    Favourite everyday item to disappear from Woolworths. Find out why shoppers are divided

    This is a step in the right direction. I would certainly agree with placing conditions in the manner in which animals are reared for human consumption, however on this occasion the equally important thing for us as consumers is the fact that caged eggs are not the best in terms of quality and...

    End of an era: Nestle discontinues iconic Fantales chocolate after 93 years

    Yes, I too certainly remember those great days when we were kids and enjoyed the simple things in life. Fantales had a great taste and were a lot of fun just like a lot of other types of confectionaries back then. However, I must say it's probably all for the best. Most confectionary...

    The truth behind the 'downfall' of Australia's most beloved retailers – are they losing their 'magic'?

    Yes, Liz I have to agree. In the main particularly stores like DJ's encompassed items which although were substantially pricier than many other retailers, they were often very good quality. That being said in today's financial climate, I think customers are looking for a different shopping...

    Shopper shares brilliant money-saving tip for when you need emergency cash

    Yes, I agree, it's a false economy. Does not sound like a logical thing to do. As per the add by Seniors, how do you save up to $500 per year? If this add is about developing a way of putting money aside for shopping at times when someone may be short of funds, then it's not about saving money...

    You might be sitting on a $25k goldmine! Check your cupboards now as CorningWare value skyrockets

    Yes, I have to agree with you. I think this is just stupid. I know people would say "get over it', but from my perspective it makes people go quite silly online or when advertising these things. It creates a society of unscrupulous sellers which is not as simple as saying 'buyer beware'...

    Revealed: Top Aussie dietitian’s healthy go-to foods from Coles

    Hi Tygie and anyone else that may ready this thread, I think in the main dieticians and nutritionists try to provide factual information for people and their intent is sincere, it's just that there is so much controversy in terms of what should be eaten and what shouldn't. There is also...

    Indulge in a taste of the UK: Smith's new British-inspired chips just landed at ALDI

    Yes, I know that we all need a treat every now and again and I'm certainly not a saint, but these sorts of advertisements which you can only describe as junk processed foods are becoming the norm on most sites including Senior Discount. I'm not sure whether that should be the aim or objective...

    Indulge in a taste of the UK: Smith's new British-inspired chips just landed at ALDI

    Yes, Mina correct! When you say 'fatty' remember fat is not the problem unless its trans fats, high carbs sugar and the wrong sort of salt. Chips are virtually made up of all these items. A handful of good nuts (macadamia, pecans, walnuts, almonds) is a great alternative. This is a post I...

    Revealed: Top Aussie dietitian’s healthy go-to foods from Coles

    I'm so glad you posted this. You are absolutely correct. Some current health industry awards and similar courses contain a lot of information, content and advice which is strenuously being rejected in other nutritional health circles. The problem with this is that less educated individuals...

    Indulge in a taste of the UK: Smith's new British-inspired chips just landed at ALDI

    Do we know the ingredients of the contents? Are the ingredients to same as all other chips? I must go into Aldi's and have a look and let everyone know what's in them. I reckon I will find a variety of chemicals, bad fats, the wrong type of salt and cooked in vegetable oil. However, I will...

    'Forced shakedown' at Woolworths checkout has shoppers outraged

    "At Woolworths, supporting Australian communities is a top priority." That may well be the case, however on this occasion the comment is out of place. If shoppers are donating money by rounding it off to the nearest dollar on their total shopping bill, then its 'the shopper supporting...

    You won't believe what this Western Australian dumpster diver uncovers from supermarket waste!

    I think at the end of the day retail outlets of this nature are loathe to donate such items for fear of being sued in the event someone consuming those items becomes sick. We know that in our current society of litigation and civil suits particularly by those waiting to 'pounce' the standard...

    Outrageous hidden fees at Woolworths exposed by shopper – Here’s what you need to know

    Yes, I hear what you are saying and sometimes diets etc don't quite cut it. The only advice I would continue to give is that keto at a minimum eliminates high carbs, sugar and grains. These are a continual blocker to the body's standard health by the way in which it utilises nutrients...

    Outrageous hidden fees at Woolworths exposed by shopper – Here’s what you need to know

    His advice was correct. Avoid all grains which includes oats, breads, pasta and cereals, avoid all rice which is a grain, eliminate all sugar from the diet and that includes fruit which is heavily laden with Fructose which is sugar (apart from the berry family they are good in moderation)...

    Outrageous hidden fees at Woolworths exposed by shopper – Here’s what you need to know

    Everyone's point is quite interesting, and I can certainly understand some of the issues that are mentioned. My takeaway on this I think is simple. I note that the picture provided shows a variety of products which in themselves are a hazard to our health regardless of gluten content or not...

    It's back! Don't miss the return of this ‘all-time favourite’ McDonald’s menu item!

    You should never eat this type of food. A lot of people are either so uneducated or literally don't care about the health issues this type of food causes and how this lifestyle and type of eating indoctrinates our children into this slippery slope. It all stems back to the family unit...
