    Why does this obscure policy at Woolies infuriate shoppers?

    I do my own shopping as I don't trust the stores to supply what I want. We had a delicatessen years ago and sold bread etc. Bread was delivered by the bakery every day and any unsold from the previous day was taken back to the Bakery. This does not happen today as we have often found the loaf we...

    Identifying AI made easier: Meta rolls out new measures for AI-generated tools

    I use Facebook mainly for my sewing groups but also follow cooking and gardening. I do not share any family details or photos. One time I was blocked for replying to a comment. The person was talking about perfume and asked what was one that we used years ago. I replied my favourite was Goya...

    These so called FREE items are what is causing the continual price of the groceries we buy from always going up. The items are not necessary so they should stop offering them for "free".

    Find out how this sneaky supermarket strategy is trying to influence you to buy brands!

    It is not us older people that need this advice as I think we are all aware of what the shops do to entice us into buying certain items. I do not buy most things that are in the store's catalogues as they are all not necessary. I make my list and only buy something other than my list because I...

    The shocking truth behind Commonwealth Bank's new 'cashless branches'

    I am very savvy with online banking where necessary but prefer cash for my shopping so withdraw the necessary funds from my bank. I would not want to use a post office because I understand that they charge $4 per transaction in or out

    Consumer groups demand industry action to reimburse scam victims

    I agree with Anna Bligh. My idea would be for banks and institutions would be to not release any funds made by the customers for at least 2 days. It seems from recent reports that people seem to realise shortly after making payments to these scammers that they have been caught and then try to...

    Can Dreams Predict the Future?

    Interesting article. I have had some nightmares where I have woken up with one and it was so frightening. But I also have ridiculous dreams like recently.

    Jetstar loses luggage containing rare and sentimental items

    Many years ago we were in Los Angeles and on picking up our luggage we had to show the ticket issued from Perth airport. This is a good idea as so many cases look the same.

    Protect yourself: Here’s how to spot the malicious 'I can't believe he's gone' Facebook scam

    I often see ads on the Microsoft news page when I go to the internet on my computer. I believe a lot of this is fake news. e.g. David Koch advising how he has made millions and the same with other known people. Also, this is on Facebook where at the moment we get sad news about Keith Urban...
