Daiso Parramatta

I’ll make a bet with you… you can’t walk into a Daiso and leave without buying even just one thing! It’s impossible. Almost Ikea-​like in this regard!
Anyway, everything is $ 2.80. Some stuff is really good value at this price — such as their lunch/​storage boxes etc.
However, some stuff — such as kitchen utensils, tongs, spatulas etc — you can get at K-​Mart for $ 2.00. Quality seems to be about the same too.
Neck travel cushions are great value at $ 2.80 — about $ 10+ everywhere else.
Mops, buckets, batteries, hardware stuff, pet supplies, masses of food storage boxes, pens, notepads… you name it, it’s here. Some of the stuff seems a little dubious in the quality stakes, but a lot of it is great.
Just more stuff to clutter up your apartment/​house/​work desk. You need discipline to come in here — you can’t think «it’s only $ 2.80» because then you’ll get to the checkout like I did and find 14 things in your basket! 3 of which I’ve actually used! Oh well… my fault completely! I like this shop, but I’ll me more careful when I come in here next time! On level 3 of the Westfield Mall in Parramatta.

$ 2.80 everything!
I’m sure you have heard of the stores in your state and if you have yet to visit one i suggest you do!
It’s great for stationary, kitchen, storage container, gift wrapping and other miscellaneous items. I tend to buy some folders for uni here and all my little containers for when i pack my own lunch: P
I did not even know there was a store in Parramatta Westfields until i walked past. It’s located opposite the McDonald’s on Level 3.
Of course you judge for yourself the quality of some of the products and if they don’t feel like they are not worth the price then no need to purchase them.
Overall feel of the store is it seems to be more brighter than the store in Chatswood. Probably due to lighting… yep that’s it.
