Salvo’s

The Salvo’s shop is one of the better opportunity shops out there. I often donate to the cause by providing some old clothing and items to them. In terms of variety of what is on sale, it can often vary. The pricing on most items is very reasonable (they could probably even charge more), however it can be a bit of a lucky dip when it comes to what is on offer.
Unfortunately (well at least for myself) in recent years, the book collection has significantly been reduced in size. Clothing and furniture remain dominant though, which is a good thing if you are looking for some penny-​pinching home-​ware items. They also have a good range of kids toys, most of which appeared basic staples when I was there but nonetheless can be quite useful.
At the end of the day, the money does go to a good cause and I am sure that there is something to suit everyone in the shop (at some point or another).

Not ultra exciting. Clearly thrift stores are a product of their environment, so depending on the demographic, that’s the kind of clothes you’re going to be sifting through. I found a lot of tracksuits and old t shirts etc.
I didn’t buy anything, Im sure from time to time you could get lucky here, and I know it goes to a good cause, but I probably wouldn’t stop for another look if I’m down that way again. I do agree with the others though, There are some good kids stuff available.

One of the cleanest, largest and well stocked Salvos I’ve come across.
You can find some fashionable threads here, some costing under $ 7 and some just a little over $ 10, I like to call it the Salvos price, seeing that prices are not low in Salvos stores.
They have a good range of ladies shoes and handbag which is worth checking out. I was fortunate to score an Oroton wallet here, it looks authentic and I am waiting to take it in the Oroton boutique for further verification.
Great stock for kids and men alike, definitely make this your first pit stop if you’re planning to head out to Savers in the neighbourhood.

I just happened to be at this shopping centre one day waiting for something from another shop and thought I would just browse in this store while I waited.
They actually have quite a lot of stuff and if it’s not good enough they can’t sell it so it always checked items for sale. Mostly clothes and some minor bric a brac, not much furniture really but a little. However I did manage to get some great second hand clothes for my kids. An amazing shirt for my youngest which he wore ALL the time. Absolutely LOVED it! And some really cool Holden pyjamas that were still in great condition. I picked up some really good bargains and walked out with a few items for each child and only spent about $ 30.00. Kids grow out of clothes so quickly that you can pick up really good second hand stuff that is barely worn.
After getting some great bargains here myself I always donate what my kids grow out of back to them to sell to another person looking to get some good pre-​loved clothes and save a few dollars.
