    Aussies in for delayed lamb price slump in groceries, industry group says

    Are you kidding? Farmers raise, feed, vaccinate & drench their lambs & pay to send them to market to only, as was the case in the Dubbo sale yards 3 weeks ago, get a miserable $10 a head! It COSTS the farmer more than that! You obviously have no idea. By no stretch of the imagination would I...

    Coles’ major move against theft could transform shopping as we know it

    Isn't it a shame that retailers have had to resort to this? We all pay the price in the end for theft. I applaud retailers for taking this stand against dishonest people, there is NO excuse for stealing, not cost of living increases either, there are many welfare agencies out there who will...

    What is this shopping site asking customers to do that’s causing outrage?

    I don't tip, people are paid to do a job so just do it and be grateful you have a job. Asking for a tip is just outright rude.

    Shocking discovery: What one ALDI customer found will leave you disgusted

    I'd forget contacting the store, just go straight to the Health Department! That's unacceptable quality control and definitely a health risk. That poor man, I think I'd have thrown up too. I like to shop for some things at Aldi when I'm near a store but have found their fruit and vegetables...

    Landlord finds rental property destroyed by tenants: ‘Driving me nuts’

    That's very, very sad. Many years ago as a single working Mum of two small children fleeing domestic violence, a Real Estate Agent allowed me to rent a two bedroom unit in a block of three. I treated my little unit as my own and left it much better and cleaner than when we moved in, even...

    SDC members react To $2.34 a day Centrelink pension increase

    The Aged Pension increase is an absolute joke and the Goverrnment should be totally ashamed. I have just received my council rates notice for 2023/4 and they have increased by $200 a quarter as a widowed pensioner I really don't' know how I'm going to be able to pay this increase and I'm...

    Huge news for Centrelink recipients: Energy bill relief is coming your way!

    Why do different states get different amounts, doesn't seem fair to me. The government is making it harder to buy firewood to keep us warm in winter and therefore we are forced to use electricity to keep us warm now which is a much more expensive option.

    Discover ALDI’s new service that will revolutionise your shopping experience

    I just love ALDI and am really looking forward to their online shopping offer, I would also love it if they did delivery but I have my doubts that side of things would happen.

    Major Woolworths change infuriates shoppers

    My very elderly mother, a very independent soul, used to like to do her shopping at the supermarket with a little help from me. She also used a wheelie walker but happily replaced it with the shopping trolley when in the store, I can't see the problem here by replacing one with the other, it...
