    Coles receipt comparison highlights unfair reality of today's supermarket prices

    Its time people supported IGA and local grocers, there, at least you know the prices are a bit dearer but they support local sports and other organisations.....Woolies, Coles & Aldi only support share holders.

    You Won't Believe the Shocking State of This Kmart Beauty Section!

    Natalie Barr’s sudden disappearance from Sunrise: Fill-in presenter reveals the reason

    Brome has always been excessively expensive, mainly to cater for the rich and famous. Accommodation for just a motel room runs from $450 a night to $800 a night so its impossible for the average Joe Blow to stay there and see the camels at sunset or any other tourist adventure like the boat that...

    Fed up with Woolworths? You won't believe what people are finding in the digital price tags!

    It seems shoppers have to be ever vigilant to Woolies, Soles and Aldi scams. I sometimes get home and check my receipt only to find some items much more expensive than advertised. I like Strasberg sausage, but Woolies rarely have it on display, they usually slice it for me when I ask for it...

    Centrelink tells recipients to hold off on lodging their taxes!

    You mean Centrelink and the ATO can't get everything together. It seems every Australian Government department can't make anything happen on time. So many times, I've been let down by Government departments.

    I lived in Perth and my sister lived in Newcastle. There were a lot of us young people living in the Watermans Bay Caravan Park, mostly from interstate.
