I do not need to know about your sex life, Lisa. I was being rhetorical.
Whenever feasible, walk inside the Salvation Army or St Vincent de Paul's charity shops. They are clean and air-conditioned. I do not buy DVDs brand new unless it is hard to get elsewhere. I bought 4 seasons of a tv show for $4 each. Otherwise, I would be paying something like $20 per season on special at DVD stores.
Hey you're the one who started on my sex life. I merely told you it was inappropriate and irrelevant to this topic.
Look if these Op shops are your thing then that's a matter for you. Personally speaking I would never EVER buy anything from these places. I don't have to. Also i can buy awesome stuff on sale from Myers and even Target, Katie's, Sussan etc as I have rewards cards with these stores which entitle me to further discounts (on the stuff they've already discounted).
Now that I think of it ... JB Hi Fi is hubby's go to place for games and DVDs etc. He takes the kids there every so often and they buy all sorts of stuff. They have half yearly sales I think.
As for books and magazines ---> Big W mainly OR online. Big W has regular bargains every so often and I buy up big time. As a rewards member I collect points when I spend money at Big W and of course Woolworths.
Edit : I have a checklist of comparison sites which target the best deals in town for anything we want or need. I save a lot of money because I order after sourcing the best price available for a certain product online AND that comes to me .... with free delivery. So the added bonus is : no petrol costs AND no risk of contracting Covid19.
