My partner and I decided to try out the new 'Salt Flakes' restaurant/cafe this week and were very impressed with our meals and the service we received.

My partner ordered the steak burger and I chose the marinated chicken (both meals were approx $20 each). They had a $12 lunch special which they apparently have each weekday with a different special each day but we decided to order from the full menu.

Our meals were prepared relatively quickly and beautifully presented on the plates.

I half expected being a new restaurant/cafe with new staff that there might be some minor hiccups with the service but I couldn't find fault. They all did such a great job and I will definitely be coming back to this venue in the future.

Approximate cost: $20

I have recently upgraded my pets' id tags after one of the dogs lost his previous one. I saw a link to the website: www.pet-tags.com and decided to give it a try. I placed orders for two cute little pet tags with a paw print design on the front of them and my pets' names and a contact phone number on the back of them. There were quite a few different shapes and designs and fonts to choose from.

I placed my order online and received the tags in the mail about a week and a half later. I am very happy with the quality of the tags - they are a decent weight and size (not too thin and flimsy like some other ones I have seen). Each tag cost about $15 each but I think it is worth it and will be using them again soon to upgrade my cat's id tag.

Approximate cost: $30

I regularly purchase teas from Adoretea.com.au

They sell a huge variety of loose leaf teas - they stock all of the standard teas, along with heaps of herbal teas, green tea flavours and fruit infused teas (I recommend the Turkish Apple!).

You can buy the loose leaf tea varieties in different sized quantities including sample size 2 cup sachets (which I have used quite a few times to try out some different teas that I probably wouldn't have been game to try if I had to purchase a large quantity).

The website is easy to navigate and includes thorough details about each individual tea including useful suggestions of other teas that you might like if you like a particular tea of theirs. Payment can be made through the website by credit card, paypal or direct deposit.

When the teas arrive they are in prepackaged sachets in whichever size you have chosen and the packaging provides details on the health benefits of your tea, the ingredients and the recommended brewing time and method.

They offer free delivery for orders over $50.00.

I recently placed an order for some health foods and body products including natural sunscreen. I found this website when I was looking for other sites to purchase natural products from and found this shop to have the best prices on the items that I wanted to purchase. The website was easy to navigate (although it looked a little outdated) and I was able to pay for my order using Paypal.

It did take about a week for my order to arrive, however the order was well packaged and all of the products arrived in perfect condition.

They offer free delivery for orders over $100 although I didn't spend enough to qualify. I cannot remember the exact postage rate that I had to pay but I think it was around about $8.

Approximate cost: $60

I used Interflora's website to purchase a bouquet of flowers and a gift hamper for a family member who is living overseas at the moment. Delivery to London was very cheap, although the overall cost of the floral bouquets and hampers were more expensive than other florists.

The floral bouquet was delivered on the recipients birthday, however the hamper didn't arrive. When I chased it up with Interflora they had incorrectly ordered the hamper to be delivered the following week. They refunded some of the cost of the hamper and the delivery costs and arranged for delivery to be made the next day.

The hamper did eventually arrive.

Approximate cost: $130

Great internet speed and fairly reasonable prices with only the occasional drop out of the internet service. Their customer service was prompt and helpful. We were with internode for a few years before switching to another company as they offered a better deal.

Approximate cost: $80

I followed my hairdresser here when she purchased Bamboo Beauty Lounge and as always I am very happy with the quality of my hair cuts and colours. I haven't used any of the beauty services, only the hairdressing services. Claire and the girls do such a great job looking after me and making the hair cutting experience very pleasant and relaxing.

Approximate cost: $130

I have used Dvdland a few times to purchase hard to find dvds such as fitness dvds and also music concerts. Their prices are fairly cheap, although it pays to compare the exact dvds that you are after on different websites as sometimes they aren't the cheapest option.

The website is relatively easy to use, place an order and pay for your order using Paypal or your credit card.

Dvd's have always arrived within a few days of purchasing them and are brand new and sealed dvds.

I popped into Kennedy Street Takeaway for a coffee after shopping across the road at the hardware store. They had a small selection of cakes, slices and muffins that looked to be fresh and yummy although I only had a cappuccino. The cafe had a range of typical cafe/takeaway foods like pastries, sandwiches and other hot food. The service was friendly and I would definitely drop in here again for a coffee and maybe a cake next time!

Lifespace is a one stop online shop for all products related to home storage and organisation. They sell things like drawer and pantry shelves and organisers, baskets, racks, hooks, hanging wall units, clothing hampers, laundry airers, shower caddies, jewellery holders and much more - basically anything you need to organise and store everyday items in your home!

The website is fairly simple to navigate so you can easily find the products that you are looking for. They have a clearance sale section in which you can find reduced products.

The checkout process was a breeze - I was able to use Paypal to pay for my order (they also accept credit cards and bpay I think).

Their prices are fairly good and their postage is quite cheap - it is a flat rate which makes it very affordable considering the bulkiness of some of their products.

Within two days of making my purchase I received an email advising that my order had been posted and provided me with an Australia Post tracking number. My order arrived in the mail two days later, exactly as described. I am very happy to have purchased with them and had lots of fun rearranging my pantry with the new shelves and racks that I purchased!

Approximate cost: $60
