AS THE COST OF LIVING continues to rise, it’s getting harder and harder to justify splurging on non-essentials. All that means, however, is that the best time to treat yourself is when there are savings to be made, courtesy of some unmissable sales. Afterpay Day has returned, with some of the biggest retailers in the country offering massive savings both online and in-store.
The importance of stocking up while the prices are low is even more apparent if you like to keep fit, because if we’re being completely honest, working out is expensive. A gym membership is a merciless strain on your bank account, equipment for a home gym doesn’t come cheap, and let’s not forget the requisite gear – i.e. workout clothes, running shoes, wearables, metrics trackers and recovery aids, which all come with hefty price tags.
Thankfully, there are plenty of discounted goods to be copped this week, with big-name brands slashing prices on everything from stylish pump covers to advanced tech that will change the way you workout. But why waste your precious time tirelessly scrolling from website to website searching for a deal that may not materialise? Allow us to put in the hard yards for you. We’ve narrowed down the best deals on offer and rounded them up for your convenience.
What is Afterpay Day?
It may only be a few years old, but Afterpay Day has become a much-anticipated event in the bargain hunter’s calendar. The sale, which happens twice a year, is run by Afterpay, the online service that allows customers to pay for purchases in instalments over six or eight weeks. During the sale period, retailers that use Afterpay offer discounts to customers to celebrate the period.
While Afterpay Day is a sale event directly affiliated with Afterpay, you don’t have to use their services to access the sales.
When does Afterpay Day 2025 begin?
Despite what its name suggests, Afterpay Day actually takes place over four days, beginning from 8am AEST on Thursday March 20th and running until Sunday March 23rd.
