The Fruit Shack always has great prices, but the quality of their products is sometimes low. There is often fruit that has gone off in the fruit bins, and badly bruised items. They also don't offer EFTPOS, which has caught me out a few times.
I just joined Freestuff.com.au and have already found 12 listings I was interested in claiming for free, and links to other free sites. I did find that many of the listings were old and expired. The site would be a lot better if it was given a good clean up and the expired items were removed. Overall though, pretty cool!
The Original Donnybrook Pizza have very friendly staff, an extensive menu, very reasonable prices and fast delivery, but I was a little disappointed by the food. I ordered pasta, and found it quite bland. I would give them another try though.
Wood Oven is a great choice when you don't feel like cooking. They offer a huge selection of meals, not just pizza! I personally love their lamb cutlets. I use their delivery service. Be prepared, it is a little slow, but worth the wait. They once forgot an item from my order, and happily drove back to the store to get it.
Eat Now is an online site that offers online ordering for take away food businesses in your local area. You don't pay any more for delivery than you would normally. You can browse menus online, and can even pay with Paypal! The down side is that they only have 2 businesses available for my area. I have used the service a couple of times now and find it very easy to use.
Crust is without a doubt my favorite pizza shop in Geelong! Their prices may seem higher, but the quality of ingredients they use, and generous amount of toppings used actually make their pizzas top value. I order online as it is so easy. If you sign up you will always get free delivery. Their large pizzas are around $21, medium around $17.

So many food choices in Williamstown, but we decided to try Siam Orchid Thai. We were not disappointed! The red curry would have to have been one of the best I have had. Prices were very reasonable, and the staff were charming. I would love to go back!
Approximate cost: $16.50
The Ghosts of the Old City Williamstown ghost tour is a fabulous way to see the sites in a different light. We started our tour at 8.30pm and it went for just over 2 hours. Our guide was Ross, and he had us entertained with fascinating stories the whole walk. Going on the tour means you get access to some cool areas too, like the old morgue! Highly recommended!

I went to Movieland to see what ex rental DVDs were for sale. Neither of the two sales assistants acknowledged my presence in the store. I was there for quite a while and they continued talking among themselves like I wasn't there. I found this quite rude when I was the only person in the store. I would have appreciated a simple hello. I did have a question about the DVDs, but left without asking or purchasing, deciding to go elsewhere.
The staff at Geelong Foot Clinic are super friendly. They go that extra step further in trying to come up with a solution to your foot problems. I have been going there for quite some time now, and have always received great service.
