Not great customer service, can sometimes find a clothes bargain but otherwise they're expensive for what they are. I love the clearance sales on makeup and PJ's.

Expensive PJ's but I love them so much. I've had a pair from this shop that has lasted me over 3 years.

Approximate cost: $90

The location is perfect for a McD's, and they are actually able to properly assemble a burger and remember the sauce for your nuggets. Chips are usually pretty fresh too.

Approximate cost: $8

I adopted my dog and two cats from here, lovely helpful staff and a great range of toys, food and accessories.

Huge store, great range. I spend hours in the store. Staff are a little hard to track down but always very helpful.

Approximate cost: $1000

My partner and I did L&E for 3 months, he lost some weight (1800cal) but I gained 4kg on the 1500cal. A friend has lost 10kg after 5/6 months on the 1200cal one. Some of the dinners are gross.

I loved this place as a kid, and now I take my little brother. It's great fun and you can even stop off at the library for a book to read in the sun.

Approximate cost: $20

They have New Zealand lollies- pineapple lumps and chocolate fish. The bakery stocks white choc and cranberry cookies. The freezer always contains interesting ice-creams (chocolate lime Kiwi was the last one I got). Packets of flower or vegetable seeds are $1. I love the quirks.

I like to have a look around at whats new while getting my scripts filled. Staff are friendly and great help. I rarely walk out without a new product. The loyalty program is great too.

eBay is great for bargains, I've brought clothes, makeup, water features, computer games, posters, jewelery and pet accessories on the cheap for years. I always use pay pal or cash on pickup with a receipt because it's nice to have a bit of security. Beware cheap imitations of anything brand-name.
