    Pepsi 24x tins was $9.99 in 2015. Might have been sale price but not half price sale. So full price was about $14=$15. It's been off my shopping list for several years now. Blame Covid. The stores are.

    Discover how this 'ALDI dad' feeds his family of four on a $150 weekly grocery budget and how you can too!

    Mainly buying at Aldi is not the cheapest way. Plus, frozen veggies. Sorry, but yuk. They are watery, tasteless. Best to buy whole fresh chicken when on sale $3.50-$5.00 p/k and cut up and deskin yourself & freeze. Hardly any meat, if ever now, so it might be some mince so do a big cook of...

    Probably needed especially for older people who find themselves put off their last job and find it hard getting new employment. Pensioners got a great increase last one that I'm still trying to get my head around that it was so big. I live alone and yes have my own place and have Private...

They both quickly said yes. I have plenty of honey, so I may...

    I know that a lot of people here have their right to speak which they have done but let us also look at another possibility which happens non-stop around the world and is the likely cause of his erratic behaviour and that is that his drink and/or food were spiked. That his toothpaste was spiked...

    Amazing deal: This Coles trick could slash up to $93.50 off your next grocery shop!

    Incredible $20,000 discovery at a popular Aussie beach!

    Wonderful story and also teaches children that just because it's Lost and then Found by them does not make the item theirs. People that find items and keep them are actually committing a crime. Obviously expensive items, even mobile phones need to be handed into the police. As part of an...
