    Woolworths customers are outraged after beloved service gets the axe

    How timely! This happened to me last week when I asked for a rainchwck on a sale item I had no idea it had been discontinued. I'm pretty sure Coles still do.

    Never follow these three popular cleaning ‘hacks’, warns a professional cleaner

    I have successfully used bicarb soda and vinegar to remove perspiration stains and odour from s-i-l's shirts (underarm area). I make a paste of water and bicarb, apt it to the affected area, then drizzle a little vinegar over that. It fizzes. I let it dry completely then remove the loose...

    The new Pension Work Bonus rule is taking effect today

    Absolutely. I just object to SDC promoting this article the way they have, as being a $4000 handout to pensioners. Maybe they get some payment from the ads on the pages and the number of mugs like me who are responding. Inviting replies and opinions must be for a reason.. are we just...

    The new Pension Work Bonus rule is taking effect today

    .? What "bonuses" were they? My daughter works for a government department and worked from home. She was paid her regular salary, but I'm sure she didn't receive any of those "thousands of dollars in bonuses ".

    The new Pension Work Bonus rule is taking effect today

    Good grief. What kind of heading is that SDC? "$4000 cash boost to pensioners Poppycock. I agree with the person who asks if you got your journalistic training from rubbish magazines. In fact, I am sorely tempted to unsubscribe from your emails.

    WATCH: Shocking video of a violent outburst at McDonald’s

    ". We hope that authorities can identify this woman soon so she can be held accountable for her actions." It is stated in the video that she was arrested and received multiple charges. No fun for the staff, but who knows the full story? Why do you invite opinions on one sided scenarios like...

    Locals want this creek renamed over concerns of racism. Do you agree?

    How easy it is for privileged white folk to dismiss the hurt and oppression suffered by our indigenous population. Why on earth would you object to name changes of creeks that you don't even know. If it helps to heal some hurt then why not, I say.

    Coles is hiding money-saving clues in their store - here's how to find them

    ? Care to elaborate? I confess I can't see anything listed for nothing. I've been a member of both Flybuys and Woolies Rewards for years. Never have I seen anything offered for nothing. I'm sure we'd all like to know your secret, so in the words of Pauline, please explain?

    Elderly being coerced into drug trafficking by online scammers, police warn

    ? Are you referring to the image showing the scan of a suitcase with hidden drugs? I don't see any art work in this message.

    Woolworths shoppers can triple their rewards points and save hundreds!

    Yes. A long time gripe of mine. Buying bulk gets a cheaper price per kilo on lots of items, but a single pensioner mostly couldn't use that much product and has to pay more. Freezers are one answer, but with electricity prices on the rise, is that cost effective? I think not.

    Woolworths customers are fuming over this 'constant' issue – do you agree?

    Make it 10%. They can afford it. Saving in staff pay, sick leave pay, super, long service leave and holiday pay. Check the salary of the CEO.

    Woolworths customers are fuming over this 'constant' issue – do you agree?

    I agree. It seems to be the same with both Coles and Woolworths, only one serviced checkout open and an enlarged self serve set up. I don't like online shopping either, being at the mercy of the packer, not able to get the occasional discounted item, and not the full availability of products...

    2022-3 Federal Budget: What does it mean for you?

    Yeahh...bloody Labor. Caused the floods, made supplies short, and the Greens when they were in government just ruined us all. Oh wait... when were the Greens in power???? Seriously! Typical.

    Got bananas? Check this quick and easy air fryer banana bread recipe!

    My grandkids love their version of "banana bread" for breakfast. What's unhealthy about this? Nothing in my opinion. Two slices of bread, one mashed banana, one (or 2) egg lightly beaten. Mix the banana and egg, dip the sliced (or 8 x 1/4 squares) of bread in the mix and lightly fry in a...
