PayPal Australia has launched a national competition asking Aussies to show off online bargains they've found using Honey, PayPal's deal-finding shopping tool. 

This follows research released by Honey last week, showing Aussies spend about 20 million hours bargain hunting each week and prefer a partner who is skilled at finding bargains. 

The competition kicks off at 10am AEST Monday 8 March, with three $500 prizes awarded each week for four weeks, closing 11.59pm AEST on Friday 2 April. 

Whether Honey helped you knock $250 off the price of a new outfit or shave 10% off your annual chocolate egg spend, we want to see your wins.

To enter just share a photo including the deal you found with Honey in an Instagram newsfeed post or story and tag both @PayPalAU and #SaveMoneyWithHoney, making sure you're following @PayPalAU. 

Honey can be downloaded in seconds at joinhoney.com and joined for free with your existing PayPal account. Once installed, Honey can automatically search the internet for some of the best deals and discount codes online and apply any it finds to your cart at checkout. Members can also earn rewards on eligible purchases through the Honey Gold program, redeeming Gold for gift cards at some of your favourite stores.

PayPal’s Consumer Shopping Expert, Jess Rix, said Honey was one of the key online shopping life hacks she recommends to friends and families.

“It really is a no-brainer for me. Honey is quick, easy and free to join, and searches for discounts automatically without changing the way you shop online,” Ms Rix said.

“The research showed that Aussies love the feeling of scoring a bargain, but few actually search for one every time they shop. Honey can effortlessly level up your savvy shopping skills while saving the time it would take to search yourself. If becoming a better bargain hunter makes you more attractive to a prospective partner, that sounds like a win-win to me.”    

Competition Judging Criteria

Entries will be judged by a panel of PayPal Australia employees against the following criteria:

• Overall quality of the photo clarity, colour, lighting, exposure and focus, composition
