    Discover this 'delicious' money-saving tip to help you get every last drop from your mustard jar!

    I find putting a jar or bottle with a bit left in upside down in the fridge or pantry, the last bit settles just above the lid and is easily scooped out when needed.

    November Competition: Christmas Memories!

    We lived in Hong Kong for many years but with the troubles in 1989, decided to emigrate to Australia via our families in England for Christmas. It was our children's first winter in England, there was snow (a first) and it was freezing cold (not like they were used to). But they got to spend...

    Coles, Woolworths, IGA and ALDI affirm stance on supermarket self-serve checkouts

    I agree with the comment from Coles that 'someone' will be available at the manned checkout. "someone' in the singular being the operative word in my experience! Also, the 'someone is inevitable housed at the checkout which is the furthest from the self serve area, meaning a lengthy walk for...

    Woolies shopper allegedly accused of theft due to frustrating self-checkout error

    And Kmart now have these stupid payment hubs half way down the store, and a poor staff member scanning your receipt before you can leave the store! How bizarre is that?

    Woolies shopper allegedly accused of theft due to frustrating self-checkout error

    I rarely use the self-checkout and always have problems, needing help from the poor employee in the area who is usually rushed off their feet with customer issues. BUT at our local Coles there are usually only 1 or 2 manned checkouts available, with a) Long queues, and b) usually located at the...

    Are you ready for a cashless society? How Coles' latest change will affect your shopping routine

    We have a Sunday Market stall, and it is surprising how many stall holders selling large costly items, accept eftpos on their phones. We sell jams etc, starting at $2 and DO NOT have eftpos, but many customers don't bring cash with them!! My philosophy is 'Cash is King!" and there is no way I'll...

    Woolworths announces major offerings for Everyday Rewards members

    I am certainly not impressed by this initiative! It seems the idea is to raise other prices to pay for these discounts. I could not believe it when my hubby did some shopping at Woolies, based on my pre prepared list, and came home with a 2kg bag of sugar for $2.85, when last week it was $2.20...

    Score BIG savings! Woolworths offers new 10% off deal for Everyday Rewards members!

    We have always had 10% off each month x 2, by having a WW Credit Card, but alas no more, as Macquarie have taken over the card much to our dismay. What a way to treat loyal customers!!

    Shocking $336 glitch on Woolworths receipt leaves shopper speechless—could this happen to you?

    If I send my hubby to even get petrol, let alone shopping, when he gets back I ask how much and he never knows, and doesn't even get a receipt!!

    Banking

    I have a market stall and am amazed how many people expect me to have efpos! It's a market, so why go there with no cash? To expect to pay using efpos for an item at a market costing $2 is quite ridiculous!! So PLEASE, all you market goers - take some cash with you!!

    Gooday from North Queensland

    Gooday from North Queensland Hi I'm Mari and live outside town so with petrol prices as they are I don't get to the shops much. I like reading about the supermarket offers so I can take advantage when I'm shopping.
