From men's and ladies, designer clothing, big range of smart footwear, lots of fashion accessories, kitchen ware, China, glass wear, books and the range just goes on. Every thing is well displayed, in a very presentable fashion, many items are new, yet the prices are extremely affordable. If you have never been to this Op Shop in my opinion it is well worth a visit.

Honestly, it feels like shopping in a boutique. I walked away the other day with two formal dresses (long and elegant) for under $40! I love being able to support great charity work and find great bargains. Will be one of my new regular op shops I think.

Pause, and really really feel what I just said. My Mum and I took my little niece Belle to Ingle Farm Shopping Centre this morning, and we couldn't help ourselves but stop by Kmart to buy a new Wiggles DVD for cute Belle! She had so much fun picking out the DVD that she wanted. Mum was going to get her the red cover 'Best of Wiggles', but Belle chose the yellow Wiggles DVD instead. There really is something about small, bright yellow and pink coloured items in Kmart that my little walking niece always loves touching and has such a fun time with it, I can't explain it. Kmart has a massive range of products, including men's, women's and children's wear; garden; home; health & beauty; outdoor living; entertainment; toys & sporting; camping & fishing; automotive; DIY and everyday needs, Kmart is sure to make anytime a good time, and they achieved that with us this morning! They are also committed to introducing initiatives to reduce our environmental impact and improve the understanding of environmental initiatives to our team, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. I also can't believe I'm the first to review this place, it's been such a massive landmark in Ingle Farm. This place is huge, and one can easily get lost in the aisles. I know I did when I was a little boy shopping here, and I still do today. I was very happy to see that they STILL have all the sports equipment you need too, even after all these years! Basketball, cricket, football, swimming, yoga and table tennis, whatever sport you're into, Kmart has something to offer you! : ) Going to big stores like this, when I'm getting older as a young adult, reminded me and causes you to stop and appreciate so much, of how much I enjoyed shopping and spending time with Mum when I was only a little boy!....those were the happy carefree times when I didn't worry about anything....time goes by so fast and I realised how much less time I spend with my parents nowadays. Sweet dreams, and be nice to your parents today.

Even with the high number of customers, checkout is generally managed quite well. The staff are typically helpful and can respond to any inquiries. My main complaint about Big W is that click and collect is rarely honored, and refunds take longer than one business day. It would be advantageous to charge customers once the order is picked, similar to Amazon's approach. Aside from that, my family and I will keep coming back.

It was less than $20. Okay, so the price isn't that impressive if you bear in mind that you need to buy a new one every six months, because they fall apart, but a good pasta machine is out of my budget anyway, so I don't mind it so much. It's still a good deal. The clothing is alright too. Cheap. You won't win any fashion awards based on anything you buy here, but at the same time, I can buy two week's worth of shirts for the cost of one 'brand' one at one of those douchey menswear stores where all the dudes like waxing their eyebrows and generally being girlier than girls are. I reckon the service here is alright. If you need help, you can find it. The check-out chicks (and dudes, for that matter) are almost universally friendly and chatty.

Both…read moreof these are available, however Spotlight does offer a lot more.This place is a one stop shop for all regular house hold needs, and is open 7 days a week. If you're shopping from bed linen, or after gardening, office or kitchen supplies, you're bound to find something here. Otherwise the variety makes it an ideal place to go Christmas shopping, if you have left things to the last minute. The prices are reasonably cheap, but the quality is excellent. Everything here is advertised on sale, but I'm pretty sure the prices have been bumped up beforehand to compensate.

Hmmm, I have a love/hate relationship with this place, but have given it 4 stars (since I couldn't…read moreselect 3 1/2) because ultimately I can usually get most things I need from here. What I don't like is that this Spotlight is like most of them - MESSY!! It's hard to find what you need amongst the chaos. It's like everything is literally thrown in there with no consideration for organisation or logic. The other thing I don't like are the cheap options for most things - instead of stocking high quality wool, for example, only cheap acryllic and substandard wool blends are available ... but I guess that's what their customers want - they'd go elsewhere if they wanted to step up the quality. And I guess that's what Spotlight is good for. But the sheer range is great! I came here for Velcro, and was faced with more options and colours than I needed ... but at least they had some!! And that's why I keep coming back (albeit reluctantly) ;) I must say their registers have been moved, and this has made the check-out more efficient than it was on my last visit, so that's another plus ;)

DJ's: an endangered species from the mono-lithic period where shopping for couture pieces and…read morespending 3 hours on a Sunday in one air-conditioned department store was "a done thing." Lost in the wilderness, this department store has quickly dwindled in life and breadth of product thanks to encroaching online shopping and competitive, low cost, reasonable quality department stores capturing their consumers. You can still find the rare brand name watch, pair of shoes on sale or makeup in store at a fair price and I love still wandering through the powder puff girls and clouds of perfume on the ground floor (where else can you get such an experience). However, the range, value and poor internal workings of the place mean that it is becoming a forgotten species. This DJs in particular has lost its way, shutting down their fine dining food court and imported produce section and putting on about 1 staff member for every 100 customers so you can never find a damn sales person when you need one (or they have no interest in serving you). Displays are cluttered and floors have been crammed with so many brands you can get in their original outlets or stores that the quality and health of the David Jones "premium brand department store" is lost. The only way I can see this species being brought back from near extinction is to re-instate and connect a fine dining food court to DJ's, add in fancy change rooms, high quality service, cut half their range so high end brands (that you can't get anywhere else) are available to touch and feel and completely refit the place to feel like one of those luxe shopping centres you get in Harrods, Dubai or HK. I hope to see the "day of old" department store return, but first it has to lift it's game.

