Save The Children Australia

One of the best organised op shops I’ve been in.
They have a huge range of books! They are all laid out in genres and alphabetical so it is easy to find things if you are looking for something in particular. Majority of books are in a really good condition and the range of titles is huge! I love reading and picked up about 10 decent books.
The ladies clothes section is small but looked like they had some okay things.
Good collection of glassware and plates.
The staff were really helpful and looked out the back for things I was looking for. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever been in an op shop and have been asked if I need help!
I will definitely visit again to replenish my book collection.

I think I am a great op shopper, I have had people ask me advice and to take them shopping, there could be a trick to it but really it’s just persistence and always checking inside every store you pass.
This was the first time I had been in any save the children’s store. This particular store doesn’t have a huge emphasis on female clothing with only a small section. All the clothes in this section were of pretty good quality and all the matching 80’s jackets and skirts/​trousers they have matched.
The children’s section is probably the largest, all the clothes are in great condition and I would recommend this store to any parent regardless of their financial position.
They have a fantastic range of glasses, mugs, plates and assorted crockery all for ridiculously cheap prices. Recently for my twenty first I bought out my local salvos store of all their champagne, beer and wine glasses. The selection of I had looked really beautiful there was a maximum of two of any glass and with around 30 glasses I think cost $ 17. I agree with the lady who also reviewed this place matching is overrated any way!
There is a great selection of books also which are in great condition and I grabbed a couple of classics for $ 6 all together nice!

This is a great little op shop and how wonderful to think your money is going to a worthy cause, why cant it be like that everywhere we shop?
I wandered into this shop to find some plates, I was sick of buying sets of plates for our dinner parties because they kept breaking and then I couldn’t find another to match. So now every time I am in an Op shop I just look for unusual patterns of plates and buy them, that way the dinner table setting is so obviously mis match it looks like I’m being quirky rather than poor.
Whilst we were in here, we found some great toys for the kids and they were in really good condition. One item didn’t have a price on it, so the assistant said «Just pay what you think it is worth» I ended up paying more, I reckon that is a good pricing strategy for them.
