case of drinks lets you enjoy the classic, refreshing taste of Diet Coke, without the caffeine. 💰 Price comparison:Tesco currently offers the same deal but only for shoppers with a Clubcard (regular price £12). In comparison, Morrisons has it priced at £13.50, while Waitrose comes in slightly lower at £12. You can also purchase a 24-pack of Coca-Cola Original or Zero Sugar. It's always smart to keep a stash of batteries on hand - whether it's for emergencies or when an essential gadget (like the TV remote) suddenly dies. If you haven't explored Amazon Basics yet, it's well worth a look. Their products often offer better value than many leading brands. 💰 Price Comparison:A pack of 36 Duracell Plus AA Batteries now costs £23.99, down from £29.99. In comparison, a 24-pack of Energizer batteries costs £9, so this large 40-pack offers much better value. More Amazon Basic battery multi-packs are available, too, including 150 for £18.78, 200 for £23.94, and 300 for £34.29. Purchased over 30,000 times in the past month, these Fairy Non Bio Pods remove clothing stains and keep colours vibrant. Highly rated, shoppers say they're a "game-changer", "reliable" and offer a "reassuring clean" without harsh chemicals. You get a two-pack of 60 capsules each, which means you get 120 washes in total. 💰 Price comparison:A pack of just 44 capsules typically costs £13 at supermarkets, so you would need three packs to exceed 120 capsules, which would cost £39. At Ocado, you can find a pack of 108 pods for £23 (usually £27), while a pack of 100 at Tesco will set you back £23. Need to restock your hand wash stash? This set from Carex includes six bottles, costing just 98p each, which is very cost-efficient - especially if you always need a lot of antibacterial hand wash for a family and multiple bathrooms. Price comparison: At Ocado, Tesco and Sainsbury's, a single bottle of this Carex hand wash costs £1.50 – to match Amazon's offering of six bottles, it would set you back £9. For those who own a Flash Power Mop, this is a fantastic deal on the refill detergent used to keep your floors clean and sparkling. It includes four 1.25-litre bottles, with a fresh citrus scent that is sure to leave a lovely clean house fresh smell for ages. 💰 Price Comparison:A single bottle of this floor cleaner usually costs £4.30 at Ocado, £4 at Sainsbury's and Waitrose, and £3.84 at Asda – which means buying four bottles would cost a minimum of £15.36 (plus postage). If you have kids or grandkids, you'll know how quickly a pack of baby wipes can be used up, so this affordable bulk purchase, which includes a pack of four containing 240 wipes in total, will be very handy. 💰 Price comparison:This Amazon saving works out at £2.18 per pack. At Boots, the same four pack with 240 wipes will cost you £11, while at Superdrug, a single pack of 60 costs £2.99, so you'd need four packs, which total £12 (plus postage). This duo pack offers a highly-rated Olay day and night cream for under £15, making it a fantastic beauty bargain in our eyes. It's suitable for all skin types and will leave your complexion smoother, softer, and radiant - and our shopping writers really rate it. Your skincare routine covered in one go and at a bargain price. ✅ This item has been tried and tested by the Yahoo UK team - read our full review here. 💰 Price comparison:At Boots and Ocado, just the Olay Total Effects Day Cream SPF15 alone will cost you £16.50, while Superdrug will set you back £16.49. The night cream costs the same, so if you were to buy each separately, it would set you back £33, making this a super beauty bargain. Snack bars and protein bars are another smart buy in bulk—especially if you go through them quickly. Now is the perfect time to refresh your snack cupboard, with plenty of deals available from brands like Nakd, Grenade, Eat Natural, Trek, and more. That said, this Nature Valley bulk buy stands out as one of the most affordable options, giving you 18 bars of their delicious Crunchy Oats & Honey bars at a seriously budget-friendly price. 💰 Price comparison: Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Ocado are currently selling a pack of five for £2.50. To get to 18 bars, you would need to buy four packs for £10, so this Amazon deal is unbeatable. Over 20,000 shoppers have purchased this four-pack of Lucozade Energy Orange multiple times, and when you look at the value, it's easy to see why. 