If you’re after tools, checking out if you have a tool library available near you could be a good option. Obviously that’s no use if you’re after materials/consumables.
Yeah, I know the tool library near me, but haven’t actually needed it just yet!
But yeah, mostly at the moment looking for timber and other consumables - and advice! Which Bunnings has none of in my experience!
If advice is what you’re after, then Mitre10 is just as bad. They used to have much better service but they couldn’t compete with Bunnings and have been racing them to the bottom. From experience, the Tradie Desk at Bunnings is more knowledgeable but if you want real advice, you’re better off finding your nearest Men’s Shed.

Home Timber and Hardware is always good, especially for smaller offcuts of hardwood.
