    Seniors Discount Club Petitions!

    Have you considered the cost of placing solar panels on the roof &, if you (the renter) wants it, a battery? Any sane home owner who rents his property would add a substantial amount to the rent to cover the cost of installing solar panels &/or batteries. Why should the home owner cover the...

    Seniors Discount Club Petitions!

    Maybe you could consider those of us who are affected by this idiocy. Try living in rural Australia where blackouts & loss of internet are regular problems. Without the availability of cash we can be at the checkout or petrol pump with a full trolley or fuel tank & no means to pay. What are...

    Resident slams major city council for ‘disgraceful’ tactic: ‘It's a waste of money’

    Who wants to stand out in the weather to sort out your kitchen tidy when it is full? I do not have room for more than one bin in my small kitchen so everything goes in it. I do not have room for more than one bin in my craft room so everything goes in it. I do not have room for more than one...

    Resident slams major city council for ‘disgraceful’ tactic: ‘It's a waste of money’

    Do you really believe that the council separates your rubbish & recycling when it reaches the tip? The recyclables would all be contaminated so not suitable for recycling. Apart from that, where does the recycling garbage truck go to when it has finished its round? The tip!!!

    'What's the deal?': Ruffled tradie questions hardware store’s pet policy

    Staff should not be responsible for challenging customers if they suspect theft. That is the job of a security guard who is trained for the job & knows how to defend himself if the customer gets agro. If I was working in any store where it was possible for customers to steal goods, I would not...

    Experts expose truth behind Woolworths Rewards program

    I am not a slave to my cards but I am happy when I have accumulated my 2000 points from only those items which WW allow to be credited to my card. That $10 saving is a big hit for saving on my pension. WW & Coles can send all the emails they like but I never read them. They go straight to...

    He just wanted someone who would do all the housework & prepare all his meals while he sat on his rear-end. Found it doesn't work like that.

    Seniors Discount Club Petitions!

    So what don't you agree with? The petition is asking that the transition to ALL self-checkouts be stopped. That will give you the choice to go either to a manned or unmanned checkout as you wish.

    Expert reveals secret to picking the sweetest watermelon with this genius trick

    In the good old days when we bought watermelons off a truck by the side of the road, the seller would always cut a triangular shape & remove it so you could see what you were buying. I can't ever remember having a watermelon that was not sweet & juicy in those days, maybe because the grower...

    Single mum hit with outrageous $200 rise in expenses amidst cost-of-living surge

    I am so sick of the clever dicks telling us to shop at Aldi, Costco, Chemist Warehouse etc. etc. etc. Do they think we all live in Sydney? There are many in this group who have none of these stores anywhere near close enough to be cost effective to drive there to shop. I would have to drive...

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    ALL pharmacies could apply the $1 discount regardless of size. I live in a small country town & my chemist has applied this discount since its inception. This article is very misleading as it hints that only Chemist Warehouse had the authority to apply the discount & it very clearly WRONG...

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    Chemist Warehouse did not have an advantage over other pharmacies. They could all reduce their cost of PBS medication by $1. Some chose not to do that & now they appear to be the ones complaining about those that did choose to give us the benefit of this discount.

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    The $1 discount was able to be applied by all chemists not just Chemist Warehouse. When my chemist refused to give it because he said I would have to wait longer to reach the Safety Net - one problem, I never reach the safety net as I don't need enough medication - I just moved my business to...

    This analysis reveals the most vulnerable four-digit codes. Is yours on the list?

    Since when could you use random letters & numbers for your PIN? There are no letters on the machines in stores where you would use your card which needs a PIN, only numbers. I do use birthdays for my PINs but they are ones from deceased family members. This also keeps those loved ones in my...

    Macquarie Bank clients have a few days left to adapt to major 'digital only' overhaul

    Why would you want a bank a/c online? It's easily accessed by hackers & then BANG you have no money!! Apart from that, I do not understand all these new (& supposedly improved) ways to pay a/cs & I really have no desire to learn. At my age, all I want is simple face-to-face banking where I...

    63-year-old woman defies odds by having a baby with 26-year-old husband

    I feel sorry for the baby. Just imagine going to a school event with your "mother" & explaining to your mates that she is not your grandmother as would be expected with her age. How embarrassing!!

    I wonder how many younger drivers have done the same thing but you fail to count them as dangerous to yourself.
