My daughter signed up for Every Plate, and initially it worked out well, but by about week 5 or 6 it was up to $60 for 3 meals for 2 - $10 a meal, so she is now using the recipe cards to shop and it is working out well. Another idea: When my hubby was in hospital a couple of years ago I was...

Not really relevant to many seniors, BUT: I think a better option is to campaign the government to cancel GST on menstural products! If I remember rightly, condoms do not attract GST but sanitary pads do!! Ridiculous!!

In Woolworths this week I bought a pack of pork loin steaks with a red sticker saying PRICES DROPPED. on closer inspection, and in small letters it said Since 2/6/21!!! Now, that does not look like a special price to me!!

I can't see why we should all be excited by this? It does nothing to assist anyone, and most would not know it is 40 years anyway. Just a bit of back patting with no economic benefit for us.

I can relate to that!

I find putting a jar or bottle with a bit left in upside down in the fridge or pantry, the last bit settles just above the lid and is easily scooped out when needed.

We lived in Hong Kong for many years but with the troubles in 1989, decided to emigrate to Australia via our families in England for Christmas. It was our children's first winter in England, there was snow (a first) and it was freezing cold (not like they were used to). But they got to spend...

I agree with the comment from Coles that 'someone' will be available at the manned checkout. "someone' in the singular being the operative word in my experience! Also, the 'someone is inevitable housed at the checkout which is the furthest from the self serve area, meaning a lengthy walk for...

I'd love to find a Woolies with capsicums of any colour at less than $6 per kg!

And Kmart now have these stupid payment hubs half way down the store, and a poor staff member scanning your receipt before you can leave the store! How bizarre is that?

I rarely use the self-checkout and always have problems, needing help from the poor employee in the area who is usually rushed off their feet with customer issues. BUT at our local Coles there are usually only 1 or 2 manned checkouts available, with a) Long queues, and b) usually located at the...

We have a Sunday Market stall, and it is surprising how many stall holders selling large costly items, accept eftpos on their phones. We sell jams etc, starting at $2 and DO NOT have eftpos, but many customers don't bring cash with them!! My philosophy is 'Cash is King!" and there is no way I'll...

May be good for those in the big cities BUT: Townsville to Brisbane - the cheapest next week is $255 one way!! Not a bargain for those of us who live out in the sticks!!!

I am certainly not impressed by this initiative! It seems the idea is to raise other prices to pay for these discounts. I could not believe it when my hubby did some shopping at Woolies, based on my pre prepared list, and came home with a 2kg bag of sugar for $2.85, when last week it was $2.20...
