Cheap as Chips

You know, most Cheap as Chips that I have been to are quite good, although I do not really understand how everything is so damn cheap… not that I’m complaining.
Thankfully, this Cheap as Chips lives up to all its counterparts and Torrens Park couldn’t be happier.
The store is quite large, stocking everything that a Cheap as Chips should. It is never overly busy either, and so you can move around quite comfortably. However at times a decent sized cue prevails.
Lastly, the store is pretty much aligned at the extension of the Mitcham Shops (where Foodland used to be). I really enjoy the fact that so many stores, including Cheap as Chips, are now all located in such close proximity.

I love Cheap as Chips, and the Mitcham store is pretty damn good.
They always have lots of stock, and a decent sized pet section, which is one of the main reasons I go to Cheap as Chips.
As Rani mentioned, there are lots of staff, and it isn’t too hard to flag one down if you need help. They usually have a couple on at the registers, which is good cause I hate waiting to be served.

I wasn’t all that happy when Woolworths moved into the Arkaba shopping centre and bumped out Cheap as Chips. Where was I going to pick up my wrapping paper, art supplies and toys at such great prices?
Thankfully, I discovered the bigger and better store at Mitcham. The staff here have always been helpful and are plentiful enough.
I’ve got to be honest, I’ve always been a bit of a closet bargain shopper. I don’t seek out super cheap for everything, but I can’t see the point in paying $ 5 for a kid’s birthday card when I can pick one up for a dollar. The thing is, one by one, people have started saying to me, «I picked this up at Cheap as Chips. Great, eh!?» I reckon maybe, just maybe, it’s starting to get a bit of a cult following with people other than the traditional bargain hunters.
This place is a great variety store. Often if I can’t find it at a supermarket or Big W, it’ll be here. Case in point, suction cup hooks that I stick to mirror to hang necklaces, ribbons and my keys — four pack for $ 2. I’ve also picked up great containers for school snacks — $ 2 for three clear round containers with coloured lids, enough to a kid’s handful of rice crackers or a small snack of tiny teddies (the packets are still a little big in one sitting for my munchkin).
I’ve bought outdoor bamboo screens, toys, bath mats, dvd cases, a makeup holder, extension cords, christmas lights and a fish tank! All at ridiculously cheap prices. I know it all comes from China and we should support local business, but if you’re after a bargain, this is the place and Mitcham has a great range.
Oh, another thing worth noting is the website has a great search facility and can tell you the stock levels of products in different stores. Great for when the catalogue comes out.