Wow, I'm really going to go against the tide of popular opinion here but I just have to say it …read more.. David Jones just ain't what it used to be! While the service is ok and the products are alright, I think it's a sad indictment on what we see as good service these days when we expect dodgy service and are almost surprised when we don't receive it. I will admit the service is better than what you'll get in many places but I have a couple of really bad DJ's experiences. I have stood in the electrical department for longer than 30 minutes on two separate occasions waiting for someone to take my money so I could take home a new plasma tv. One guy approached me and told me he didn't deal with the particular brand I was after so he'd get someone else to help me. No-one came! A tip for you ... David Jones will price match so don't be fooled by the fact they seem more expensive than other places. They are as keen to make a sale as the next guy. Apologies for being a negative Nora but I just felt this page needed some balance.

Yes it is just another chain store full of stuff you don't need but I am in a love/hate relationship with this Kmart. The layout is clever. Bloody annoying and sneaky like IKEA - but gosh it's clever. - You can't see over any isle so you have to hunt through the maze of gigantic displays. - They put women's bargain clothing (tops starting at $4) at the entrance. Bright colourful displays that make you think "yes I should start wearing more of this tangerine or fluoro blue in my life." - The store is also double storey so you feel like you are in a luxurious department store that has bargain basement prices. And finally the prices are amazing. You know that when you buy a $4 t-shirt it will last you one season and be 2 sizes bigger after a couple of washes. But hey what the hell it's only $4 right? Consumerism at its best. It is also refreshing to see a good homewares and toy store based in the mall with a really good range of items - something I was complaining about as I trawled the mall just 2 months ago unsuccessfully looking for a present for a 3 year old. Well done Kmart your rebrand is bringing you back into the naughties...you're so bad, it's good.

Kmart has gone downhill in quality with some items and have stopped stocking a few decent brands…read morewhich is quite disappointing and sell poor quality footwear which falls apart quickly. the reason why I have given this review 2 stars is because the boys clothes are quite thick and are probably thicker than big w clothes. what I was pretty impressed about is the boys 7-16 flannelette shirts I bought today were $6.50 each and I bought two of them for $13.00 and in bigw they were $12 each and the material was thinner than the ones in Kmart. what a bargain! but I do avoid buying footwear. pros: Clothes are still of decent quality and very low , affordable prices and some bargains waiting for you. cons: bad quality footwear that falls apart after a wear, tinsel that sheds bits and not many different brands to choose from.

2/12/2007 "Forget" almost rhymes with "Target"…read more Can you serve me? When all your children grow up and leave for University, will you adopt me as your new child? If the answer is no to the above, I will forget you Target. Just joking, I did remember something about you. You have a generous sale for underwear. But you have non-existent service. I don't see anyone around that can help me. So I may not forget you, after all. I like your website though. Facts: The Target story began in 1926 when two men George Lindsay and Alex McKenzie opened a drapery store in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, after signing a partnership the previous year. The store primarily sold dress fabrics, manchester and furnishings. Target now offers customers a range of: fashionable women's, men's and children's clothing, underwear, footwear, cosmetics, fragrances, and accessories; the latest designs in homewares, including manchester, bed linen, electrical appliances and décor; and a full range of toys, games and entertainment - all under one roof! So you better be quick! Remember: their underwear won't last forever.

Why 4 stars for a Target store? Well, I hadn't been to this one for quite a while, so I was…read moresuper-surprised by how clean, neat and tidy it was after being spruced up! It is quite impressive when a self-confessed 'cheap' store makes the effort to renovate so it doesn't actually *look* so cheap - and this one looks great. Very easy to navigate and well signed (I could see where the fitting rooms were easily - unlike other department stores). I do think they needed more staff on the registers during the lunchtime peak period, but the line still moved pretty quickly. I felt like I was in a bank, with the big screens telling us that 'register 6 is free' - bizarre, but still impressive ;)

Finally a women's clothing store that sells sizes from 10 to 24 with a great selection of styles…read moreand colours for any age group and....the prices are excellent. Plus their catch phrase "Keeping It Real" is so true! On this particular visit they were having a nothing over fifty dollars sale, I ended up buying a nice cool cotton blouse reduced from $89.95 to $50.00, so happy with my purchase as I don't buy easily any more. Besides, when I left home in the morning it was on the cool side and by the time mid morning came round the temperature increased and I was boiling, so it was good timing to find the blouse. One prominent brand name stocked at Sorbet and some of you may be familiar with the brand is called Lavender Road. If not, it does contain various styles and colour combinations for the mature casual woman but there are pieces which are suitable for any age group. There are several stores located Australia wide and I noticed in their latest brochure there is a competition to win a trip to the Whitsundays in Queensland! A good enticement to shop in store instead of online!
