    Dangerous discovery! Pre-packaged salad from ALDI leads to a serious medical emergency

    The first people I would let know about this would be the store I bought it from and make sure I had photos. So many people put it on Facebook etc before alerting the store,I don’t understand that.

    We all need kindness in this world. If you don’t want some stranger to pay for your groceries decline gracefully no need to be rude. I wouldn’t feel insulted just grateful that there are kind people out there. My daughter does kind things for people expecting nothing in return. Yesterday she...

    Former The Project Host David Hughes Reveals Confrontation Over Contentious Joke

    I wouldn’t have given anyone threatening me my phone number. The man obviously doesn’t watch the show or he would have known that Hughes wasn’t on it anymore. My mum used to say two things you don’t argue about are politics and religion because they are the two that start a war. I don’t know...

    Centrelink recipient shares $100 fortnightly grocery haul: 'People who believe Jobseekers are out here living the life are wrong'

    No flak from me. My husband had to leave the workforce because of ill health. He is on disability support pension and I am on the age pension. I learnt early on to budget.

    Roald Dahl rewrites: Rather than bowdlerising books on moral grounds we should help children to navigate history

    How dare a few decide what a multitude can read. I grew up reading Noddy and Enid Blyton. My children loved Rohald Dahl. My sister had a golliwog and we didn’t grow up to be racist. Doctor Suess didn’t destroy my children. If they put as much effort into educating children about the dangers of...

    Need a bulk-billing GP? Why throwing more money at Medicare isn’t the answer

    The doctors surgery that I visit recently stopped bulk billing patients under the age of 60. My two daughters and a son-in-law go there too and all of them now have to have at least $69 cash or card to pay and then claim from Medicare. They are out of pocket by about $29. Medicare is stuffed and...

    I know a lot of businesses are doing it tough but I don’t think the big grocery stores like Coles and Woolies are,even Aldi. Doesn’t matter how tough things are we all have to eat and we mostly all shop at one or all of these stores.

    Poo-llution Alert: Popular Aussie Beach Battling Health Hazard

    My daughter walks her dog and mine daily and always takes bags. It is disgusting that people don’t pick up after their dogs. Years ago I was waiting to use an atm and I thought the man in front of me was next. He had a boxer on a lead and it pooped right in front of where you stand to use the...

    Australia's grocery stores are running low on chicken and other essential products - but should we panic?

    My daughter does my shopping and she said there are so many empty shelves in our local Woolies and Coles stores. She likes Coles own brand diet fizzy drinks in bottles and they have had none at three stores she visited for weeks. Most of my groceries come from Aldi and they have had supply...
