    'I was SO devastated': Why shoppers are upset with Target's Christmas range

    'I was SO devastated': Why shoppers are upset with Target's Christmas range

    Sometimes one has to wonder who writes this sort of nonsense. Go into a op shop around Christmas time and you can sometimes pick up beautiful decorations, which were made years ago and very good quality. If anyone ever experiences a child or grandchild being diagnosed with cancer, then they...

    ALDI delivers knockout blow to supermarket giants with $900+ annual grocery savings

    I agree with you re meat. I don't like the look of it in Aldi. I find lots of reduced meat in Coles and woollies at the end of the day. All 3 supermarkets are very close to each other, so competition is good!

    FAST AND CHEAP: Will this retail addiction in Australia bite back hard soon?

    That is good to know Toni. I bought my son a T-shirt for Christmas a couple of weeks ago from David Jones. It is made in Australia and originally it was $200. I got it for $50. I bought it because it looked and felt nice and made in Australia. We will see how it wears. I can't believe anyone...

    Call for change: Is it time to reform the Work Bonus for pensioners?

    Karen, have you thought of volunteering if you miss social contact? I have recently retired and volunteer once a week, but could do more if I wanted to do so. So many organisations are crying out for help. I really enjoy my one day and it is very social. Just a thought!

    There are plenty of people who run successful self managed super funds. These people are all stupid and greedy are they? Envy is alive and doing well!

    Scammer steals $44,000 in just 25 minutes with clever maneuver

    I wouldn't get too upset Veg. I feel for this lady, but as you point out, we are constantly warned about scams and how not to click on links etc. We didn't grow up with computers and appear to be easy targets. Unfortunately scams will continue because there seems to be an endless supply of victims.

    Wow, what a disgusting thing to write because you don’t agree with more than 70 million Americans! Your mother must be so proud of you!

    Elder widow finds herself caught in trouble involving payment scam

    I have no problem being rude to scammers, once you ask them a few questions they come undone very quickly. Not much you can do about scammers. They have always been around but modern technology has made it very easy for them.

    No one can force you to do anything, we all have choice. I never answer numbers I don't recognise. If the call is important, a message will be left.
