    ‘The end of an era’: Top chemist chain duo issues announcement after 65-year run

    That definitely doesn't apply to all stores. The staff and service and our local pharmacy is excellent. Wouldn't go anywhere else. You must have gone to the wrong branch

    You could be paying $2200 for failing to see this parking sign!

    The sign looks pretty clear to me, so long as you actually look at it

    SDC Cooks Winning Entry: @Suzanne rose’s Cheese Pies

    Hello Suzanne, I recently posted about the way recipes are advertised in the emails we get. Who would think that "‘I guarantee you will love them.’ Member @Suzanne rose's winning recipe is not only mouth-wateringly delicious but also a family secret (until now!)." would be your Cheese Pies. I...

    Vanilla Cupcakes Vegan

    No, I mean the mention in the actual email only gives a hint at what the recipe may be. I'd like to know before I click, because than I would check the recipes more often.

    Vanilla Cupcakes Vegan

    I little off post here, but I rarely click the links for the recipes because I don't know what they're going to be. It could be like a lucky dip with a nice suprise at the end, but I'd prefer to know what the recipe is going to be instead of just a teaser. Just my opinion. Thanks for the...

    Could Australia go cashless in just three years? Here's what a finance expert wants you to know

    A point of interest. You can do banking transactions at your local post office. I have had times where I needed to deposit a cheque, and have no local bank branch, so did it at the post office. You can also withdraw cash there.

    How this simple phone call cost an unfortunate woman $21,000 within seconds

    Totally agree. I fell for the Mum and Pop scam - their timing was amazing at a time when I wasn't a bit suprised that my child needed help. I didn't think anything of "helping". In hind sight there were red flags, but I was too worried at the time to notice them. I didn't even know I'd been...

    Scam victim discovers ‘horrifying’ secret after checking her account security

    Mmm, it looks legitimate, but that means nothing. If you want to be sure perhaps instal an anti virus app and run it to check. I have AVG free on my phone, but there are plenty of others - just check the Play Store

    How this simple phone call cost an unfortunate woman $21,000 within seconds

    Not really. It also should be on the bank to notice a transaction that is out of the ordinary and check with the account holder somehow. My old credit union used to do this all the time, but the bigger banks obviously don't care so much about their customers.

    You won't believe which popular Facebook Messenger feature is disappearing in September!

    Yes, sounds like you could actually send "text messages" via Messenger. I didn't know that, and probably lots of people didn't, so no great loss to us. Our regular "Messenger" will still be there

    Woman breaks silence on tragic mushroom lunch incident that claimed three lives

    Lots of people don't like mushrooms. I only started eating then in my later years.

    Over or Under? The Right Way to Hang Toilet Paper Finally Settled!

    I was going to comment similarly. Our cat discovered the toilet roll recently and was very disappointed that nothing much happened except that it spun around. Definitely didn't keep her interest.

    Shocking Glen 20 mistake you need to avoid at all costs: Woman's dangerous experience revealed

    Easily if the knobs are on the front. I accidentally knocked mine as I was walking past it one day and came home to find the stove out in the yard. Luckily the neighbour next door spotted smoke coming out of the vents and came in to investigate - he put the fire out before the fire brigade got...

    Kmart discreetly axes an entire range, leaving customers outraged

    I am another who didn't know until recently that KMart stocked these items - I had never seen them until recently. I must admit though that most of what I have needed I bought from the local specialist store which is priced fairly reasonably, or from Marketplace or eBay. I got my walker in very...

    Exciting ‘modern’ update to Bunnings' sausage sizzles!

    I don't use my phone to pay, but the article does not say that they won't be accepting cash, just that now people have an extra option to pay - cash is still accepted

    Could drinking this much coffee each day put you at risk for dementia and Alzheimer's?

    I note that no allowance appears to have been made for the strength of the coffee. I generally have about 6 cups of coffee a day, but my 6 cups would equal 2 cups in strength for other people. I don't feel that it's an addiction in that I only like to drink either coffee or water - I'll have...

    Wife faces heartbreaking decision as husband's $452-per-month cigarette habit takes its toll

    My only comment would be that if he can't, or really doesn't want to give up, then swap to "rollies". Not only does it save quite a bit of money, but the cigarettes don't burn away like tailer mades, they just go out if left sitting, so are not wasted. Just a thought - it's what I did many...

    Woolies shopper discovers astonishing price difference for a household staple: Are we paying too much?

    Really, I nearly always buy supermarket "medicines" - ibaprofun in particular - and have never noticed any difference at all, except of course for the price. Not sure about vitamins, because they are pretty much all the same as the brands stocked at the chemist.
