    If even charity shops are pricing us out…what happens next?

    The Salvos staff are PAID a wage. They are not volunteers. That is the reason they give for charging such high prices for donated goods. Other OpShops are staffed by Volunteers - no wages. Shop rentals have risen and electricity prices are high, so the organisations still hv to pay. As single...

    It’s come to this! Fruit shops now need signs to stop shoppers from snapping broccoli

    I’d like s/mkts to charge double for these “snap-off cheats”, then charge me half price for taking the stalk bits! The stalk bits are excellent and loaded w vitamins, fibre and goodness. Just remove the hard outer layer, then slice or chop and toss them into stir-fries, casseroles, a quiche, a...

    Popular cooking show faces shock exit as mystery sacking fuels speculation

    What a crock! It was years ago! So nasty little “oik” of a creep clearly has a vendetta against him. He did not do or say anything untoward in this program, so LEAVE HIM ALONE. We are so fed up this garbage of wanton WOKE DESTRUCTION of people’s lives for something allegedly do or said so...

    'Is it unreasonable to refuse a handmade gift from my niece?'

    How old is this spoilt child? 12? So appallingly rude, and very, very nasty to try to FORCE her rubbish onto you when you’ve already said No and stated why. What an entitled creature. This is what they do now - to get their own way. It is nasty, planned, insidious and intentional. Simply...

    Is your favorite $6.50 bread spread on the recall list? Popular supermarket issues urgent warning!

    Proves we must read every label on every product. I will NOT support imported products even though Coles tries so hard to CHEAT Australians out of a job and livelihood this way. I want Aussie grown food!

    The shocking danger hiding in clothing donation drop boxes—what happened to one Florida woman will make you think twice

    Not the first time a person has died inside a clothing bin and will not be the last. Politicians are so focussed on getting votes by rushing citizenship ceremonies through without checks, and granting themselves pay rises for “working hard” that there is no time to do their bloody jobs.

    Nearly half of Aussies support legalising cannabis—do you?

    Absolutely! Back when Gillard started fiddling w Cigarette packaging and the prices vastly increased ( thanks LABOR), a lot of ppl said that by making ‘smokes’ too expensive to buy would sent the use of marijuana skyrocketing. We were sooo right. The thing is that w cigarettes you are not so...

    You’re not imagining it! Pepsi did taste different, and here’s why

    No way will I drink anything containing these chemical sweeteners. If Pepsi wants to lower the sugar content, then LOWER IT! Do NOT put POISON into any drinks. These ‘sweeteners’ are literally sickening - they make me SICK 🤢. Cannot touch them and do not want to either.

    58,000 Aussies in caravans get payment clarity under Centrelink’s latest update

    Well before I hit 65, the nasty unhelpful ratbags at Centrelink told me, YELLED at me that there’s as no way Centrelink ever gave any financial advice to anyone. That’s not their job If I wanted any firm if financial advice or assistance I had to find a fibs feel consultant and pay for it...

    Shoppers reconsider $15 Kmart winter buy after unexpected warning

    The smaller the heater, the higher the electricity use and the ‘bill shock’ will be staggering! Do not buy these cheap & very nasty items. It is not worth it!

    ‘It smelt like vinegar': You’ll never guess what one cinema-goer had to deal with

    Sheer laziness by management is disgusting! So many ppl now live w compromised immunotherapy conditions that situations like this is literally putting their lives in danger! Bet the reason this vile situation has not been addressed is purely INSURANCE! If they make a claim to rip out and...

    You won't believe what these famous sitcom spouses look like now—see Hollywood’s golden couple reappear after years out of the spotlight!

    Loved Paula Prentiss. Her speech pattern and vocalisation always fascinated me. She was sooo entertaining, a really good funny actress. I wish our boring FTA TV would re-run series like this one. Call them “The 60s Revisited” or “The Way it Was”. After all Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, and MASH...
