This review is for ClearlyContacts.com.au, Sydney NSW

They do free glasses giveaways to new customers. I benefited from this along with my mother. The glasses are the brand name they claim to be, of high quality (still wearing them) and they didn't take long to ship. They came with a little clear plastic bag with a cleaning cloth, spray, mini screwdriver and a case (matching your glasses.)
You do have to pay shipping but it's less than $20 for a couple hundred dollar glasses. They also have contact lenses, etc. I highly recommend them. I'm a loyal customer and have recommended family (mother) and friends to this site.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Lindt Chocolate Cafe, Sydney NSW

verified email - 19 Jul 2012

This is somewhat of a niche cafe in my mind. Everything is extremely sweet unless you request otherwise. Food, drinks, etc. It was a great experience though. The atmosphere was sophisticated (not always calm due to fellow customers) but clean and pretty. The staff were friendly but left you alone to talk. Food was expensive but worth it. If you go you won't regret it but you will leave with a huge sugar high. If your transport is far away, you should experience walking with a sugar high from Lindt at night. Great scenery, great experience.

This review is for Ben Narsi Optometrist, Miranda NSW

verified email - 19 Jul 2012

Ben and his receptionists were professional and friendly. I changed/renewed my prescription lenses of my glasses and tried contact lenses. In total (without Medibank deduction) it was almost $700. At Specsavers I could get two new glasses for $200. I felt incredibly ripped off but I could only pay the $400 dollar gap and smile.
The service and staff were lovely, informative and caring. I wouldn't go back just because of the price. Next time, I'm going to order my contacts online and get new glasses elsewhere.

This review is for Miranda Medical Centre, Miranda NSW

This is place doesn't take appointments so you'll have to get their early and wait. I had passed out/threw up in the Miranda Westfield and I had to wait quite a while but not over an hour. The doctor I got had a heavy accent I didn't quite understand but she was quite experienced and knowledgeable. The medical centre also has so much facilities you don't have to wait/book to use.
The doctor sent me off to one of the other rooms to get a couple of tests done and the results came out quickly. Over all it was one of the most thorough doctor/s I've experienced in my life.

This review is for Instyle Hairdressing, Sutherland NSW

verified email - 13 Jul 2012

It's one of the cheapest places to get your hair cut in Sutherland and great quality. It's $20 for a female cut and a wash is another $5. I had thick long hair that took nearly two hours to shorten and style into a bob but the the staff were still friendly and professional. It's my go to hairdresser.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Parrys Milk Bar, Caringbah NSW

verified email - 20 Jun 2012

It's not only a local wonder but it's also well known throughout Sydney. They have imported goods and sweets along with hot/cold drinks with a bit of individuality. The prices are reasonable. They open pretty early and they're right next to the station. It's a fantastic store on all accounts!

This review is for Simple Simon's Pies, Caringbah NSW

verified email - 20 Jun 2012

It's one of those local places that never disappoint. It's right next to the station and it's pies are divine. I also love their chocolate mud cupcake. The prices are good. The service is friendly and the store is small but it's a takeaway type of store that's usually clean. I recommend it.

This review is for Sushi-go-round, Caringbah NSW

verified email - 20 Jun 2012

I went as part of a big group trip. I felt like it wasn't worth the money spent. They had all the classic Japanese food/drinks such as green tea, green tea ice cream, etc and of course sushi but it wasn't amazing. The store's kind of small but that might've just been because of the size of my group.
It's also quite a walk there from the station. It would be convenient if you lived nearby and/or doing your shopping at woolies.

This review is for Word Of Mouth, Melbourne VIC

I get to give honest reviews in exchange for giftcards. That's fantastic and the rapidly building database of reviews also warn me off bad businesses and point me in the right direction for others.

This review is for Subway Sutherland, Sutherland NSW

verified email - 20 Jun 2012

This store is close to the station. They're cheap and healthy. The staff are usually friendly and the store seems very clean. Their hours are also very long so you could pop in for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, etc.

Approximate cost: $6
