    You won’t believe what this shopper did at Woolworths’ self-checkout: ‘Now I’ve seen it all!’

    Just an addition to my story above... If parents would make some rules when out shopping life would be so much easier and enjoyable for them as well as other shoppers. I made it a rule when my first child was born that I would buy him a chocolate frog but it could not be eaten in the car and...

    I agree with that as I love Granita biscuits and have been complaining to Coles in their surveys for years as to why it is on the top shelf and one day I asked one of the shop girls and she told me that it is the supplier who pays for where the goods are placed. I am short and I either have to...

    Australians set to spend more for Christmas, report finds

    I don't think this survey has been done with people today who are having money issues, no accommodation, etc. This only is going to make the children especially feel jealous of their friends who have so much more. It is a shame that Christmas and other occasions are being more commercialised. It...
