I had almost the opposite recently: the bank wasnt equipped to TAKE my money! I had saved for a new expensive car for years. Dealer didnt accept more than $5000 in cash, so had to organise a ban cheque. The branch I usually go to was unable to take in a large amount!! Apparently there are only 2...

waiting times of 24 minutes? I wish! Usually between 45 and 80 min!!! But the worst thing: I went overseas, informed them the day before my flight and reported my income as I have to do every fortnight. Came home to a letter from Centrelink that 5hey had cancelled my pension as well as my...

Yep, the toiletpaper only works in my (or friends') backyard. As forcwalkies it s poo bags ( or sometimes nappie bags) for me as well.

I get those piles of joy as well, but I just pick them up with toiletpaper and throw them straight into the toilet! Just make sure its not tissue or kitchen towels, or you ll clog your toilet...

Love the look. I usually dont shop at Woolies but will get a few to put gifts in for my overseas friends! Better than the expensive "Happy Birthday" etc gift bags! Who cares that they wont be filled up to the rim.... though I might just do that, withnpaper and bubble foil, for fun😉

ok, I dont have a big family anymore, but my pension is minimal as well. so I buy most of my food at Coles and Aldi's. I only buy things when they are on special or you get extra flybuy points (at Coles). I use all the incentives to get extra points (for example "spend $70 in one single shop and...

We have a saying in German: "Ich hab Dich zum Fressen gern!"

I used to wash my towels with a mix of vinegar and bicarb and at least 60 degrees. Made towels softer and smell fresh, and apparently was good for the machine as well 😉 Two birds....

Seems like Aldi is on the consumer's side! Especially for people with low income (many pensioners!) getting the same good quality at a cheaper price and still buying Australian (Aldi sells as many Australian made products if not more than Coles and Woolworth), supporting Australians who work at...

I remember an "experience" at a very well known restaurant in Sydney, NOT an airline. It was our small company's annual Xmas dinner, and the boss invited us all to a now famous restsurant specialising in seafood. As I am allergic to seafood I called ahead and asked if there would be anything...

There are also more and more" lost pets" recently, often cute puppies. I dont think people have become more negligent, but that these dogs are stolen and sold. Another reason to be careful where you get your dog from! And ALWAYS meet the pet and their carer before, at THEIR facility/home. Be...

I did the same, only bought non perishable etc. Fresh food usually at Coles in the same shopping center. A few months ago Coles didn't have the salad I like, so I git it at Aldi's. what can I say? The Coles one usually goes off after 2 or 3 days, Aldi s keeps fresh for longer (important in a 1...

I was about to say the same, but you beat me to it! It was Dick Smith's war cry when Aldi arrived in Australia more than 20 years ago. I studied marketing etc at that time and looked into it thoroughly for one of my assignments. Not even the employees were German! And more of their products are...
