As for its products - well, take your chances! It's a parallel import heaven! They buy their stuff in bulk at discounted prices - and you never really know what you're going to find. One day you might come across an exercycle, the next some fishing tackle or cleaning detergent. It's truly random - and a lot of it isn't the best quality known to humanity - but at least you can get a refund if it breaks in the alloted timeframe! They also produce their own brand of clothing and sell loads of mainstream CDs and DVDs, games and toys at cheap prices. Their motto is where everyone gets a bargain - and even if you don't come out the door with what you bargained for, you can guarantee that you'll find something - even if it's random junk you never needed in the first place! Occasionally you really will pick up a useful bargain though.

This particular version of the red shed isn't nearly as good as the ones in Paraparaumu, Porirua City or central Wellington. It's much smaller with a more limited range.

Heaps of desserts. $1 donation to enter - prices very reasonable Street parking nearby

Books in NZ are generally pricey but you'll often find specials on offer here - although they tend…read moreto be popular cookery books, gardening manuals etc. Whether you're after wrapping paper, the latest bestseller or a newly released DVD, this is a pretty good starting point. This store is pretty small compared to its posher cousin in Lambton Quay, and its selection is limited - so if you don't find what you're looking for here, take a stroll 15 minutes across town and chances are, they'll have what you're after.

So let's buy a few days of outfits instead! This store is similar to a Macy's or Dillard's back in the States. Cosmetics, ladies wear, shows, kitchen wear, boy's and girl's departments and I managed to find men's wear without too much trouble. I loaded up with some tshirts, socks, undies and brought it to one of the casheiers who rang it up for a total of NZ$125, which is about US$70. I carried it all back to the hotel, laid it out and then changed my mind. This is too much money and I don't have room for it in the suitcase. So yes, I found a laundromat instead. First thing in the morning, I was back in the shop. A different cashier rang up my return and I was back in business. Super easy and no problem since it was all still in its packaging.
