Originally the "free fruit for kids" came into being as part of a contractual clause when Jamie Oliver agreed to be a face for Woolworths . This was about fifteen years ago, i believe it is up to the individual store managers, or area managers now. No, in my opinion, if this is not offered in...

The Coles Smeg kettle offer is running hot on facebook today!

Clearly living in one of these "resorts" is not for everyone. My husband and i have lived in one for the past five years and we hate it. We choose to keep to ourselves and don't use the facilities we have to maintain our home ourselves apart from the front nature strip and communal areas. We...

I had a Heinz ketchup bottle explode just the other week. I am wondering if it also has something to do with these upside down style of bottles. I have never stored my tomato sauce in the fridge never before have i had a problem. Certainly made a mess, even all over me and my still wet hair.

I have two daughters, both got brand new cars when they got their licenses, so we knew they were in safe cars. We helped with a furniture package when they left home. However, when it came to weddings we only contributed a couple of thousand dollars to each. In my mind weddings are a total...

This is definitely happening, just had friends looking for a rental. Upon enquiring about a property (that had previously been advertised ), friend informed the poster that she thought this was a scam. The poster said, wasn't their property and was acting as a go between. Yes, was reported...

I notice the people seated in front are wearing thongs, so really where is there a difference? Personally for me, i would be more offended with the thongs, i can't stand the sight of them! But, yes, perhaps wait for the lights to be dimmed.

Totally agree with what you have said Catherine, as i said, a concession card may apply to us. I would think that we would be referred to as self funded, not pensioners. Our circumstances are similar to yours.

I agree with all who stated that this was a case of greed! However, i have a question regarding the headline to this arcticle, it says " Pensioners". Just wondering if and how they actually qualified as pensioners? Surely they would have been seen to have too much in assets to access any...

Nothing new here! This is a "seasonal" price drop, come June there will be a change to these " price drops "and another 400 or so products will come into play. It is also time for new planograms to be introduced, so watch out for things to be moved around on the shelves, with some new...

What about all the offers for interest free periods? Harvey Norman etc repeatedly offer up to 60 months interest free. People seem to forget that there are monthly costs and applicable fees attached to these offers. In the long term you have paid hundreds if not thousands above your purchase...

My soon to be 40 year old daughter has just given up her i phone. She now has a basic Nokia that even has a limit on text messaging. She made the switch about a month ago and said mentally she feels so much better. She was constantly complaining of high anxiety and depression. She says she...

I used to manage a Woolies meat department located opposite a pub. We had junkies regularly raid our stock, usually lamb cutlets and eye fillet. They would then head to the pub and sell it off or exchange it for drugs! In 1980 i remember an elderly woman wearing fur and diamonds was caught by...

Check the spines of recipe books if you store them in your pantry! I had an on going issue with these critters in Melbourne. Now in NSW Mid North Coast and fruit/vinegar flies are my bane.

I can't help but think this is BS, look at what it says on the lid! " I know i put it somewhere".
