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.

This location draws a wide variety of people from the surrounding area and becomes quite busy…read moreduring peak times. If you want to be quick and effective, I suggest arriving just after trading starts in the morning. It's pleasant to be welcomed at the entrance by a staff member, and the customer service is excellent, given the significant challenges they regularly face. I think the products are good if you know what to search for; however, some items fall short, like finding an umbrella or a reliable backpack. But for socks, underwear, and basic clothing, it definitely gets my approval.

I wouldn't blame them if they get bored since the technology is pushing the employees to the side. Manager probably likes the idea of people shop lifting. Only Lowered star rating for having a pay point in the middle of the shop, encouraging employees to double check people at the door, which is not easier to prove that extra things aren't in the piled high trolley. So move the pay point to the front, or at least be more realistic, and use that extra space better than the yellow pages is right now.

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.

Expensive eco Yes…read more"being green" is cool and what most of us aspire to achieve most of the time however this is not the store to encourage mainstream eco/organic use. Having been a big fan of Waste Not Want Not on Goodwood Rd, Goodwood for many years I was disappointed to hear that high rents in Unley had forced their re-location recently to Old Reynella. Looking around for a local alternative I ventured to Magill. Ecolateral has a good variety and I agree the owner/manager is nice however the prices are generally prohibitive and I decided that a trip down south would still be cheaper despite the fuel cost. If you are desperate you can probably find what you are looking for if you are prepared to search a bit. You will find eco lines in most health food stores and at the Adelaide Central Market. Better still make a short detour on your next trip to the south coast and visit Waste Not Want Not!

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.

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 ;)

Love Affair is actually a bit of a surprise. You have to pass the chicken shop, and the Cafe Primo, and the Blockbuster, and the Eagle Boys, and then at the end of this suburban dream shopping centre you find: funky high end fashion. Who knew? The shop is small but packed full of stuff and from what I can see they have a high turnover, not unlike my handbag and chocolates. While I'm not a fashionista I have noticed that they have one-offs and quirky pretty things that you wouldn't find anywhere else. They also always have sales racks at the front with really nice stuff too. And the store name: provocative isn't it? Makes you want to buy a dress. And some condoms. Good store.
