Save the Children Dandenong

Absolutely ridiculous pricing. With those prices, no chance adequate funds are being raised for the intended purposes. If the funds are being raised to support vulnerable children, why not price items at a price most op shoppers visit op shops for so the items sell. Appauling

You’re not keeping anything out of landfill with those prices! Less is MORE! You could rotate stock regularly if it was cheaper! You’ve put out the EXACT same stock you had this time last year that you didn’t sell! HELP your community by also letting kids be clothed PROPERLY not ripping off families that may not know Anko is Kmart, where you can get $2 tops from -You’re charging $5 With stains! Your furniture is outdated & broken.. your electrical items are DIRTY! $90 for an old microwave?! Come on guys, hard rubbish is better!

An excellent range of books. And top shelf service by the woman that rang me up. I'll definitely be coming back to buy from this great op shop again.

Lots of bits and pieces here… was looking for trinkets and broken sparkles for art project. Picked a bunch of pieces from the $2 tray and got charged $3 for 3 of them as they were ‘put there by mistake’… some $28 teacup/scone sets. Pricing at the whim of the 50+ yr olds, with no budging on items. Really not good for pricing, but got a few things I wanted.

As a single mum, I used to love visiting this op shop regularly. It was affordable a few years ago. These days, everything is heavily overpriced. While whoever runs this google business will likely respond stating that the prices are, “reasonable and donations go towards assisting children in Australia and beyond”, I can assure you, the prices are anything but reasonable. Amidst a cost of living crisis, mortgage paralysis and a housing crisis right here in our LOCAL community, people are struggling to make ends meet and rely on op shops to purchase much-needed clothing and home necessities. There are everyday people right here on our front doorstep, who are finding themselves financially crippled. There are also those who are making an effort to reduce landfill and recycle clothing, or simply looking for a bargain. In October I saw two identical pairs of leggings, both brand new, both size xs. One was priced $15, the other $45. They were exactly the same, with a $30 price difference. The prices at this op shop are ludicrous. There are far more affordable options nearby, which I would encourage others to explore.
