Quick Bargains

I agree with the others on this store in general since I’m not a fan of this style of cheapie place, but it’s worth a mention that as a sideline they offer dry cleaning services here, three pieces for $ 18. I think that’s so unexpected and random I can rate that. In a nutshell — way to mix divergent businesses!

Another Cheap as Chips style store with lots of cheap crap, lots of bargains, and a lot of useless things you wouldn’t normally care for if it was more than $ 2. There’s quite a few interesting bits and pieces in here so I wouldn’t go past having a look through if you’ve got an event coming up where you need a box to put a gift in, if you need funky glasses for an outfit, or if you need things for the house that you really don’t mind getting broken!

Ahhh, yet another source of random junk and crazy toys for me to spend half an hour or so rummaging around in, I can feel my junk draw at home already groaning from the added weight! Quick Bargains on Payneham Road is a mildly up-​market version of a Cheap as Chips style store. Don’t get too excited though, it is still utter junk but it’s better than the random ‘fall apart in 23 seconds’ rubbish you would usually find at these stores!
They have a selection of shades that would make Elton John a stupidly happy individual, and it kept me busy for quite a while as well! Although there is a lot of gear that you would probably never use, occasionally you can find just the thing you need which you may have had to fork out major coin for if it was from a ‘normal’ specialty shop.
I thought the selection of gift boxes was very good and really cheap. I hate wrapping presents so this is a great option, and it actually looks mildly classy… that’s me, classy from head to toe!

Quick Bargains! is, as the name suggests, one of those shops that sell a lot of random things at pretty good prices. It’s good for cheap kitchen items such as cutlery, baking ware, measuring pots or mugs. Be aware though that you won’t get any great designs or high quality material for a few bucks.
Apart from that, they stock Christmas stuff (at the moment), cards, some useful utensils such as tape, rope or scissors. Stationary is also part of their selection and then really just very random things like sunglasses or cardboard boxes to put things in.
If you ever get to Glynde Plaza, it’s worth having a quick browse because you might find something you’ll need. (A baking tray in my case)
