    Seniors Discount Club Petitions!

    I am still waiting for someone to let me know what one does at the check out, standing with a full trolly, and the "system" has gone to God and one cannot pay with the fantastic plastic. If one doesn't carry enough cash for the shopping, usually about $200 for me, what happens next? with...

    Neighbour's request leaves Aussie homeowner 'shaking and fuming'

    The neighbour is right in this instance. Try to settle this in a calm manner as there is nothing worse than not getting on with the person next door. If we can't manage this, what hope for World peace!!

    'Cash only': Woolworths sign sparks controversy amid shift to cashless payments

    Lawyer’s provocative Woolworths stunt exposes consumer tactics: ‘They're intrusive’

    The Woolworths loyalty programme isn't worth much really as they are so expensive I am sure they more than cover the $10 off - my local Woolworths have poor ticketing and things are reducing in size for the same amount of money. There is an IGA here but can't say it's any cheaper. We need an...

Need help from someone but who! Am...

    Aussie mum shares shocking price disparity between Coles and ALDI—'It's disgusting’

    Woolworths fruit and veg are often half soft and nearly rotten but expensive - Aldi is cheaper but seem to not last very long, have not tried Coles. It's all about ripping off the customer whichever way you can! At Woolworths prices can go up 20% in one week to the next. Specials are often not...

    Hacked

    If anyone tries to get into your computer telling you that there is a problem with it and they will help you, whatever you do do NOT push any buttons they suggest pushing. They will tell you not to turn off your computer - so obviously this is what you MUST DO. Turn off your computer...

    Aussie TV presenter's mail misfortune sparks identity theft nightmare

    My mail is a constant problem! I recently posted a cheque to pay a bill. It had to go from where I live to 2 suburbs away and was posted at the box outside the local P.O. This took 20 days to travel a very short distance to a P.O. box 2 suburbs from where I live. During the 20 days I...

    I am not against people on pensions but be thankful for what you get because if you were, like me, a self funded retiree with no job, no super, no family, no help and no govt. help you would be even worse off!! I worked for years, was taxed and paid for everyone else's pension but when my turn...
