IKEA have an amazing range of furniture and housewares. Their items are all of good quality and excellent value. The only problem I have is that they make you walk a large distance (even if you take all the shortcuts) through the store even if you only want to pick up 1 or 2 items.
Great value. I have bought many things off these guys over the years; a fridge, camera, range hood, dishwasher, stove/oven microwave. They always have a really good price. Once for some of our kitchen appliances they even matched a internet price.
We purchased our kitchen tiles from here. There were extremely helpful with their suggestions; so were were able to pick the perfect tiles for our kitchen which now looks great. They even allowed us to borrow samples to take home to see if it suited.
We had our washing machine repaired. They came out the same day that we called them. They gave us a 4 hour block as to when the service person would arrive and he arrived within that time and fixed the machine in under 30 mins so we only had to pay the minimum service charge plus parts. The service man was happy and friendly.
Excellent value tyres, they gave me a very good price for 4 tyre fitted and balanced. The only problem that I had with them was that they told me to bring the car in in 30 mins after speaking on the phone and when I got it there they said they wouldn't be able to fit the tyres for another 45 mins, so I had to wait 1 hr instead of 15 mins.
The coburg drive-in provides an excelnt movie experience. You have the comfort of being in your own car, or the ability to take a 4WD or station wagon and lay down in the back with the back facing the screen. It is also excellent value with the ticket prices cheaper than normal cinemas and you can see a second movie for $5 on a normal day and on Monday it's $20 for a car load.
They do mens hair cuts for $2o, which I believe is excellent value. All the women working there do an excellent job. They are usually able to book you in for an appointment on the same day.
Approximate cost: $20
Great cheap Japanese food. They have an excellent menu with a wide range, and sell nice take-away sushi from the front widow. The teriyaki beef is excellent.
Solomon's are an excellent kosher butcher. They have an excellent range of of fresh and frozen meat and cold cuts as well as excellent pre-cooked meals such as chicken schnitzels and lemon chicken, and salads. They also have the best kosher pies around
Glick's have the most amazing bagels and sweet challahs. Glick's is a very good kosher bakery selling parve and dairy, with nice pastries and cakes. Additionally they have a sandwich bar and sell items like fried fish and fried fish-balls which are lovely.
