    Major Woolworths change infuriates shoppers

    I have a rewards card. I don’t shop exclusively at Woolworths. I don’t see a problem with this incentive. It’s free to join. You’re not out of pocket. And having a rewards card as far as privacy is no different to any time you buy with a bank card. We have no privacy from the powers that be...

    Woolworths' BIG change: They’re doing what with their shopping trolleys?!

    Pretty sure I am capable of working out whether I am buying healthy food or chocolate biscuits and potato chips. I find this a stupid idea. I think we are perfectly able to shop for a healthy diet without dividers. The only reason I am not buying the quality of meat or some of the options like...

    Plane Drama: Passenger blocks woman from reclining seat on a 12-hour flight

    I think of course we have to expect that people will decline their seats to be more comfortable. However I think a little courtesy doesn’t go astray. Simply let the person know or say is it ok I’d like to lean my seat back a bit. I’ve had occasion when the passenger in front reclined the seat...

    Is it possible to avoid Coles and Woolworths for a week? These three shoppers did!

    Im all for shopping at the small local shops. While once I thought they were so expensive but I feel the big chains have caught up. We have some great farmers markets, a farm shop and a honey farm close by. We have a wonderful general store in my small town and I like being called by name when...

    Unexpected new habitat announced for Tasmanian Penguins

    Yes what a fabulous thing the town is doing. Lovely to see a car park being turned into a native bush land instead of the other way around! 😁

    Stretch your dollar further with these three delicious 'salad jar' recipes that cost less than $3 each!

    Same here. Always took salads and separate dressing. As modern and trendy I’ve got was to buy a stainless steel bento box. I give it to hubby on days he works and needs lunch. Has small compartments and can pop in some protein, salad veg, berries, nuts, crackers cheese all separate. Lunch and...

    Centrelink struggles to meet demand as wait times skyrocket

    Sorry another technological glitch and when I tried to correct the last word it posted 🙄🤣 obviously the people of Australia! Long story short - the Albanese government could not give a damn about any of us. He is selling us off piece by piece. He won’t be putting any effort into making...

    Centrelink struggles to meet demand as wait times skyrocket

    I have recently had the misfortune to be in a position where I have had to apply for jobseeker. I won’t go into all the gruelling details but in the last week I have had to call Centrelink to fix up yet another mistake in their assessment process. My wait time was 1 hour and 7 minutes! All I...

    Behind the Scenes of Budget Retailing: Startling Discovery in Smith's Chips Multi-Pack Raises Questions

    Yes I’ve learned of several Products over the years. I know that west acre cheese is Bega so why would you pay more to get Bega at woollies? I heard about this all those years ago when No Frills supermarkets first started in Australia. It’s nice to know we can get quality products cheaper at Aldi.

    Is the housing crisis about to hit a breaking point? Kochie demands action before 1.5 million new migrants arrive

    Australia is in such a mess. Let’s look after our own people for a change before we worry about other countries. Sorry if that’s sounds insensitive but I’ve seen this wonderful country deteriorate in recent years from what aussies used to be so proud to call home.

    Over 55? Albanese government plans to boost JobSeeker payments in upcoming Budget

    Well sorry but I have just gone on to jobseeker. I am 65 so can’t get a pension yet. I work in my husband and my small business and we are struggling to make ends meet. It’s not easy to get a job when you’re 65 and have been self employed last 40 so no Cert 111 or Cert 1V in my admin field...

    Increasing backlash over proposed JobSeeker increase for over 55s: ‘A dangerous precedent’

    Well you have done really well but you are one of the lucky ones. My husband and I (second marriage) have worked hard and employed people over our time but simply did not have the funds to put into a super fund. We now face retirement on the pension alone. We are lucky enough to own our home...

    Christmas comes early! Lucky customers report saving thousands with a supermarket's rewards program

    I only recently joined the rewards program at Woolworths. I have elected to save up my bonuses for Christmas. I already have $60 in my account. Not much to some but a good amount to me. Even if I have $100 by Christmas it will be a huge help. I also find myself watching out for the weekly...

    Forget the conspiracies, 15-minute cities will free us to improve our mental health and wellbeing

    Sorry but this report sounds like someone’s very fanciful view of what is behind this idea. A lecturer in the ah oil of nursing - not sure how much inside info they would have on this project 🤷‍♀️
