I go to Caltex/Woolworths petrol outlets because I have a Woolworths Ezy Card; I earn points for shopping there and I get the 4c/litre discount. Plus their autogas price is as low as it gets anywhere near here! Once I had no cash, but knew the balance on my card, so fueled up to that amount. However I'd had a fee taken from my account unbeknown to me, and my balance was now less than my fuel expense. I thought I'd get the third degree about being unable to pay for my fuel, but the staff were great and so understanding. They allowed me to use their phone to rectify the matter, and were soooo wonderful and patient about the whole situation.

I went in to PetStock to get some tick prevention for my dog. I am new to the coastal areas, but had researched the products and had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and how I was going to do the tick treatment. The Staff informed me of the specials for members, which were certainly a good deal; however I had already decided that an alternative product (not on special) had been the one to purchase. I explained that I was intending on alternating different products for the best effect, and they were very encouraging in their agreement. I was given a decent discount for buying the two products in spite of them not being on special. I also was given a free gift as a thankyou, and even more, was given a pig's ear (at least I think that's what it was!) for my dog, since she had recently had her birthday. The staff were very helpful, and I love the fact that Kierah (my dog) is allowed to actually go into the shop with me! They have scales there so that I could weigh her to check the correct dosage to buy. My reason for shopping there: I had previously been to every vet and pet shop in the area asking for advice and pricing tick treatments, and had found that PetStock is quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else. I am now a member, so enjoy additional benefits also. Price is definately my number one reason for buying there, but the staff service is over and above anything else I have experienced!

Approximate cost: $70
