    $15 Kmart appliance leaves shoppers furious as flaw makes it unusable

    I bet my bottom dollar they are using those spray cans of oil. I have no problem with mine as I seasoned it first with oil from a bottle using a silicone brush. It is common knowledge that spray cans are no good on cookware as they build up some sticky substance but no matter how many time...

    Still unsure what counts as squatting? Many are stunned by this $2M home takeover

    I am bemused that some people think it is right to occupy someone else's home that is vacant. I bet if the shoe was on the other foot they would not think that way. In my books if something belongs to someone else, no matter what it is, what right do I have to take it?

    Research reveals baby boomers, retirees invest in cryptocurrency

    I would not touch cryptocurrency because there is nothing backing it and I do not really understand it. Speaking for husband and self we do not need to take any risks now at our age; we have enough money to see us out. I like to sleep soundly at night.

    We live in a gated community with cars in locked garages and so far I have never heard of anyone having a car stolen . Living in Victoria must have people on alert all the time. No wonder many are leaving. Read somewhere that people in Victoria don’t feel safe in their own homes, their...

    I bought the cross body bag for under $7 at a well known Chinese site. I always check online for better pricing as so most of these products are made in Ch8ina.

    ALDI shoppers are divided over tap-and-go fees—where do you stand?

    Honestly some people must live under a rock. I always use cash at Aldi but I know there is a surcharge and it has been there for years. I also know that if you want to avoid that you select savings when you are about to use your card and put in your pin number; not just flash the card over...

    The $100 Million Target: Why Australian Seniors Are Prime Victims in Superannuation's New Scam War

    I do not know why but I never get any scam emails or phone calls re any of this. Maybe it is because in the past any calls that I did accidentally answer got short shrift. I see on my mobile (which only gets turned on once a day to see if doctor etc has left message etc) that I have missed a...

    I find it amazing that so many so called tech savvy have been caught out. Much younger than I am. I treal ALL emails as scams until proven otherwise.
