I shop at kmart all the time, the clothes are cheap but still look pretty god and you can buy almost anything there, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled an Ikea and put a resterant in the middle of the store. Basically if you don't care about having the top name brands, but still want good quality, kmart target or bigW are the places to be.
We recently built a house in Butler, and when we moved in, we got a $1000 gift card for Bed, Bath and Table, my mum and I spent several hours on a house shopping spree, including new pillows and a huge fake-fur bedspread for me! There is a great range of choices and the prices arn't too bad. I did get the feeling that the sales lady was trying to get us to buy the most expensive stuff instead of looking for what suits our needs, but of corse that changed when we said we were spending $1000 and she just skipped along happily. :)
I've only been there once while passing through Sydney, but the service was absolutly amazing! asked a question about mineral foundation, and I ended up getting a whole make-over! And it wasn't a cheap and horrible make-over either, it was great! I bought a bunch of products there and I love the body butter mst, it smells soooo good!
Red dot is pretty much a more expensive version of an american doller store. Anything bought can't be worth mor than a dollar. The lollies found there are cheap rip-offs of the favorites and ussually can't compare in flavour. Don't bother if you are looking for quality only if you want a quick and cheap rip-off.
Approximate cost: $1-$20
Timezone is awsome! I remember when I was in Sydney and my friend Jess and I spent nearly $200 just in timezone! Timezone is basically an arcade, it has racing games, mini sports games, photobooths, prizes and more! Timezone, though fun, can be very expensive. You may think that one game is cheap but it can really add up. I reccomend only putting a limited amouunt on a timezone card and stopping when it's gone.
I absolutly love Puffin Fresh Donuts! Whenever I pass by joondalup I go and grab a box of donut holes. The staff is friendly and can get you a hot donut and a caoffe in no time at all. It's cheap. It's quick. It's tasty, why wouldn't I rate it 5 stars!
Approximate cost: $less than $10
My family has been using Telstra Bigpond for as long as I knew the internet didn't magically come from the computer. Though we definately don't get enough downloads a month (Iv'e been begging my dad to get unlimited downloads for months now), the internet is very fast and we've never had a problem with it. I've seen the bigpond bills though and even though I don't have a comparison, I would say it is pretty damn expensive.
Felt like an average flight to me, the service was pretty good, not the worst i've had but i've also had better, the only thing that really caught my attention was how good the food was, I had a steak for dinner and I swear it was the best steak i've ever had, and airplane food isn't ussually the best...
I use my flybuys everywher that I can and I almost have enough points to get a free stay at a nice hotel. Though you don't get many points for everyday shopping, it's better than getting nothing and the cards free.
Approximate cost: $free
I just recently ordered my free edge card and I can't believe I didn't get one earlier! I've used it to save money on Boost Juice, Pizza, Maccas and even at flight center to save on both my flights and travel insurance! I definitely recommend it to any student who's eligible.
