I always find good bargains of pre-loved clothes at Lifeline at Waterford. They have a good range in all different sizes and also sell great pieces of jewelery at great prices.

Approximate cost: $12.00

If I need any hardware, screws, paint or other bits and bobs that you can't find in a supermarket, I always visit Waterford Hardware after I have finished my grocery shopping and always find what I need there.

Approximate cost: $22.00

I love looking for nick nacks, fake flowers, candles, wrapping paper, cards and craft items at Madhouse. Especially good place to visit if you need a gift for someone and you are on a tight budget.

I have enjoyed purchasing many items of Ladies Fashion from Lynne's and love the fact that it is things I don't see everywhere. They have everything from formal to casual and of course have a great specials rack outside the shop for the bargain hunter.

Living on property I am always fixing fences so I always use Jimboomba Fencing and Steel Supplies as they have a large range of products to choose from and something that always suits exactly what I need.

Approximate cost: $120.00

If you love buying good quality crusty bread this is the bakery for you. Always fresh and smelling great and they sell other delicious baked goods as well. Try one of their Breads from around the world for something different.

I have been going to Bishops Pharmacy since I was a little girl and it's nice to know that the quality of service has not changed over the years. Friendly staff who are very caring and community minded.

Visit Pelican's Nest for a relaxing time by the sea. Eat Fish and chips while smelling the sea air and then go for a stroll along the waterfront. Next time I visit I shall try one of their delicious looking cakes.

Approximate cost: $20.00

Want to eat something a little different? Then visit Jan Power's Farmers Markets at Manly. Come and talk to the producers themselves and taste their samples first hand. The quality can't be beaten and its always a treat to visit.

This restaurant has been in Wynnum for years and years which means they must be doing something right. If you like good old Aussie Chinese fare, this is a great place to dine in (or takeaway) and the prices are great too. I mustn't forget about the staff - always smiling, happy and amenable.
