    Are you up for a challenge? Save thousands of dollars this year!

    I thought the same. If I HAD that much money left over I could do it. We are pensioners and I DO save a small amount for the luxury of eating out sometimes.

    Are you up for a challenge? Save thousands of dollars this year!

    I did the same. I would never spend a gold coin. My friend and I used to go to trade shows in the capital cities so I'd save my coins for spending money. Mostly I would have around $250. Its a bit hard now that we use cash so little.

    Get ready for higher prices! Price freezes in two major supermarkets are ending

    We won't notice any difference. It seems all the price freezes were junk and convenience foods. Fresh healthy food just goes up and up and I'll bet the farmers don't see any of it.

    Shocking report details major altercation between Prince William and Harry

    I'd want to slap him (and her) too. I want to know what they have going for them after they have aired all their dirty laundry. They'll have to fabricate some.

    Woman’s head-turning funeral outfit shocks internet – ‘Are you joking?’

    That is absolutely disgusting - it just goes to show what sort of a person she is. There's a time and a place. Show some respect.

    Aussie family left in $375k debt over Christmas after bank error

    I can recommend Suncorp. I get a call when I pay a large bill every year and I've been transferring a good bit recently due to a change in our circumstances. I got the expected call about the unusual activity within hours.

    Same! We turned up to reception and I was chatting to the lovely girl about having an early start next day because it was our 30th anniversary and we were having a balloon flight. She upgraded us to a spa suite - we were rapt!! Unfortunately the balloon flight was cancelled because of the...

    Saying hello to strangers on the street – is it a thing of the past?

    I talk to as many people as I can everyday - I'm not shy. Some people will have a chat some won't. I always smile or say hello when I'm walking in the morning. I once saw a question "at what time do people stop greeting each other in the mornings and when do they start again in the evening?"

    I keep a very detailed database of my groceries (yes, I do have too much time on my hands, I am a pensioner :-)) In the first months until July I spent around $450, August to October around $550.
