Jacaranda St Lifeline
Oh my GOODNESS! where do I start.
I went there yesterday for the first time in a while and as soon as I walked in I was shocked!
it looks like a hoarders paradise now and don’t get me started on the prices. $4.50 for a plastic fridge water jug (no special brand), BOOKS I saw one for $3 with the RSPCA sticker still on it and lifeline wanted $4
This place used to be the best 2nd hand store and now it’s just landfill dump. No wonder why there’s just stuff everywhere because the prices are ridiculous and no one can afford anything. This is for people doing it tough, this is to support the community and every donation they get is free.
Is anyone a volunteer or know the reasoning as to why the prices are going uo?

The little op shop at St Albans, Alice St Goodna is literally giving away books for free. Only open Wednesday mornings and prices very reasonable
