Argos in Oz
I don't know about anyone else but we tend to buy most household things from Argos. Has Oz got an equivalent?

Went to Cash Converters in the end, and just bought a second hand one, bargain!! That's when Mr L missed his Argos catalogue.

Re: Argos in Oz
The first time my Aussie husband went into Argos he wondered what type of shop he was in - he was like 'where's all the stuff'! He's now a convert and will miss it when he goes home!

Re: Argos in Oz
I miss argos..........shopping takes so much longer. I seem to spend half my life wandering round KMart, I am sure the staff think I am some sort of weirdo.
