I had a very nice experience yesterday when shopping for a Reptile Light for my turtle. I was very surprised at the great prices, better than any price I could find online. I was also surprised at the great range of pet products as we also have fish, birds and a dog. The range was vast and at affordable prices. Lets face it, most pet shops have quite expensive prices for pet accessories etc, but City Farmers had good prices. I finally went to check out and the lovely assistant also informs me that they have a loyalty card program and when you get to 200 points, you get $10 of your next purchase. With purchasing turtle food and other products consistently, I'll get to 200 points quickly. I already got 36 points for my first purchase. One point for each dollar spent. Finally a pet shop I can rely on for value, affordability and quality whilst also rewarding customer loyalty.

Approximate cost: $36.75

Shopping at Officework's has been a really good experience. Firstly I went in to get some general office supplies and toner, the extent of their stock and great prices always keeps me coming back. On this shopping occasion I noticed a Officeworks Kids Club. I came home and went online and registered my children to be told that they also get a little starter pack with pencil case, keyring, bookmark, stamp and badge. I went in yesterday and got the kids packs, they are a fantastic initiative for the children and on their birthday's they get a card that's redeemable for a gift. The service was fantastic and friendly as it always is. I should also note that when buying Toner the lovely lady politely told me that my toner cartridges are no longer being produced and that my 8 year old printer is now too old and I am buying the last of the stock. The level of customer service and expertise is always good.

Approximate cost: $64.75

I enjoy shopping here, there is always something different and you can usually get a great bargain. Sometimes quality could be questioned but you can question that in many lines in retail stores these days such as Kmart and Best & Less. I bought shorts recently and their quality seems to be quite good. Staff were helpful when asked. I believe you can look great at bargain prices with this store, I have liked this store for a long time.

I have visited this place on a number of occasions. It is a great place where I could meet some other mums for a play date with other kids. As a mother of a little boy with autism, I found this place really fantastic and a safe environment for my boy to actually play, yell, roll around and have the time of his life. The fact that I actually get a coffee and a treat if I'd like while having a chat is priceless.

Approximate cost: $14.00

I go into this store quite regularly for Bird Food. I have always found the staff very friendly and helpful. Their prices are very reasonable. The stock is always fresh and available. Price of my particular item is only a small fraction higher than a supermarket price and it is much better quality. Parking is always available and it's easy to get to.

Approximate cost: $9.99
