Good prices on some prescription medicine and they will often match the price of advertised prescriptions from other pharmacies for me. Sometimes they allow me to get my prescriptions delivered over the phone, which is fantastic. The pharmacy itself is very dimly lit and has a bad smell, and it takes a while for the prescriptions to come through, making the wait slightly unpleasant. Overall a good local pharmacy with friendly and helpful staff.
Very low prices, but it's usually very busy and the service can be so-so depending on whether the hairdressers are having a good day or not! I've had my hair cut there for years and sometimes they listen to me when I'd like something new (for example more layers) but sometimes they overstyle - I usually ask them to trim the ends and sometimes Angela ends up chopping half my hair off - it can be quite a shock.
Fantastic deli nestled in busy Mascot Shops. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and allow me to try samples of anything new without even asking them! Good prices and good quality food.
What I love about Kebabsaurus is they have a mini kebab available, great because their other kebabs are huge! Wonderful range of sides as well and really nice, fast service. They have great lamb kebab.

Went to them to get my windscreen wipers replaced as they no longer sell the kind I need first-hand. Took them over three hours to find the wipers and another hour to install - I told them I'd be late for work and needed to get it done, so maybe I could come by when they have found the wipers - but they simply took my current wipers off leaving me unable to go to work and come back later once they had found them. They also overcharged me for wipers - three of them including installation was $100, for second-hand wipers that turned out to be broken! Had to go back the next day to get one replaced because it was so broken.
Approximate cost: $100
Fantastic place to thread eyebrows! Very friendly, and the threading technique is found in very few places in Sydney and they do a fantastic job here. My eyebrows got reshaped here and I have to say I found they shaped them a lot better than other eyebrow places in Sydney. Would recommend to anyone looking for an alternative to plucking and waxing.

This Franklins has a great Kosher section and a great variety of items. I love going there for the discounts on every-day items. The deli always seems a bit neglected, but they've really stepped up their game on the fresh produce and bakery. They often have some really good specials and I like their loyalty scheme.
Equip has the friendliest staff of all the fake jewelery places I know! They are always willing to help and will find similar items or recommend things for me. There's a really good variety of stock with everything from hair accessories, bags, some cosmetics and jewelery. It is very well-priced.
The Reject Shop has some amazingly priced items and a really good range of everything from normal $2 shop items to special buys. Really good range of homewares and everyday items like tissues, soap, detergent. The staff are usually happy to help and there's enough staff that the queues aren't very long.
It really depends this store. I always go here for waxing, and I find that the service differs each time I go - and not just between each person servicing me. Sometimes they do a fantastic job, but the last few times (and two different staff) were double-dipping the waxing stick after it had touched my skin, which can lead to a lot of germs and bacteria spreading, and they poured the wax on so hot and pulled it out so hard they pulled out some skin with it! I had to see my GP and get some burn medication after seeing them. Very unhappy with their sometimes-good, sometimes-bad service.