💰 Price comparison: At Tesco and Morrisons, the same 4-pack of Lucozade Energy Orange currently retails for £3.25. Meanwhile, a single bottle usually costs around £1.25 at most supermarkets—so this is a great-value deal if you're a Lucozade fan. This bundle of Nivea shower cream has been a popular buy with shoppers over the last month on Amazon, and for good reason – it costs just £3.60 for three, working out at just £1.20 a bottle. The formula is also enriched with Vitamin C and E for smooth, hydrated skin. 💰Price comparisonAt Boots, the same bottle of body wash is marginally more expensive at £1.30. However, Superdrug is selling it for £2.55, equating to £7.65 for three. You can find a similar deal to Amazon at Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco, where one bottle is also £1.20, but this doesn't take into account the free next-day delivery that Amazon offers if you're a Prime member. Alcohol bulk packs, from beer to Pimm's, are another smart buy to look out for on Amazon, especially if you're planning to stock up ahead of summer entertaining. Whether you're hosting BBQs, garden parties, or simply want to keep your drinks shelf well-stocked, now's a great time to grab some great-value multipacks while they're on offer. 💰Price comparison:At Morrisons, the same pack costs £19, while at Tesco it is £17.99. Currently, you can get it at ASDA for the reduced price of £14.

5 Reasons You Should Cancel Your Sam's Club Membership
If you've ever found yourself wandering the aisles of Sam's Club, convincing yourself you definitely need a 36-pack of muffins and a gallon of pickles, you're not alone. Read Next: For You: But while the bulk-buying thrill is real, there comes a time when you might start wondering if that membership fee is actually worth it. Especially at a time when people are dealing with economic uncertainty. Whether you're trying to cut costs or just tired of storing enough toilet paper to survive the apocalypse, here are some reasons you might want to say goodbye to your Sam's Club card. Jasmine Charbonier, owner of Your Tampa Bestie, canceled her Sam's Club membership after realizing she was wasting $100+ annually for the privilege of spending more money. 'That membership fee really adds up — especially when you factor in the pressure to 'get your money's worth' by buying more than you need.' Brandon Hardiman, owner of Yellowhammer Home Buyers, equally noted that the annual membership charge becomes fiscally unsustainable when you consider driving distance and shopping frequency behaviors that most members don't account for. 'The distance to my nearest club was a huge factor,' said Charbonier. 'When you're driving 45 minutes each way, those 'savings' get eaten up by gas costs.' Plus, the time investment of making special trips instead of quick runs to local stores wasn't worth it for her. She saved around $300 just by shopping at nearby grocery stores. Hardiman also calculated that driving 45 minutes to and from her neighborhood Sam's Club, and throwing in the $110 annual membership charge, meant that she needed to save at least $15 per trip just to cover her costs. Here's something most people don't consider, said Charbonier: Bulk buying isn't always cheaper. 'I noticed items like paper products and cleaning supplies were sometimes more expensive per unit than catching sales at regular stores.' And she noted that those massive packages — they're terrible for small households. 'I wasted so much food trying to use up bulk perishables before they spoiled.' Those 'special deals' and limited-time offers create artificial urgency, said Charbonier. 'I'd grab things I didn't need just because the price seemed good.' After tracking her spending, she realized she was overspending by $150-200 each month on impulse bulk purchases. 'Those giant packages need somewhere to go,' said Charbonier. She had to buy extra storage containers and clear precious cabinet space. Some items even ended up in her garage, where they got forgotten. 'What's the point of 'saving' money on bulk items you can't properly store or use.'

Costco's cheaper priced butter brings in crowds
But people across the motu have been travelling to Auckland's Northwest to wait in line for something a little bit more unconventional: butter. The bargain butter at Auckland's Costco is bringing in the crowds to buy it in bulk. Some are even resorting to sleeping overnight outside because it is half the price of getting it from the supermarkets. The supermarket price is up to $11 for half a kilo - whereas Costco's butter is just under $10 kilo. Bella Craig reports. Dave O'Brien, co-owner of Bellbird Bakery in Christchurch spoke to Lisa Owen.
