Crayfish? We have Lobsters here in Sydney or maybe Yabbies but not Crayfish.

I see absolutely no reason to take any animal (Guide Dogs obviously excluded) into any shop. I have an aversion to dogs and I loathe some dribbly dogs coming up to me and slobbering over my clothes & shoes. I also dislike the probability of using a trolly which has had a dog inside, which the...

I dish wash. She re-washes. The dish washer only does a 95% job, there is always unwashed section of dishes, no matter if I use the most expensive 'no need to pre-wash' or the cheapest ALDI or Woolies tablets. Admitted I live in a rented property & the landlord did install the cheapest they...

If you buy generic items from either Woolies or Coles you will find that Aldi works out dearer. People compare generic with name brands. For some reason they do noy buy generic rom regular stores but are happy to have cheaper quality items from ALDI. Go figure.

Air Fryers are just small ovens. Problem is you need three or four air fryers to cook a halfway decent meal, even for two people, a family of 5? at least 6 Air Fryers will suffice.

Pity the titles are so short. You would thing that a Grandiose Title would have Grandiose wordings

In order for the public to know just what is being discussed, Lidia should provide a full list (brands quantities etc) of what was bought were. Aldi has fooled the Australian Public since it arrived 1015 years ago. It sells generic products which are the same quality as generic products from...

Supermarkets charge a premium. We pay for and should receive full checkout service. If a discount were given for self serve (15% sounds fair) I would gladly use self serve. I do object to having to get an assistant? to clear the machine because I left an unused shopping bag, or god forbid, a...

Meat products from most of the Australian Groceries have meat for sale in plastic trays which are decidedly convex. The reason they are filled with presurised nitrogen. If the package is concave that is a signal not to eat,
