Is first, can you get away with secondhand?
And is it really cheap?
If it does need to be new, Pricespy.co.nz and Priceme.co.nz are good starting points.
Even if you want a specific brand, or model, you can still find who is selling it cheapest.
My brothers coffee machine died recently, we found a suitable one, and took a look. This time it turned out that Amazon Australia was cheapest. And yes, of course you take into account shipping. The US site no, not to mention power requirements, but the Aussie site works out sometimes.
And it was, quite a bit cheaper.
Most things we have got used. Clothes frequently, TV, we got a 46" Samsung for $50 off a guy going into a retirement home. Phones, same guy gave me a Sony A5, I am very happy with it. Free.
Used can be op shops, Trademe, garage sales, or occasionally a second hand shop.
