Amazing value for money! A great place to grab a quick yet tasty meal. I have heard a lot about this place from my friends, but didn't think that it would live up to the hype. I was wrong. The different deals available (I think there are 8 from memory), and they have been so lovingly cooked. The fishcake is great, as was the prawn dish. Even the rice was well cooked. The place is not all that appealing - a bit dated. But the owner was really nice and I felt like I was eating home-cooked meals. Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $7

A good variety of products but the stationery is too expensive for my liking. However, you can get some really good deals sometimes for electronic goods.

This review is for Gorman House Markets, Braddon ACT

A great, small market held on Saturdays (10am-4pm). Lots of hand-made craft stalls, second-hand books and clothing, and cuisines from all over the world. The coffee vender out the front was the highlight for me. He made the most amazing white chocolate/chai latte drink - if I were to marry a drink, I would marry that one! So tasty! The buildings are old but have a nice vibe about them. Small and quiet (and only behind Canberra Centre), but well worth the visit.

A great market and a true Tassie icon. A great variety of locally produced goods, such as fudge (which you can get plenty of free samples), wooden pens, leatherwood honey... the list goes on. The atmosphere is wonderful and the Peruvian music adds a nice touch too. A bit expensive though but well worth it :)

Good variety, relatively clean for what it is and very much a down market approach to selling produce - that's how they get away with selling things for so cheaply! I only wish that they were located more closely to where I live!

A bit expensive but great tasting food. The waiters were really nice and friendly. I had the Nasi Goreng Kampung, which was $14.80 (the website has an updated list of dishes). It was a nice, big portion and I struggled to finish it. But it was so tasty - I had to finish it! It had the right level of spicy, well suited to my Australian palette. The restaurant tables were a little tacky though - some sort of duck tape was stuck to the edges of the table I was sitting at. Apart from that, it was a great experience.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for My Survey Australia, North Sydney NSW

A great site. Lots of surveys (normally), but I have been increasingly screened out of many which is a shame. The site has been a bit buggy too recently. However, I love the rewards (which includes paypal and jb hi fi online).

Great surveys that pay better than others. The variety is good and I have received many home trials from them. However, when I contacted them with problems, the response I got was clearly written by some with very poor English skills and didn't really answer my problem. But great rewards for surveys nonetheless.

A great little cafe in one of the strangest places I have seen. Great little cakes and good macaroons too! Plus, if you are motivated after eating such good food, you can good and buy cooking equipment in the same store!

This review is for Hill Street Grocer, West Hobart TAS

A very good, local supermarket. They have the freshest produce and such a wonderful variety too. They have really friendly service too but a tad expensive (but to be expected). I love the design too - very green and modern. Everything about it is very Tasmanian. I love this place though they were closer to where I live in Hobart.
