My local shopping centre had an upgrade, which was not really needed. Before the upgrade we had a bakery, many specialty small businesses, clothing stores , as well as aldi , foodland and a post office. Now Aldi and foodland , the post office , chemist remain. There are 2 small coffee shops and...

Did you even read this. ? What has it got to do with Woolies or minors. These were adult men, who were definitely not punished enough. I am hoping your comment doesn’t mean that you approve of this animal cruelty.

I agree , bring back the death penalty

Finally a jail term to fit the crime. This man should die in jail.

You’re more likely to find asbestos in old furniture, when there were no regulations. Often the new furniture is made of plastic, but definitely not asbestos.

Petrol is already over $2 a litre in Adelaide, except when on the cheaper side of the cycle

Feel very sad for the child that gets this present that isn’t really a present

I’ve had Afterpay for 5 years , they make no money off me. I’m never late, never miss a payment, so no fees. No interest. I love it

The problem is not Afterpay, the problem is the people who can’t stop buying and then find they have regret or do not have the ability to pay it off. I am on a carers pension and use Afterpay. I use the Afterpay credit card, I have a $4000 limit, which can never be increased. I never make a...

Most of my clothing and furniture is second hand. I mostly now buy from marketplace. Most of my grandsons and toys are off market place. He then sells his used toys on market place, to make some pocket money to buy some more. I always make sure I don’t buy from a secondhand dealer, so still...

I no longer donate to any op shops. I used to shop at our local shops regularly, but when I saw the ridiculous prices on my donated goods, decided to stop donating. Instead, I now have a garage sale once every 6 months. I sell cheaply and buy something for myself or my son. We are both on...

Done that also, but had to leave my phone

I went to shop at my local farmers market. I only shop for 2 and occasionally my grandson. The fruit and vegetables and assorted pastries and dips etc, looked so nice and fresh and so tempting but so expensive. It was only cheaper to buy if you became a member, usually $100 per year. It was only...
