For many of us, childhood trips to Woolies were the pinnacle of any weekend. Where else could you eat so many sweets from the pick 'n' mix that you felt sick, whilst also picking up some cool new toys or bits of stationary?Not forgetting the Ladybird clothing range and of course, the singles cassette chart. MFI Unfortunately, MFI doesn't have as many positive connotations as Woolworths. MFI was the shop parents dragged their kids to, kicking and screaming, whenever a new sofa or bed was needed. Hardly the most thrilling Saturday outing, although you could run around the huge store playing hide and seek.
