Queensland shoppers spending big in the final days before Christmas

Bargain hunters can start salivating with major retailers already showcasing their Boxing Day sale items – including one outlet shaving 35 per cent off the price of a Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Shoppers will be able to start clicking away any time on Christmas Day with the sale starting online well before the stores physically open.

Big W has a mouth-watering catalogue of specials, with a Dyson V7 Animal origin being reduced from $699 to $449.

The discount department store also has also cut the price of a Vax from $238 to $167 and taken a $150 off the Dyson Ball Multi Floor which will now set you back $399.
