The week is for work and the weekend for play, so get out and frolic while the burdens of life are temporarily forgotten. 

Have a surf, climb a cliff, throw a ball or just walk to the shops – you can capture your adventures with some massive savings on a range of action cameras and drones, and then edit your masterpiece on a bargain Surface Pro 4.

Or set up complete Wi-Fi coverage in your home, then enjoy a game or two on a 34-inch curved monitor.

• Fitbit Alta HR: This is one lucky find. Thanks to a print error in Big W’s Easter catalogue (which advertised the original Fitbit Alta for $129, but pictured the Alta HR), and because it was spotted over at OzBargain, Big W is selling FitBit’s newest band for $50 off the RRP of $248, dropping the price down to just $198 (that’s a bit more than 20% off). We can’t see this deal on Big W’s site (at least not yet), so you’ll likely need to head in store if you want to pick one up. This offer is valid from 13 April to 17 April, but you might want to hurry to your local Big W before they run out of stock.

Deals added Monday, 10 April and still available

• Hisense 55-inch 4K UHD smart TV: Smart TVs above 55-inches are becoming more and more popular, but most of these huge-size models carry a hefty price tag. But if you’re looking for something that won’t burn a massive hole in your pocket, then JB Hi-Fi has a 55-inch option from Hisense that could be just right for you. This affordable 55-inch telly comes sporting a 4K Ultra HD resolution and apps that’ll let you stream your favourite movies and TV shows, and under the hood it’s powered by dual-band wireless and a quad-core GPU. It retails for $998, but it’s on sale for $798, saving you $200.
• Samsung 78-inch 4K UHD HDR smart TV: If the 55-inch smart TV isn’t big enough for you and you have the space (and spare change) to lay your hands a whopper of a telly, then the 78-inch Samsung smart TV could be it. This curved beauty from the South Korean manufacturer, promises great picture quality even from non-UHD videos with UHD upscaling. And even though this massive TV comes with an equally massive price tag of $5,996, you can save yourself $2,000 by getting it on sale at JB Hi-Fi for $3,996.

• Samsung Galaxy S7: With Samsung’s latest flagship available for pre-order, it’s only natural that the prices of the Galaxy S7s will begin to drop, but perhaps not by such a huge margin as Kogan is currently offering. You can now get this 32GB Android smartphone, which is still one of the best phones on the market, for as low as $599, making this premium device a budget option. It’s a steal at nearly half price, saving you a huge $549 on the RRP. But you might want to hurry, as the black models are already out of stock, with only the gold and silver ones still available.
• Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: If you want a smartphone that has an edge over the others (yes, pun intended), then the Galaxy S7 Edge is one heck of a phone. And, like the Galaxy S7, Kogan is offering a massive price drop on this device as well. The black, gold and silver models of this 32GB smartphone are now available for just $699, saving you $516 on the RRP of $1,215.
• Apple iPhone 7: Prefer iOS over Android? Well, Kogan can save you money on Apple’s latest flagship phones, too. You don’t need to shell out $1,079 for the 32GB model of the iPhone 7 as you can lay your hands on it for $879, or alternatively pay just $999 for the 128GB version. They’re also available in all colours (except the new red option) – Jet Black, Black, Rose Gold, Gold and Silver.
• Apple iPhone 6 and 6s: For some, the iPhone 7 wasn’t the upgrade they thought it would be, making the iPhone 6s comparable to Apple’s latest offering in many areas. So if you’d like to get a new smartphone with the Apple name on it for less, then the 6s is still a darn good phone. And you can save $200 on the 16GB model (available in only Space Grey and Silver) by getting it from Kogan for $699.
• Apple iPhone SE: Apple decided to compete in the mid-range smartphone market and came out with the iPhone SE – a palm-friendly yet brilliant phone that won’t bust the bank when you buy it outright. And with prices starting at $519 for the 16GB model, this phone got a bit cheaper on Kogan as well, saving you up to $116.
• Samsung Tab A 10.1: Need a new tablet? The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 comes with a 10-inch screen running at a 1920 x 1200 resolution, as well as having a capable Exynos 7870 mid-range processor and 3GB of RAM packed inside – great for streaming videos and being entertained while on the go. Plus you can save $150 on this Android 6.0 Marshmallow-toting device by getting it from Kogan for just $299.
• Samsung Galaxy TabPRO S: On the other hand, if you need a tablet that can do a lot more than the above Samsung Tab A, then the 12-inch Samsung Galaxy TabPRO S running Windows 10 could be the answer. It features an AMOLED display, 128GB of storage and an Intel Core M processor. And better yet, you can save a whopping $650 on this device, as it’s on sale now at Kogan for $749, down from $1,399.
• Hisense 610L side-by-side frost-free fridge: The Hisense 610L side-by-side fridge not only looks good with its stainless steel finish, but features a water tank, adjustable spill-proof shelves and a modular wine caddy.
