They have an online store now so anyone in Australia can buy shoes from them. Shipping is only $10 flat rate. You can find a large variety of comfortable yet fashionable shoes here. I bought a pair of reddish heels with a platform. They look great and fit well. They allow returns for free, although you do have to pay for return shipping.

I came here for a family dinner last night. I was able to have vegan dishes prepared for myself, including a mushroom dish and a bean curd dish. We got a section of the restaurant for ourself, which gave our family more privacy, although the noise level is not that much better. Food came at suitable times so that we weren't waiting too long.

This is a relatively new store in Castle Towers on the Coles level, although they have other franchises in Sydney. They sell a wide range of sushi, including bento boxes, rolls, sashimi and inari. Their vegan options include the vegetarian roll and the avocado and cucumber rolls, which are priced at $2.30 per roll. Another vegan option is the seaweed salad roll which is $2.60. Other rolls of the same size are also $2.60. I had the avocado and cucumber roll. I didn't need to add any soy sauce, as the rice itself has enough flavour. Good value and convenient location, near the supermarkets.

This is a reasonably priced shop with plenty of variety for women, men and kids. They also sell school shoes and evening bags. They have an online store that delivers for free for orders over $70. I recently bought a pair of red heels on sale for $40 online. The good thing is that if you don't like the fit or for any reason, you can return the shoes to any of their stores or receive an exchange.

Approximate cost: $40

Artique resort is a fairly new resort very near to the Surfer's Paradise beach. I've booked 13 nights stay with them for my honeymoon, as they currently have a special of 45-50% discount off their usual rates. I'm paying only $89 per night during off peak season.

Their apartments are all self contained with laundry facilities. You would have to pay for your own internet for an extra cost. However, they have other facilities such as a swimming pool and jacuzzi, a theatre room that you can book in advance and a sauna.

I came here to enquire about wedding cakes. Wayne the owner is friendly and accommodating of requests. I requested a 2 tier chocolate vegan wedding cake which he could do for $235 including delivery to the restaurant in Chatswood. He only requires a $50 deposit, with the balance being paid the week of the wedding.

I was also able to use a $30 discount voucher from the Entertainment book, making it even better value. You can show him the picture of what you want, and choose a variety of flavours. He makes gluten free, egg-free, dairy free, etc. according to your request.

I came here for lunch by myself. I had 4 plates, 2 being cucumber mini rolls, 1 being seaweed mini rolls and 1 being avocado mini rolls. Taste is as expected, nothing special, but satisfying enough for me. The plates range from $2.50-$5.90 depending on what you get. My 4 plates came to $10 and I was able to use the 25% discount entertainment book voucher, so it was a reasonably priced lunch.

Approximate cost: $10

I have hired a chauffeur driven Bentley Mark 6 from here. Their cars are beautiful inside and out, and nicely decorated. The cars are well-maintained, and the owner of the business, Peter, is a friendly man who has a passion for what he does. Compared to similar businesses, he offers the best value for the price.

Approximate cost: $700

I came here with two friends. I ordered 2 baked potatoes without the sour cream as I don't eat meat, dairy or eggs. I asked if they could put another flavour of gravy on the side with the potatoes but they didn't do that, so I was disappointed that they didn't have that option, even though there are many options for gravy if you order meat.

The baked potatoes were large and very filling. Each one cost only $4, so it was a satisfying meal, but I would have liked more taste, hence asking for gravy or other flavouring (even salt and pepper would have been fine).

My friends seemed to enjoy their orders though. Most of the meat dishes can come with chips if you like. They also provide you with a bib if you are a messy eater.

Approximate cost: $8

Last Sunday my bridesmaids bought dresses from here while they had their sale. They got their dresses at 50% off the original price, and their sizes were still available. They also bought shoes that go very well with the dress at a $20 discount. They have beautiful classy clothes here, even lovely enough for a wedding or other formal functions.

Approximate cost: $100
