I've found My survey to be a very reputable and honest survey panel. I've been a member for quite some time and enjoyed redeeming many rewards. My personal favourite is the paypal option as it works as cash meaning I can spend it anywhere, the surveys are fun and it's terrific to be able to give my opinion.

I've been a member of globaltestmarket for many years now and I've watched it evolve each year. It use to be that you would just get cheques once you reached 1000 points in your account but now the range is even better again. They have completely revamped their website and now offer gift cards for shops as well as paypal. The clear benefit of paypal is that is far quicker than waiting for a cheque and the money is easily accessible. It's a wonderful site and gives me the opportunity to provide my thoughts on just about everything. It's definately a survey program you can count on.

Located at Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre, this is a beautiful little cafe with a great range of food. The place is arranged in a very appealing way and it's catchy name demands attention. It was pleasing to see when I went there that it was not just all about hot food, the range of fresh sandwiches were a pleasant change and I chose to have those over the golden looking hot food which I must admit did look appealing, the service I got was very pleasant and I enjoyed having a light lunch and drink there. It's clearly obvious that they run a tidy cafe and take pleasure it making everything look good. I was pleased with the sandwiches and drink I bought and would definately go again. The prices were about average for a Kafe and its positioned it such a way that you could do your shopping then sit down and let the day take you where it wants too.

Umart online is a great way to purchase stuff, I've been using them for quite some time now and I've always found them to be helpful. I've noticed that when I purchase online I save a bit extra but one thing that disappointed me was when I ordered online, went to pay at the local umart branch, they charged me a silly surcharge just for using visa, that's not nice!!!. I find the website pretty straight forward but another complaint I have is there are not always illustrations to show the item which means I don't find out till I get to the physical branch to pick up my order. When you use Umart online you do need to know a bit about the products so I suggest researching first then going onto Umart's website to purchase the item and then you will save. I've bought lots from them such as control pads, webcams, mice, computers, graphic cards and very rarely had to get a refund. The staff at times can be hard to understand but they are quite helpful. I would recommend this place as a first port of call for IT needs.

Best Chemist in the world. I wouldn't have believed it till I went their myself. I take a special hair loss medication that costs an absolute fortune. Chemist warehouse offers it at a price no other chemist will price match. I also buy my deodorants, shavers and shampoos there. I can't find them cheaper. The staff are much friendlier than most chemists, but it's all about savings at this place. They also sell nice little nick knack gifts and health products. I can get a whole lot more for my money and use what I save on the things I really wanna buy.

KFC

KFC have been around for such along time and I think it's because they represent great value. There are not too many places you can go and get a meal for $5.95 (burger, chips and a drink). I want to single out one KFC Carindale for their exceptional service they gave me today. I got a bacon and cheese burger and decided on upgrading my drink to the very new and fantastic Milky Bar Krusher (amazing). What's more amazing is the level of service from the young man who served me, He was polite, efficient and should be highly commented by his boss. The whole process from going up to the counter, to being served, to providing advice on new products i.e. the new milky way krusher was outstanding. I can tell you now with certainy I will be going back.

The redlands times is evidence of the best things in life being free. I've enjoyed this paper year after year all at no cost. It keeps me up-to-date with events going on in my area and also provides the odd voucher to save money. There are so many big events in the Redlands and this paper succeeds perfectly in showcasing them.

Located at Capalaba, this is one very good bakery. I use this mostly on the ways to my parents when I need to provide a good morning tea. I also like taking my wife here when we go for a drive to get out of the house. Their sconnes are really beautiful and well priced. What I most like the best is two things...cream donuts and apple turnovers when combined with fresh cream. Some bakeries I've been to get the cream wrong, but this place gets it right "everytime". Their prices are so cheap you don't give it a second thought. It might be a tiny bakery but it makes a massive impact. The workers are great and always welcoming.

There's quite a number of good things about Flame Pizza including being a great location with plenty of surrounding area to sit and enjoy your pizza. I've been here a couple of times now and the first time I went I was confronted with so many pizza choices. I felt a little overwhelmed and it took me some time to really decide on what I felt like. I chose the BBQ Chicken and it tasted reasonable but I expected more. On my more recent visit I chose the supreme and this was much better, I really, really enjoyed it and got it as a combo with a drink for $10 which I thought wasn't too bad. The pizza's are generally about 9" but you can get bigger ones for a bit more. They also had a sign while I was there stating that pizza's are ready in around 4 mins, mine was just under 5 mins so I thought that was pretty accurate indeed. It's a place where you can get lunch quickly and get something enjoyable. It may not be a big name pizza place but it certainly has spunk and I think it's very unique. Well worth a try.

Transit Coffee Lounge is perfectly located for me. It's literally across the road and proved very handy a couple of days ago when I half packed my lunch. I bet your next question will be...how do you half pack a lunch??? Well, it's easy, I was watching Home and Away and somehow packed my morning tea, but completely left out the nice ham and seafood salad roll I prepared. Luckily, the transit centre had some beautiful sandwich selections and I was able to get a salad sandwich and a softdrink to top it off. I found the sandwich beautiful and was suprised how great it tasted. I was very temped by their hot food section though, they were advertising Kebabs and part of me wanted that, but I chose the healthy option. I wasn't disappointed though. It was still good and cheap too. I still wouldn't mind trying their hot foods purely for curiosity, they looked amazing. Staff are excellent and it's pretty busy, lots of workmen go there I've noticed. I will definitely use them again.
