This isn't shopping, it is a gift. I love them so much I decided to share. They measure 60ml, 30ml, 15ml and 5 ml.

Sports shoes $8 big W, a new school jumper $4, socks $8, thongs $3.20 x 2 for the kids, gold polo for sports day $4. Seriously so cheap! It makes me sad. All I think about is the slave labour :( I hate to think I'm contributing to it. I just had limited time to run around to heaps of shops getting it all.

I agree, too cheap.  It would be good to know who doesn't use "slave" labour.  I know a lot of the boutiques do also but don't charge corresponding prices.  A fair price for all, maker and seller.

Agreed! If only it was printed like ingredients on the back of a can. I try to buy as well as I can. I avoid Kmart for this reason. However myer, target it's probably all the same :/

Target has a sale on homewares/bedding, so after Miss 12 complained she has been cold at night I bought her a new doona. Plus mattress protectors, pillows and new wellies as mine have a hole in them and I get soggy socks.

Does anyone know where to get dog beds online from that don't cost an arm and a leg to post? Picked out one the other day and I need 3 - they wanted to charge me over $200 for postage!  :o Needless to say I emptied that shopping cart real quick!

Just thought someone in here may have an idea, I am a tad confuzzled after trawling through so many pet shop sites :-))
