    Australians grapple with soaring costs of everyday pantry staples

    I too have noticed these price hikes. I look at the Coles catalogue that I download online each week and use this to jolt my memory of something that I am running short of. I then buy while on special. BUT I have noticed that most items Coles brag are half-price is that they are unnecessary...

    I agree I have stopped watching BHG as I don't like the idea of showing a house that is way beyond the average buyer. It started as an idea we could use to improve in our homes and gardens.

    This 'appalling' brunch price hike exposes the deepening cost of living nightmare

    I am not in the catering industry but I realise that businesses have to charge the cost of producing an item. Cooking one person's breakfast takes time and with the cost of wages constantly going up then this has to be taken into consideration. I don't think $18 for the breakfast is too dear. I...

    Mum makes shocking discovery in beloved Aussie dessert: ‘Please be careful’

    Firstly with this report, I would say it is not a Coles problem. They do not own the company and only sell the products. It could be any of the supermarkets that sell these products.

    Prime Minister Albanese reveals a new plan to slash the cost of living for Australians

    The great debate on plane etiquette seat reclining

    I was on a flight some years ago when the people in front were most disrespectful. In front of me was a man and he reclined his seat so that I could not even have my dinner plate on the table.
