This review is for Snug Friendly Store & Takeaway, Snug TAS

verified email - 21 May 2012

Handy store if you're after a can of coke when passing through Snug. With Snug being a small town they can pretty much charge what they like in term of groceries and the hot food can only slightly be classed as hot.. You would have be pretty hungry to buy anything..

Pretty standard store, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

Approximate cost: $Varies

Amazing. My favorite pizza place. Unlike the chain stores you really get your moneys worth of toppings, and a massive variety of choices too. Peppers stuffed with mozzarella on a pizza? These guys are geniuses! You simply couldn't find a place that uses fresher ingredients either, they roll the dough out in front of you! I'm hungry just thinking about them.

Approximate cost: $22 for two pizzas!

This review is for Computer Trader Hobart, Hobart TAS

Probably the only computer store in Tasmania that doesn't make me want to pull all my hair out. The staff are really helpful, the components they stock are of a good quality and price, they fit and test RAM free of charge (which is a real time saver). They sell a range of computers, both new and refurbished, all come with a warranty and a consideration for your wallet.
I mostly go in their for RAM which, as I said, is great because they'll fit and test it for you, for free!

Prices are a little on the high side, however the staff do know what their talking about. Personally I'd go elsewhere, or online, to buy anything. However if you're unsure of anything the staff are a wealth of knowledge.

They sell computers. Really all I can say about this store. Nothing to offer that an online or chain store couldn't. A little more expensive than most and considering their idea of customising to your needs consists of adding more RAM (for quite a big fee) and a bigger hard drive, you're better off shopping elsewhere unless you are not computer literate.

This review is for Kingborough Book Exhange, Kingston TAS

I hadn't been to the store since they changed locations, so today I decided to see if they'd improved. Only to find that this store is currently having a closing down sale. This isn't surprising. There is alot of stock, in no apparent order, that makes it impossible to find anything. Very unreasonably priced ($20 for a book that is $30 brand new). The prices are written in marker or pen on the cover so it can not be removed. Even having a closing down sale, all the stock is 20% off.. I don't think they will make any money before having to dump all their stock at the salvos.. Another prime example of a second hand dealer focusing on pricing rather than the turn over of stock (the cheaper to stock = the more stock you sell = the more room you have to sell more stock = the more money you make). A failed business by an amatuer retailer.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Beachfront 32, Kingston Beach TAS

Fresh fish, fine food and right on the beach, what more could you want? Separate dine in and takeaway menus, although you can't eat the take away food in the dining for outside seating.. The burgers on their takeaway menu are nothing less than awesome. Dining in can be a little noisy due to the acoustics of the building but they they utilized this design flaw buy having live music on the weekends.
Nice place for a meal and drink with friends.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Meredith's Orchard, Margate TAS

The best place for fresh fruit and vegetables in my opinion. Specials vary week to week, but their prices are consistently reasonable. Apples are always $1.00 a Kg. Wow.
This place really can't be outdone.

This review is for Eddy's Sewing Machine Centre, Hobart TAS

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

When I was looking to buy a sewing machine, after having no luck at finding one within my price range at Spotlight, I googled "sewing machines hobart" and this was the first place that showed up. Less than a minute of walking in to the store I was promptly asked if I needed assistance (which knowing nothing about sewing machines I really did). 15 minutes later I walked out with a sewing machine marked down from $400 to $200 with a 5 year warrenty, a year of free sewing classes, free over phone assitance whenever I needed it and a free bonus pair of scissors. All for $199.
I can not praise nor thank the staff and company enough.
Remarkable service and value.

Approximate cost: $200 - 1000

This review is for Heat Woodfired Pizzas, Lindisfarne TAS

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

This is the place that convinced me that carrot and pizza were born to be together. Any woodfire pizza is amazing, this place has gone above and beyond that by being a little bit more gourmet with their menu.
Absolutely delicious.

Approximate cost: $15
