We will be closed a couple of days in the near future.

Wednesday 26 January – Australia Day Holiday. Reopen Thursday 27 January, 8.30am – 12 noon. Have a great day mate!

Tuesday 8 February – Ergon Power Outage. We have to be able to see to serve, and don’t want our product to spoil, so have decided to close as the power will be off 8am for a few hours that day. We will reopen on Wednesday 9 February, 8.30am – 12 noon.

We are having a sale in the Thrift Shop for the rest of January – 25% off all items.

Come in and snap up a bargain. The Thrift Shop is open when the Pantry is open – Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 12 noon. See you soon….

We plan to stay open until 12 midday on Christmas Eve, Friday 24 December, and then will reopen for shopping at the usual times (8.30am – 12 midday) on Tuesday 4 January 2022.

Between Christmas and New Years we will be closed on the Public Holidays (Monday 27 December, Tuesday 28 December and Monday 3 January) for shopping . However, we will have the Loads of Love bags available for distribution between 8.30am and midday on Wednesday 29th, Thursday 30th and Friday 31st December. There will be no fresh food or shopping available during this time.

Loads of Love bags are shopping bags of donated non-perishable items such as baked beans, tins of vegetables and the like which can be given out to those in need. You will have to provide your name and contact number and how many people the Loads of Love bag will help. Please also remember you will also need to wear a mask when collecting your bag, unless the Government guidelines change.

When we reopen in 2022 we plan to have a Sale in the Thrift Shop – more details to come

Merry Christmas and have a safe and prosperous 2022 from everyone at the Pantry – Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!

From next Monday (18 October) we will have 50% off Women’s slacks, trousers and jeans. We seem to have an abundance of these at the moment – come in and snap up a bargain! Also lots of baby clothes, and soft toys. Sorry, the pogo sticks have bounced off-site for someone’s Christmas, but the sleeping bag, car seat and cabinet are still here for sale.

Our resident Test and Tagger has been busy and there are a number of small electrical goods ready for sale. Toasters, irons, dutch pancake makers and some things I am not sure what they are for…… Come in and have a looksee.

Our Winter clothing sale has finished in the Thrift Shop, and we are getting the summer clothing out. We have some nice work shirts and slacks for sale, and an abundance of shoes.

The pogo sticks and baby rocker have been sold, but we still have the cabinet, sleeping bag and car seat for sale. Lots of baby clothes and things too. Don’t forget the Thrift shop is open at the same time as the hamper section – Monday to Friday, 0830 – 12 noon (closed Public holidays).

I have been having a lot of cauliflower cheese lately with the delicious Tatura cheese sauce that we have in the fridge at the moment. I can also recommend the ham tortellini from the freezer……

Hope everyone is enjoying spring!

Hope you coping well with the seasonal changes. We still have our adult winter clothing (not underwear) half price until the end of this week. If you are looking for something to do in the holidays we have a number of jigsaw puzzles (on top of the bookcases) plus two pogo sticks. These are for younger children (see picture below) and are $15 each. Christmas is coming too……

For the even younger children, we have a baby rocker for $50

There is a small white cabinet for $10 and a sleeping bag for $5, as well as a small stroller for $15. Once I get the instruction manual to print (Aarrgghh!), we will have a car seat for $10 – cover needs a wash but otherwise OK.

Don’t forget the Pantry is closed Monday 4 October for the Queens Birthday holiday! Otherwise we will be open Monday to Friday, 8.30am – 12 noon. Safe journeys!

But we are still having our 50% off Winter Clothing (underwear not included) until the end of the month. Lots of bargains to be had. Winter clothes still needed in the morning and on windy days…..

We have a good selection in our fridge and freezer at the moment and have lots of frozen bread available if you have room in your freezer.

Baby cos lettuce in abundance and also a large bin of mixed pumpkins, kindly donated from a local farmer – Thank You!

Also don’t forget, we will be closed Monday 4 October for the Queens Birthday Holiday. Take care and safe journeys.

Its the last day of winter and we are having a 50% off all winter items sale! (Underwear not included) Get in and snap up a bargain before Spring arrives tomorrow…..

Seriously, there are a lot of winter items we need to get rid of before we bring down all the summer clothes, so please come and help us have less to pack away and get a bargain at the same time!

We have a lot of hand knitted beanies in a variety of colours, dressing gowns and all sorts of things for winter.

We also have a set of four white suede armchairs for $60 the set. Very comfortable, and not as cold to sit on as leather…. Some arms and seats slightly stained, but all cleaned up as best we can.

Our QR Code sheets have finally arrived! There is currently one to the left of the front door and one on the front desk.

We will still need to ask you for your name, phone number and how many you are shopping for for statistical and health regulation reasons. (Food recalls etc.). So please ensure you enter by the front door only (NOT the back door), and see our friendly desk staff – even if you are just looking at the Thrift shop. Thanks!

Just a reminder that you can shop as often as you like, and in any combination you like. Whatever works for you. Some shoppers just need fridge and frozen, plus bread, fruit and veges to tide them over, and some need twice the food to manage.

For example, you can get a full hamper as well as a part hamper at the same time. This way you would get the regular dry goods section, as well as double the fridge, freezer, bread and fruit and veges part of the shop. So $65 for a one and a half shop (or $66.30 if you use a card).

Or you could get two full or part hampers at once, so double the items for a full hamper double shop ($80 cash, $81.60 with a card) or double the fridge/freezer, bread, fruit and veges for the part hamper ($50 cash, $51 card).
