Bunkum. I never shop at Aldi & as for it being the place for "everything" you have a very limited idea of what everything is.

That is all very good if you live in the city. I am fed up with all these posts about how I can save money by shopping at Aldi (makes me think they are paying SDC to push their prices etc) when I would have to spend approx. $60 to drive to my nearest Aldi. Many of us do not have a choice other...

I predicted 20-30 years ago when we stopped disciplining our children that this would be the ultimate outcome. There is an old proverb which says "Spare the rod, spoil the child" & that is exactly what we have done. This nonsense that hitting a child is child abuse is ridiculous. I say, not...

It seems that with all these companies which require that we take out a contract, the contract applies one way only. The customer has no rights to alter the contract, cannot opt out without penalty, cannot change the amt of data (which many of us don't need/use). However, the companies can...

Your reply doesn't make a lot of sense First you say that you hope we become a cashless society then you proceed to say why we should NOT become a cashless society. Which do you mean?

The aged pension was not a privilege given by previous governments. When it was introduced there was a levy added to tax as your contribution to aged pension. Somewhere along the years this has been moved to general revenue & now, even though that levy has never been removed so presumably...

I agree. I could not stretch out across my car to sleep comfortably. I lay my seats down (after pushing front seats as far forward as possible), air mattress, sleeping bag & I'm a happy little bug in a rug (or sleeping bag).

I will never be that keen to clean. Taking the vac cleaner outside to clean gauze screens would be impossible for some of my windows. No electricity available to reach them. The last time I took one of my gauze frames of a window I couldn't get it back on. My house moves with the weather &...

Not something new. These have been available elsewhere for years.

I'm confused by this statement - "open the window so the water has somewhere to drip outside". This would suggest you are cleaning from the inside of the gauze so surely you would have the window open so you have access to the gauze. If, however, you are cleaning from the outside, why would...

If they did that to me I would tell them to keep the lobster tails. They would probably then throw them away as they have been out of the fridge for some time so considered waste.

I have always had the full price refunded at Woolies. Never been a problem. The only thing is, if you buy 2 or more then you get the 1st one free & the difference refunded for the rest. That is the policy to which these stores have agreed.

You must have paid for your item before you can claim it for free. I watch everything going through but also check my docket before I leave the store to check the price charged. If anything is incorrect, I go to the information desk & report it. Of course, this person goes & checks what the...

Handwash only is put on the tag so protect the manufacturer in case you put your garment in a rough cycle in the machine & it is damaged. I have not handwashed anything in decades & that includes hand knitted woollen (not acrylic) jumpers & cardigans all without a problem. Sometimes I will...

With the current price of wood for the fire I elected to use my AC all last winter. It was set at 18C & ran 24/7 & still cost me less than if I had to buy wood for the fire & pay electricity to run the fan to spread the heat. Plus, I don't have to clean as much without the smoke & ash from the...

I do have access to FB, mail & some other things I never use. My phone is just that - a phone. If I want to go on FB, get mail or search the internet for something, I do it on my laptop or desktop computer. How anyone can do anything on the piddly little screens on a phone is beyond my...

So you would be happy to wait for your groceries, or fill your car up with petrol only to find out the bank is no longer operating so you can't pay for your petrol? What do you do now? The service station owner wants his money before you leave. Hmm. Bit of a problem, eh, wot? People do need...

They need to get a life. I was a problem child to feed lunch at school & to be told by someone who is not my parent what I could & could not eat would have made this worse. I was a healthy child with hardly ever a day off school for sickness & my adult life has been the same. Leave the school...

Definitely will try this. Just wish there was a solution as simple as this for getting rid of pantry moths. They are taking over my pantry at the moment.

If you lived 30-35 mins drive from the supermarket, you would soon find that you have to shop weekly or longer. If you choose & store your fresh fruit/veg carefully you can shop every 7-10 days. I choose fruit which is still firm, so not yet fully ripe. The same with tomatoes & every other...
