Life Goods

Life Goods is one of those stores that should be on every corner. It is a «general» store that just seems to stock everything that one would need for life! What I like, is that provide across a number of household needs; home-​wares like Japan Home Centre, stationery like the mom and pop shops, hardware like the guys on Wellington Street. It seems that if you need anything, you can get it here.
It is moderately cramped in the store, I suppose the stock has to go somewhere, so if you have shopping bags or a ruck sack, be careful! There are two floors, with mainly stationery, kitchen-​ware, and hard ware downstairs, and bigger home-​wares upstairs, like ironing boards and plastic boxes.
Some of the store highlights include; photo albums, plastic boxes, paint pens, plastic spiral key chains, lots of carabiners, toys, and decorations, and a few items that I would not have expected, including; gas torches and soldering kit for plumbing, and thick transparent plastic sheeting, like stuff they drop down the sides of the junk boats to stop the splashes coming in.
The staff are very friendly, if not a bit difficult to spot as they don’t wear any uniform, and will help you to get out stock, or cut rolls of linoleum. The prices are very very reasonable, basically cheap as chips, so fill your boots!
The store is also very close to Tin Hau station, so only a short walk if you are carrying a plastic box full of stuff!
