Lifeline Superstore Browns Plains

I regularly support this store and the young shop assistant is a Lovely friendly person. I just donated some items and your Saturday afternoon volunteers are so rude. I ask a question about whether your store accepts heaters and fans and I was quite prepared to take them somewhere else if it’s a safety issue. All one woman could do was grunt at me and the other one ignored so I’m assuming it was a yes.

Dated 24 March 2026! I’m usually a fan of supporting Lifeline, and I have to give credit where it’s due: this Browns Plains store is exceptionally clean, neat, and well-presented. The layout is organized, and it doesn't have that cluttered feel many thrift shops do, which makes the browsing experience quite pleasant. However, the pricing is a major letdown. In the current economy, you expect a charity shop to offer a reprieve, but seeing a basic shirt from Willow Tree (a common wholesale label) priced at $45.00 is quite a shock. Many items here are priced surprisingly close to or even higher than brand-new retail equivalents from stores like Kmart or Target. They really need to implement a boutique area for higher-end labels and cap standard pricing at a more accessible level, ideally no more than $15 for general items. It’s disappointing to see donated goods marked up so high that they’re no longer accessible to the community they are meant to support. While the store looks great, the "boutique" price tags unfortunately outweigh the "op shop" value.

The shop itself is nicely laid out and pleasant to browse, but getting here can be a hassle. Parking is very tight, and if you don’t snag a spot early, you might be out of luck. Unfortunately, the prices are surprisingly high—often more expensive than buying new—which really takes away from the appeal. The radio in parts of the store is also far too loud, making it hard to browse comfortably. Stock quality can be hit-and-miss, so it’s not always worth the trip.
