I have been going down to Costco North Lakes since it opened, taking pictures, looking around, keeping an eye on things which includes what people are paying for petrol at Costco and I have to say the Costco petrol price at North Lakes has been great for us so far.

I have a work vehicle so I use this during the day but we do have a family car which the Bride uses for work and as the kids taxi as most of us do.

It is a fairly big car and so, a little thirsty on the gas (Not as bad as VW’s though, but that is another story….), so any savings or filling up at the top of the price cycle of fuel helps us out and puts a few more dollars back into our pocket.

It usually costs over $100 to fill our car and we have to do it about once or twice a month generally so Costco petrol station coming to the Brisbane Northside area was a bit exciting after doing plenty of reading on how cheap it was to buy.

We got our memberships and so we were just waiting for the car fuel to be down and the light just coming on so we can fill up the tank again, we went to Costco a few times before this and I have to tell you now, after going to the opening day, the traffic is still really bad during most peak times through the week and just ridiculous at certain times over the weekend, so I can say this….

Time your run if you are travelling to Costco North Lakes and make sure you allow for extra time too so you won’t be stressed if you do get caught up in the traffic jams and also the long lines that are still occurring to get membership cards.

To find the Gtrax Barber in Redcliffe to get a haircut you have to keep your eye out for the street and keep an eye out for a car park too when you get in the area.

It also is called the “Gtrax Urban Style Barbers” if you are trying to find it in your search engines to get more information.

I went past Baker Street once and had to come back but found it in the end.

It is down a little street that runs through from Sutton Street to the main beach road which is Redcliffe Parade, with no parking in front of the shop you have to makes sure you find a car park reasonably close, which isn’t a problem in the area as there are many and you only have to walk a short while to get into the shop.

You can either phone and book or just walk in with Gtrax Barber which suits if you are just heading in at lunchtime or just after and don’t have an exact time you can be there.

There are quite a few barbers that work too on the busier days so Gtrax keeps on top of their clients and there isn’t much waiting.

I arrived just after lunch, was welcomed when I arrived and took a seat to wait, there were two barbers on today and both of them were cutting when I arrived.
