Never thought I would be one to go into a health food shop. But I heard about these amazing multi…read morevitamins that give you super amounts of vitamin B and lots of energy, and they can only be supplied by a naturopath, not a pharmacy. So along I went to Go Vita on Marrickville Road, who stock the Tresos B PluSe in lots of different sizes. I got a jumbo jar of 150 tabs for about $70. The great thing about Go Vita is that you can become a member for free and then get discounts every time you shop. They also send emails and text messages about special days in the month where if you shop on that day you get a whopping discount, sometimes 30-50 per cent. The staff are extremely friendly and always make conversation outside the shop transactional talk. They also recommend other products they have available and give free samples.

Some of the items are actually 50% off from normal chemist (pharmacies). The intriguing thing here is I saw liquid products like fish oils instead of the tablet or capsules. There are also weekly discounts on certain items and you can stock up your needs accordingly. The store also carries different ranges of perfumes. First time I saw Mercedes-Benz's range of fragrances. The staffs are rather friendly and they will guide you to wherever you need to find the product. Cashier wise, depending on how many customers and how many staffs, it might be slower. Overall, it was a nice stopover and managed to get my essentials (tooth paste, centrum and lip balm) for less than $30. Score!! :)

Great shop for your running needs. They have a wide range of mens and womens running shoes and…read moreapparel, and they have clearance deals every once in a while. The shoes are stocked on their shelves in an organised way and it is relatively easy to find a size once you've chosen the model you want. Fitness First members get an additional 20% off already reduced prices. My husband and I were able to get fairly new models of running shoes for $64 each, which is actually cheaper than US prices. The shoes I bought are listed at DSW for US $79.95. The staff are friendly and helpful, one of the sales assistants was very obliging in helping us find the size for the shoes we wanted because we couldn't find one on the shelves. In fact, they come up to you when they see you looking at shoes and let you know that if you can't find your size on the shelf, they'll check if they have it in their stockroom. I know it's their job but I've found the staff at other outlet stores to be unhelpful or grumpy, so for me it's a plus that they have good sales assistants.

Hey Standard Store, aren't you fancy?…read more This new flagship shop on Crown Street directly next door to The Trinity has definitely got "cool" in its bag. A friend of mine enthusiastically recommended it to me and said I must, must check it out. So check it out I did. I found some very interesting, "out of the norm" garments in here. I was told afterwards that most of the shop's styling is European, which makes a lot of sense. Lots of quirky pieces fill the racks, most with interesting embellishments or asymmetrical necklines. I was drawn to a patchwork and lace cardigan, but had to catch my breath after realizing it was near the $300 mark. Not that it isn't worth it, I just didn't quite see it coming. If you're after shoes, jewelry or accessories, Standard Store has a few options here, but not a ton. They are definitely taking a minimalist approach to stocking the shop, but there's probably a sales tactic here that I'm just not aware of. That or the rest of their European shipment is being held up in Australian customs.

The Standard Store just opened in September of this year in a little heritage building in Surry Hills. It's the flagship of the Flying Standard Distribution agency, which sells various European brands. When I walked in, there was just one employee who was helping the only other customer in the store. She didn't even glance my way to welcome me or ask me if I needed assistance, which is surely not polite service. The store itself is cute, minimally decorated, and reminded me of a miniature version of Urban Outfitters (though much more organized). Their inventory of clothes is quite small, but they do carry basics like shirt, jeans, and shoes. I saw less than ten different brands in the men's section, though there appeared to be a bigger selection for women's apparel on the opposite side of the room. Sifting through the clothing racks, I saw $150 striped shirts and $300 cardigans. I like how they carry uncommon labels, but that doesn't detract from the unjustifiably high prices. Despite liking several things I saw, I can't picture myself rushing back here for any reason.

Love this shop! Prices can be a bit steep, but otherwise it's wonderful and I love going there!!!read more

Ease of the pressure and wander around this store to be amazed at the alternates to chocolates and coffee that are available. There are also different types of ginseng powders to add to hot drinks and groovy energy guarana lollies. Irresistable right? You do have reason to celebrate, especially if you are an incense lover - there are all the top favs and more,in granules not incense sticks. Purifying white sage is available in liquid spray form or dried leaves. I left the store beaming after chatting away to the awesome sales assistance who was very open and welcoming, my top buy would definitely have to be the Blue Lotus petals I will be adding them to tea or wine for a relaxing evening in.

This pharmacy is fairly big and has a bit range of toiletries and other personal care products -…read morenot just the prescriptions and pain killers. It is marketed as a wholesale pharmacy, and some items if on sale are definitely cheaper than in the supermarkets or other pharmacies. I was going there for this exact reason, I buy Nutraplus moisturiser (lots of it) and it is wholesale around $27. This place was selling it for this price for a while, but then jacked it up to over $32. I can buy online for cheaper, so that's what I am doing, but I would prefer to buy locally and support local business where possible. Anyway, the whole sale price has not increased online so I don't know why these guys are selling it for so much. That aside, there is a GP in the back of the shop, which is really handy if you need to see someone about a minor ailment and then you are straight in the pharmacy to fill the prescription. So convenient!

This place carries my highest recommendation for personal products and general medical care in Newtown!
