This review is for Domino's Pizza, Melton VIC

verified email - 13 Sep 2009

I order my Pizza online and they have always been prompt. When I have phoned through, they have had it ready on time and the staff are friendly. They do have a good range and it's not bad value for money especially when you use the discount coupons that are available online. Their deserts are a bit overpriced for what they are.

Approximate cost: $6 or $7 for a basic pizza

This review is for Bars 'n' Stuff, Melton VIC

I love going into this shop! One of my friends is a die hard Simpsons fan. I found so many things at Bars n Things that I couldn't find anywhere else. If you're looking for something for that special Man in your life, this is certainly the place to go. There is so much to look at and they are quite reasonably priced. I will go back again for sure!

This review is for Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses, Melton VIC

I think that for what their products are, they certainly overcharge.

I went in there the other day to get some pies for our lunch and ended up being out of pocket over $30 for a few pies and some cakes. I have had much better quality products from other bakeries and don't see why this franchise claims to be so superior. They were also quite rude to the Lady in front of me which made me a bit worried about how I would be treated!

Approximate cost: $Too much!

This review is for Buddy's Bakery, Melton VIC

A fantastic little Bakery. Their products are of high quality and they also have a huge range. They do run out of bread quite quickly on the Weekend though so, get in early! They are always friendly and helpful and they have the BEST freshly made sandwiches! They also have a great range of cakes.

I go here to get my prescriptions as I save a fortune! They even hold your scripts for you if you need a repeat. When you're about to run out of your medication, you just give them a call and they'll have the script ready for you when you get there. It saves a lot of time. Some of the other things there aren't as cheap as I feel they should be for a company who buys in bulk but, as I said, I save a fortune on prescriptions so I am happy to pay a little extra for rather than shop around. They have a huge range and the staff are very helpful.

Approximate cost: $They do have a catalogue for their prescription prices - pick one up when you're there and compare h

This review is for Melbourne Aquarium, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 13 Sep 2009

I have been to the Aquarium a few times and recently, we were trying to work out where to go to as a Family. I thought that we might go to the Aquarium as the Children loved it. After looking at the Prices, we were turned off going. We are a large family (my Husband, myself and our 4 Children - 10, 8 and 18 month old twins) and for us to go would cost us $85 - just in admission. If we were to go by publlic transport or Car, our day out would be around about $140. I understand that they are a business and that they are in it to make money however, in this day and age when things are tight, they need to consider adjusting their admission fees to attract more people. When we've been in the past, we've spent around 2 hours there - it doesn't take long to get through the whole place at all. It's simply not worth the money.

Approximate cost: $In our case, $85 for 2 Adults and 4 Children (under 3's are free)

This review is for Fernwood Fitness, Melton VIC

verified email - 13 Sep 2009

I used to attend Fernwood in Melton and would recommend it to EVERYONE (well, every girl anyway!). The team is fantastic. They are all very friendly, helpful and keep you motivated. They have a great timetable full of different classes and there's something to suit all levels of fitness. The facilities are clean and welcoming. Their equipment is state of the art.

Approximate cost: $Around $18 per week - higher if you want weight management and personal training.

This review is for Doghouse Grooming, Melton VIC

verified email - 10 Sep 2009

We've been using Dog House Grooming for over 6 years. They are fantastic with our Dog (a Maltese Shizu) and they are reasonably priced. They are also in a central location. I am pretty sure that they have a pick up and drop off service for an extra charge if you require it. The Staff are very friendly and happy to assist in anyway possible.

Approximate cost: $Our Dog costs $60 for a shampoo, clipping (nails and hair), flea treatment and style. Not sure how

This review is for Melton Health, Melton West VIC

verified email - 09 Sep 2009

We've been to Melton Health a number of times! Each time I have found their service to be of a high level. They have been very helpful, often going above and beyond what I have expected (and I do have high expectations!). I have found on a few occasions they haven't had a Doctor available which has made our visit pointless as that's what we've needed! I find this a better alternative to going to Bacchus Marsh Hospital as there is a less of a wait and there operating hours are better than any of the Doctors around this area.

Approximate cost: $Bulk billed

This review is for Tabcorp Park, Melton VIC

verified email - 09 Sep 2009

We have been here three times. The first time was okay - the food seemed nice, the service was quick and even though they got our meal wrong, they quickly rectified the situation. We went back a second time. Ordered Garlic Bread. Got 2 pieces of your standard size 'cook at home' Garlic Bread for $5.50. They messed the meals up again and once again, quickly fixed the mistake. We went on Father's day - waited over an hour and twenty minutes for our meals to come out. The kids meals came out 45 minutes before the Adult's ones did - once again, 2 pieces of Garlic Bread for $5.50 and a Waitress smashed a plate on the carpeted floor and didn't come back to clean it up when she could clearly see there were babies of a crawling age around on the floor. We won't be going back.

Approximate cost: $15 - $30
