    Are shoppers ditching ALDI for Woolworths?

    I find those statistics very hard to believe. Aldi consistently comes out top of the majority of surveys taken over the years. As a long time shopper at Aldi I find their goods of high quality and extremely well priced. As one person commented, they do not always have a full range, and sometimes...

    Shocking discovery: ALDI’s self-checkouts break the mould compared to Coles and Woolworths!

    I have used self-serve checkouts in all three stores. I find the best is Coles for speed of getting through the checkout, and always with a willing assistant if required. Woolworths is ok, but don't shop there regularly. I find the Aldi self-checkouts rather confusing as the instructions on how...

    Mum overlooks detail in ALDI purchase: ‘I didn’t realise it’

    I agree, but the literal translation of Caveat Emptor is" buyer beware", and that phrase (in an advisory sense) applies to anything you purchase, be it under warranty or not.

    Mum overlooks detail in ALDI purchase: ‘I didn’t realise it’

    I don't have any issue with this as don't use a top sheet - just throw the doona cover in the machine every week. When purchasing anything, it always comes down to Caveat Emptor!

    Authorities issue urgent warning as measles case is detected in an airport

    You are completely wrong to think this is a scaremongering article. I am old enough to remember a time before the vaccine was available. Measles can cause a multitude of conditions, including death. You would not want to see a child suffering from this condition as it is very distressing. The...

    Authorities issue urgent warning as measles case is detected in an airport

    I find it hard to believe you and your brother had 10 bouts within 12 months! I understand your difficulty with masks. However, wearing a mask protects all citizens from this virus as it can be passed on by a person carrying the virus merely coughing. When in a pandemic situation we have to...

    Is Nicole Kidman sending hidden signals with her lonely Valentine's post?

    Who cares. Far more serious issues in the world than an actress and her husband's lovelife!

    Expert exposes the haircare lie we've all believed in

    When these so-called "experts" start recommending products by name I switch off. This is "promoting" under the guise of health - totally misleading and rather reprehensible.

    Upgrade your kitchen with this $29 Kmart item

    Over the last few years I have become a big fan of K Mart. They have definitely lifted their game with the range and quality of their products. My personal favourite is their scented candle range. These candles are so cheap and smell lovely. Why bother paying $50 for a candle when you can pick...

    Discover why GP visits in this state will soon cost extra $15

    You are not a nobody Toni - everyone is a somebody to someone and, by the sound of it, you are certainly a somebody to your children. This was a very well written comment making a lot of commonsense and which applies to a lot of people surviving on only the Age Pension. Well done for...

    Was thinking the same - I would have my doubts taking medical advice from her!

    We're discussing lamps, not Covid! A pretty unnecessary comment.

    Coles insiders leak checkout secret after shopper’s ‘awkward and weird’ experience

    I bought a 12 pack of bottled water at Coles recently and was asked to do the same - no explanation given whatsoever.

    Poor, middle-aged Australians are more likely to die from cancer – and the gap is widening

    What a nasty judgemental comment that is. Is there no compassion in your heart for people who, because of their financial circumstances, do not have the ability to access specialists and pay high medical bills. You really think that only the poor overindulge in smoking and alcohol...

    Coles shoppers shocked by 'rude' tactics, criticises store over controversial charity drive

    I am very careful when donating to charities. I find it ridiculous that the CEOs of these charities are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries which, in effect, means a lot of donations are going towards paying those salaries, and not to the expected recipients. I have no problem...

    Imagine what this tenant did to provoke a shocking ‘abusive’ rant from a real estate agent!

    Totally unprofessional and rude. The man should be sacked. Renters endure enough hassle without having to deal with a threatening real estate agent. I am speaking as the owner of a small apartment in Melbourne. I am extremely lucky to have professional, efficient and polite estate agent...

    David Koch explains why younger Aussies have ‘short end of the stick’ in housing market

    More senior bashing! This man purports to be an expert, so he should know better than to try and blame senior citizens fr the abysmal state of housing today. I do sympathise to a degree with younger people. However, when my late husband and I started out back in Scotland in the early 60s we...
