I'm from country Victoria, and I remember in the early 60's seeing the marching girls practice on the local football ground after school. They were coached by committed older ladies who knew their stuff. Sadly another good activity for our young girls and women has disappeared!

It seems that Woolies are trying to lure the younger generation in, rather than the disabled, who might not spend as much!

When people used to grow their own fruit and vegetables, a bug on a leaf would just be brushed off! The supermarkets are too fussy about produce being 'perfect'! I'd rather a bug, than insecticides on my food!

Years ago I would preserve fruit in Fowler's Vacola bottling jars. Every year I'd buy a box of peaches, pears or apricots and preserve them. Then the fruit prices went up! It was cheaper to buy a can of fruit, than to spend money on fruit, sugar and power, to preserve them myself!

I will not use self checkouts on principle! This is doing someone out of a job, and I don't want to be watched by cameras, like I'm a prospective shop lifter!

Gobstopper Marathon. Credits: Pixabay I remember as a girl, having a regular competition with my best friend to see who could suck a 1d Gobstopper the longest! We would have to show each other that it was still there, by poking out our tongue!

I only buy 'treats' like chocolate biscuits or lollies, when they are on special! What I can't get at Aldi, like Denture paste for example, I will go to Woolworths.

Who makes the generic brands? Years ago a friend who worked in a bread making factory said that the only difference between a packet of popular Brand Name bread and the generic loaf of bread, was the bag it was in!

I'm going to give these a try! Transferring shopping from the trolley onto the checkout belt, then back into the trolley, then to the shopping bags in the car, takes time and energy. These bags could mean less handling of items, and save time!

As a pensioner, I have to be careful how much money I spend on my weekly shop. Over the past few years, items that were once a regular in the shopping cart, have now become a treat, only bought every now and then, eg. A block of chocolate. Only buying some goods when they are on special, has...

It's not a matter of putting lava lamps in senior's care facilities! The problem is not having enough staff available to take care of the elderly. This puts pressure on the staff, as well as limiting the amount of care they can provide.

Gone full circle! Back to paper bags like 40 years ago, but now we have to pay for them!
