Croydon Clearance Centre has got to be the place to go for cheap costumes! You know, pirates,…read moremaids, peter pan, Marilyn Monroe... get my drift? Normally these can be found for around $40 pretty much anywhere, but in this shop there are all $20 and under! You can tell I am seriously impressed by this. The rest of the shop had all the standard $2 shop type objects. There were fake flowers, bracelets and necklaces for only $4 as well as a large variety of home objects such as tupperware containers and sponges. The store is quite large and is completely packed full of objects at really low prices. There were a few tacky objects but in this kind of shop its expected. The staff were hard at work when I went in but the lady at the counter was quite helpful and friendly.

This is where I pick up a cheap toy for the dog, with a section of inexpensive chew toys available, ready and waiting for your puppy to chew to pieces. Most are good quality, and I've found that even though long hours have been spent trying to destroy them, the toys hold up really well. As an avid believer in a good costume party, I've also hit this store up for bit and pieces for costumes. They stock a small range of wigs, dress ups and accessories and as they usually don't last the night, its good to not have to pay too much for these bits. I also have picked up sunglasses form these guys and my current $7 sunnies have lasted me almost a year...whether they are actually UV resistant is anyone's guess, however for $7 I cant complain.

I had been looking for clear suit bags for about a week, and just because I was passing by. I ended up walking out with half a dozen bits and pieces, things I had forgotten I even needed. The owner was a great laugh, joking with everyone in the shop.

This happened the last time I visited Common Cents in Wantirna Mall and it was exceptionally awkward. The service staff had charged the customer too much for their items and the customer cracked it. The pair were arguing for a good ten minutes while I stood behind tapping my foot and waiting to be served. It was frustrating as the service staff member was obviously wrong yet she wouldn't admit it - so much for the customer always being right. The store itself was pretty messy with a dirty sheet blocking off the end of one aisle. Stock in here is typical of any two dollar/homewares style shop with cheap vases, floor mats, buckets, plastic kids chairs and stickers. When I got served and asked for the shops phone number the service staff member was extremely evasive and unhelpful. This was very frustrating. She eventually gave me a 'temporary' number after I said I might want to order something. That is the number I have listed above. Somehow I don't see myself returning to the shop or ordering anything. Browsing the store and being served were both unpleasant experiences.

I've bought a pretty good number of toys for my dog here, and she loves 'em. So if nobody else would recommend the shop, my dog will. Of course, my take on it is that it's an alright shop for what it is. If you need cheap cards and stuff, have a look. Want a cheap torch to keep in the car, check this place out. Service is (and I'm getting tired of using this expression, but if you've been to the shopping centre, you'll know what I mean) typical Knox retail. Good, generally efficient, not terribly chatty.
