It’s disgusting how the big supermarket chains treat our hard working farmers and then blame us for not wanting the no so perfect fruit and veggies. We cannot buy what is not available. I would pick taste over looks any day. Who wants food that is tasteless. I don’t buy any ‘fresh’ produce from...

I haven’t seen a packet of fantails for years in the supermarket. Maybe they were there but I just didn’t see them through all those cheap tasteless rubbery lollies that are on offer these days.

When flybuys was first launched many years ago it was much easy to accumulate points. Certain weekly items would have triple points attached. The following week it would be something different and then they changed it to having to buy 2 and sometimes 3 of the same items to earn the bonus points...

I love a good old humble mince pie but find that a lot of pies lacking in filling but way over priced especially the mass produced ones such as Mrs Macs. A double up in the pastry department to make it look the same size as the originals. Come one, we are not stupid!!! More pie, less price =...

If I wanted to scan my own shopping I would have become a checkout chick. Pardon the pun. Used only to make a point

Good luck to Emily and everyone else stepping out for a cause

It should be mandatory that any unsold fresh food should be donated to the food bank and businesses fined for failing to do so!!

Putting graphic pictures and warnings on cigarette packets do diddly squat. I was a smoker when they first started it. Did it make a difference? NO! The government needs to be seen doing something but they really don’t want people to actually stop smoking. They rake in too much in taxes for...

Escapism or just down time, it doesn’t really matter. Anything is better than the rubbish they expect us to watch these days. If you are not into reality tv or sport there is not much left to watch. At least Home and Away has a story line and incorporates important issues such as mental health...

If I wanted to be a checkout chick (excuse the pun) I would have applied for a job years ago!!

I sympathise with the young lady in question but at the same time have to wonder why she cannot get a job. When you are a single parent as I was you learn to take whatever is out there. You may not like it but it puts food on the table. As a single parent I subsidised my income by picking grapes...

What is past is past. I am not a royalist nor am in republican. What I do care about in the amount of money squandered on the traditional pomp and ceremony. We are now in the 21st century and there are more important ways that the new king could have made himself popular..he is the head of the...
