In a suburb that's generally considered to be one of the 'classier' ones, it's nice to see a cheap $2 shop to bring us all back down to earth. Yes, it's just a cheap tacky store filled with cheap tacky crap but I have still managed to be incredibly disappointed by Lucky Star.
I recently bought a set of fairy lights from here for around $15, headed home and hung them up in the backyard... Less than a minute later all of the power in my house switched off and wouldn't come back on until we called an electrician.
The next day I returned the lights and asked for a refund which I was rudely refused despite the efforts of the previous night. Yes, perhaps I shouldn't have bought something electric from a pound shop but still, come on!
You can get some great two buck shops, but Lucky Star is not one. read more
