Op-travaganza #8

I visited the new Salvo's store today in Mitchell (just down the road from the old store) on Hoskins Street.

A much nicer store. Pros include:

*Better lighting
*More logical layout
*Bigger space
*Heaps of stock
*Video's, DVD's and CD's are set up really well
*plenty of room to get around with a pram or stroller.







Cons:

*Books have just been shelved where ever. (The best op shop for book by far is the one next door to Rubee's in Belconnen.)
*Trickier to park the car
*furniture is still a cramped space. Couldn't even get in with a small stroller.


I managed to grab this time:

*gorgeous candle $1
*brand new Christmas t-towel $1
*puppy toy .20c
*Tonka truck for Squealy $3
*brand new Bob the Builder set: $1
*Lord of the Rings book $3 (husband Deluxe was impressed!)
* 3 kids books $1

Total spend: $10.20

Salvo's have 3 kids books for $1 at the moment.
