Taree Lifeline Shop

The Lifeline shop in Taree is a fantastic place to pick up a genuine bargain, the likes of which cannot be found in other shops (especially mainstream, for-profit store chains). The store is run by a thrifty, energetic, eccentric businesswoman who clearly cares very much for her customers, her store, and her volunteers.

Second-hand and often even brand-new goods are generously donated on a daily basis, from many local sources. While the availability of any particular type of product will naturally be limited to current circumstances, I've personally found there's always a wide selection of furniture items including couches, armchairs, dining sets, entertainment units, cupboards, drawer chests, beds and mattresses. All in good, clean, proper condition, occasionally with some few signs of wear from their previous home.

Also regularly available is a steady selection of appliances, large and small. Washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, lamps and half the general household electronics you could possibly imagine, like kettles, toasters, bathroom scales, hair irons, and dozens more categories including toys and just a few nick-nacks.

Fine, branded, as-new clothing, crystal glassware starting at 50c apiece, antique dinner sets, and nothing, I repeat that NOTHING in the entire store is priced at an amount even approaching a third of the expected retail price. And usually, much cheaper even than that.

In summation, Lifeline Taree is an excellent place to recycle useful, quality items, where they'll be cleaned and checked, then priced at a pittance for the locals to purchase and continue using. And as a not-for-profit charity, every dime of revenue made by the store is funded back into programs to foster the prevention of suicide in Australia, and to further support Lifeline's transparent cause. It's hard to do better than a bargain that helps other people too, and Lifeline offers that.
