B-fresh is a great place to stop and buy fruit and veg, I usually stop once a week on my way past, as I find that the range and quality of the fruit and veg is very good, I also like that they have some other items there, like some grocery stuff, I got some apple juice we needed here last week which saved me from having to stop at the supermarket. They do have a deli area which serves beautiful food and the parking isnquite good too.

I got a bunch of flowers from the Kawana Florist for my Mum for mothers day. It was very easy to get them here as the shop is in the middle of the shopping centre near Woolworths, the quality of the flowers were really good and I noticed that they still looked good days later when I was at my Mums. The lady there put some nice ribbon on them when I got them and I must say they looked quite fancy, my Mum loved them.

I often go to the Big Top when I am at Maroochydore, and always seem to end up visiting this newsagent, I was there most recently on Tuesday this week and found a great birthday card, I always spend time looking for the perfect card and found one here to send to a friend of the family. They have a big range of cards, magazines and even books and the staff were very nice when I was here this week, and have always been nice in the past too, especially helpful whrpwn I have got lotto tickets as I am not an expert in that area.

I was at the Shingle Inn last week for afternoon tea. I love the atmosphere, I ended up deciding to get some carrot cake and a coke. The carrot cake was delicious. The prices aren't cheap, but the food is delicious, the staff very nice and the location is only a street away from the beach, so can't really complain. I love going here every few months for a treat. I always sit outside when I go, as its a nice place to sit outside when the weather is nice.

I was at Bunnings last week to get some timber, I like to go there when I need to buy timber because unlike a lot of the other places, I am able to look through the wood myself and pick out the pieces I want and avoid any large defects like knots etc, and therefore I am able to use the whole piece and not waste money. I went to the trade counter when I was there last week and they arranged for one of the staff to come and cut the wood to size for me, as I only needed two cuts they did it for free, which saved me the hassle when I got home. They have always had what I have needed when I have been here looking for something.

I have been using Ebay for over five years. I used Ebay at Christmastime last year to buy lots of presents, I was able to find really original presents for lots of the family. Most recently I was able to find a Pokemon t shirt for a birthday last month, that I hadn't been able to find anywhere else, its great if you keep an eye out for bargins, as I have often been able to find exactly what I want at reaaly good prizes and I love getting parcels in the mail.

Iga at Bellvista is a great place to do the grocery shopping, I have been there for large or small shops, every single week since they opened over a year ago. They have a large range of goods, and once about six months ago I asked if they could get the particular kind of longlife milk in that I drink and they were fantastic, they arranged to stock it and I am now able to get what I need from here. They have undercover parking which is great when it rains.

I got a present for my wife for Christmas from Butterfly Silver at the plaza. I knew that I wanted to buy earrings, but I wasn't sure exactly what kind to get. The girl that served me was very helpful and asked some questions and helped me to narrow it down to three different ones. I ended up buying a really nice dangly pair for about $50, when I gave them to her at Christmas time, she loved them and started wearing them straight away, its a painless way to shop and very good value I think.

I was at the Caloundra RSL last weekend, we went for lunch on Saturday, we both had nachos which tombe honest were too much food, as the meals were so big, but they tasted great. I am a member, it's only a few dollars a year, so is well worth it. I spent $5 om Keno while I was here and lost it all! But next time I'll win. The cafe staff were friendly too.

I got some groceries from Coles in Caloundra today, I especially love the ready made fresh curries that they have right there as you walk in. I have always founfpd the fruit and vegetables to be nice and fresh, I asked one of the guys there today if they had anymore washed potatoes because they had run out, and he was great and went straight out and got me a bag from out the back. There are usually quite a few specials here too.
