    Are Australians living in homes that don’t fit their lives? New data says yes

    I’m very seriously thinking of moving into a retirement village but even that is expensive to get into. The cost of a small 2br is $745k !! I know that the costs of living there and the bills that are covered by them would be more beneficial for me but to have some money to do a few extra things...

    Favourite takeaway extras disappear as new plastic ban targets everyday items

    I’ve seen sets of reusable metal cutlery, knife, fork and spoon, sold in a tin container about the size of a normal glasses case for your handbag. Might be good as stocking fillers for family and friends to get the ball rolling. Certainly better than those ridiculous bamboo things they try to...

    Stop wasting time at Woolies! Discover the secret tip shoppers wish they knew sooner

    My local Coles has just reorganised their entire store and after speaking with several staff that I happen to know we’ve all decided it was done by a mid-20’s male who has never actually done a weekly shop! Nothing in the aisles now goes together. The only thing that we all agreed on is that...

    ‘This isn’t respect’: Veterans question club’s Armistice Day gesture

    Maybe I’m just a wee bit cynical but I’m thinking the club may soon come out with a new shirt that will be acceptable to them and can only be purchased through the club for a ridiculous price. In small towns there’s not always another suitable club available to change to and it’s really hard...

    ‘This cart gave me my independence back’: How one small change in Coles helps wheelchair users shop alone

    Claw grabber would be great for a lot of people, not only those in wheelchairs but they would probably have to come with a crash helmet and legal paperwork saying the customer won’t sue if they accidentally received a concussion or cracked skull. Maybe escalator type shelves where they rotate...

    More cafes are ditching price tags—and the reason isn’t what you’d expect

    How do I know I’ve been charged the correct price for the item I purchased? There may be an itemised receipt but for all I know my raison bread just became a steak sandwich! Nah! Think I’d go somewhere else.

    Member's Question: 'Do seniors get discounts on iPhones?'

    I just got a new one and no I didn’t get a discount. If you’re going from a 7 the iPhone SE is a great phone at a good price, however the 3rd generation of it that is available at the moment is the last SE. The 16e is the replacement for it, which I ended up getting. The reasoning behind this...
