    Big issue with Coles and Woolworths that baffles millions of customers!

    Problem solved, you silly man. REUSE. You say they are reusable, then reuse them, for goodness sake. Keep some in the boot of your car just in case you think of something you need to buy, perhaps on your way home from work and you won’t have to pay for yet another one to clutter up your space...

    School days

One day his sister invited me to their home to meet the family, husband was there & ‘doubled’ me back to...

    This Woman Found Something Shocking in Her Kitchen Drawer – Are You Making the Same Dishwasher Mistake?

    Makes some sense to unload the bottom shelf of the dishwasher first so no lingering water drips from the top shelf onto items on the bottom. In your kitchen your cutlery drawer should already have partitions. Put the cutlery in the appropriate sections. Problem solved!

    New Shopping Alert: Discover the Sneaky Payment Rule That's Enraging Customers Everywhere!

    Yes, we do. Spreadsheet is on computer, not hard copy as well as anything with our email address, home address (even on envelopes), bank account number, phone and mobile numbers or even bank’s name. In short, anything that might identify us in any way gets shredded. We also have monitored home...

    My husband always asks for a receipt & gets one even for small items because he keeps track of our expenses on a spreadsheet (and he does a darned good job of it).

    YOU CALL THIS A RUMP STEAK?

    I like your response. Just like rare, bleeding steak I also don’t like soft eggs - waiters look at me when I say my fried egg has to be ‘dead’. To me that means the yolk has to have no transparency whatsoever - strangely enough my husband’s egg has to be almost just laid & it took me so, so, so...

    YOU CALL THIS A RUMP STEAK?

    Love it! I don’t eat steak, especially very rare, bleeding steak - looks like the cow is walking over my table & bleeding.

    New Shopping Alert: Discover the Sneaky Payment Rule That's Enraging Customers Everywhere!

    If I was buying something of low value I would have put it back on the counter, demanded my money back, and walked out. Too many scammers around these days to give out email addresses willy-nilly.

    'I had to go to the emergency department': Global food trend puts one Aussie to the hospital

    Dumb, dumb, dumb!!! Do we have to be spoon-fed and shown how to do things??? Don’t blame the appliance or gadget - use what your brain was given. Common sense lacking in so many these days.

    Eating unwashed apples? Here’s what a shocking new study reveals about this common habit!

    Of course pesticides and such penetrate the flesh of fruit and vegetables we eat otherwise how would we get juicy fruit and vegetables. However, we have lived with these things being used on our fruit and vegetables for so many years and have come this far. So it’s now too late to try and change...
