Below, Best Picks does the hard work and reveals the biggest and best deals in each category — from tech to homewares and womenswear.
You’re welcome.
Homewares deals
Top of the homewares deals list has to be the epic Greenpan deal on three frypans, reduced from $249.99 to just $119 for the duration of the weekend.
Shoppers who have invested in the Greenpan range before have raved about the quality, and the pans have an impressive 4.7 star rating on the Myer website.
Elsewhere, Nutribullet 900W Blenders are flying off the shelves, after they have been slashed in price from $119 to $89.95.
If a healthy diet is one of your key goals for spring, the Nutribullet is a fantastic place to start — with its ability to whip up healthy juices and smoothies at the touch of a button.
Others are loving the Ninja Slushi Professional Frozen Drink Maker (currently $499 from $549.99), which is the perfect gift for kids and adults alike.
Dyson’s epic stick vacuums are on deal, including the V8 which is down to $499 from $799.
And finally, the most popular Myer buy of all — the Shark Steam Mop — is currently just $119 instead of $199.99, an epic 40 per cent saving.
The mop promises to effortlessly clean and sanitise with just water, removing grease and grime with no chemicals or residue.
Tech deals
Next up, there are thousands of great tech buys that have been reduced on Myer’s website.
Highlights include the Sony Noise-Cancelling Headphones, down to $466.65 from $549, and the “super effective” Garmin Vivoactive 5 Smartwatch, down to $399 from $499.
Walking treadmills are all the rage right now, and the Everfit Under Desk Option is down to just $248.95 from $307.95.
Those who want a pair in-earbuds for their commute to work or workouts could do worse than invest in Bose’s 4.3-star-rated QuietComfort In Earbuds, down to $382.46 from $449.95.
Online, shoppers have described them as “fantastic” and a “great product”.

The Myer “Super Weekend” sale is a great time to stock up on all your favourite and much-needed beauty essentials.
My picks include the Coco and Eve Summer Bronzing Kit for everything you need for a just-back-from-Europe glow, which is down to $60 from $80.
I’ve also spotted Cosrx’s best-selling Retinol on sale for just $45.60 instead of $57.
In the past, thousands of shoppers have described this retinol as their “go-to” in a crowded field of options.

Last but not least, there are some good travel deals on suitcases, bags and accessories.
The pick of the bunch has to be the Samsonite Leather Backpack, down to just $179.40 from $299, which marks the perfect Father’s Day gift.
I also like the Kadi Long Weekend Bag, which is nearly half price at $122.50 and the Pierre Cadin Computer Bag (currently $260).
