| 1197996 | 2011-04-28 23:55:00 | May not sell at exactly $2, but carry a lot of stuff for cheap? The nearest $2 store is unfortunately 7km+ away from where i live, any savings i make there would be spent on transportation. I've heard of people getting cheap and good watch leather straps there and wanted to see if i could find a similar kind of store that also sells straps. I've seen a daiso store on queen street, and will check there at the next available opportunity, but in the meantime, does anyone know of other stores that are similar? I've also seen leather straps at regular watch stores and Mr Minit in auckland, but the prces seem a major rip off, and they charge $10 to change the strap for you (sets off alarm bells). |

Same thing, cheap as dirt. very handy too. Heh, unfortunately henderson road is 77km away. I live in Parnell. I did see a chinese "gift shop" in new market though, that's where i will try next time i go down there. |

The seedier parts of downtown have a few though. And yes, some of it is junk, but some of it is great. Cards for instance, all kinds $1 each. Leather belts $4. Real leather too. |
