At our Samford gym we plan everything in blocks. Three weeks, a clear goal for each, and no guessing about what comes next. So when Propel Health Australia set out their Black Friday sale in exactly that shape, I thought it was worth a note to members.
The three week block
- Week one, Monday 9 to Sunday 15 November: 10% off
- Week two, Monday 16 to Sunday 22 November: 15% off
- Week three, Monday 23 November to Cyber Monday 30 November: 20% off
The sale covers creatine monohydrate (standard and Batch-Tested), four collagen powders and castor oil. The discount comes off automatically at checkout and stacks on the 2, 3 and 4 pack prices.
Step one: take stock of the cupboard
Before you buy anything, check what you already have. A lot of our members keep a jar of creatine in their kit bag and another at home. Count the scoops left. If you will run out before 23 November, buy in week one or two rather than going without.
Step two: decide single or pack
If you use something every day, the pack price is the honest way to buy it. A creatine single is $39.95. A 4 Pack in week three is $101.56, which is about $25.39 a jar. For a member who uses a jar a month, that is four months sorted for roughly the price of two and a half singles.
Step three: plan the postage
Free standard post applies over $125. Below that, it is a flat $9. A creatine 4 Pack on its own in week three sits just under the line, so a lot of members add a second item. A 500ml castor oil is $30.80 in week three and takes the order to $132.36. Check your cart once the discount has come off.
Step four: book it in
Pick your week, put a reminder in your phone, and buy once. One order, dispatched in 1 to 3 business days, is far less hassle than three small orders through the month.
For the full list in one spot, the black friday supplement deals page lays out every product and every weekly price, so you can do your planning in five minutes before your next session.
A few ground rules
- No code needed
- It cannot be combined with other discount codes
- It ends at midnight on Cyber Monday, 30 November, Brisbane time
Treat it like any good block: know the plan, follow the plan, and do not panic buy on day one if the better week is coming. See you on the floor.
