A little better than the average '$2 dollar shop'. Good for small items such a birthday cards, some stationary items, bits and pieces where you don't want to spend a lot of money. If you want good quality go somewhere else.

This is the best Muffin Break outlet. They are actually cheaper than the other MBs and the service is so quick. The coffee card is very generous - 5th one free.

I buy whole grain whole meal breads and buns and they are always fresh and of good quality. Love to know there's no preservatives and nasties in them.

A good range. Check prices with other stores first. I didn't have problems taking items back. Staff are helpful.

Aldi is so much cheaper than the other stores. It was a culture shock at first. Nearly all products were different and unknown makes. But now its my weekly visit routine. I must save about $100 a week going there.

Approximate cost: $100 a week

Target is affordable and good for children's clothing. There is no problem taking back items. Prices can be marked wrongly. Some items are cheaper than the price tag which can be a nice surprise. So it's a good idea to check the price with the price checker it maybe cheaper than you think.

Love going to Kmart. It's so cheap. I like to browse through the clothing section. I don't have a store locally so it's a novelty when I do get to one.

I go to Myers for quality when I can spend more. The service is good as I like to look first with no one to bother me and then ask for help if I need it. A negative experience though I did buy a vaccuum cleaner that I was told was good for me and it wasn't up to scratch.

Approximate cost: $130
