K-mart, Marrickville Metro

Was looking for a column heater for those chilly nights. Saw a price-check machine in the toy section. Saw people taking boxes and things and lining up to scan the barcodes for the prices. One kid was happy with the price and exclaimed loudly that he could afford the item. Saw all these kid spy gadget toys, where you can listen to conversations some metres away using a device that's 'disguised' to look a CD player, and there's the night vision glasses and more, and these items are now just kid's toys. They also have a range of new release book titles selling for 35% less than retail prices. That's a pretty good deal.
