    Kmart customers left confused after opening "Easter" crackers

    Is this normal use and hand washed in the sink older Bunnykins bowls? Or is it incase someone puts in dishwashers or microwaves, exposing to very high heat? I keep “antique” Bunnykins in the crystal cabinet - not to be used! Might sell when older to fund lifestyle! (I have real Pookie books, too❤️).

    My favourite Macca’s is Fillet o Fish, but the cost is outrageous, so hv not bought it for a long time (am on pension). Hard to understand any reason for increasing the Soft Serve Cone as 90% of McDonal stores regularly state the machine is BROKEN! (That picture is not a true representation of...

    Kmart's $4.50 Cleaning Product is the Best Kept Secret for Car Detailing, according to a professional

    A good CHAMOIS (sham ee) does the best job on external car surfaces. 20 years ago, I was given a GYM BODY CHAMOIS! It was so good, simple, easy to use, wring out, wash, dry, store and carry, that towels no longer take up lots of room on shelves. Instead, I buy Body Chamois in different colours...

    Personally, coconut sugar is a BIG waste of money, and not nutritionally better for humans at all, as is coconut oil. If you have lots of extra money and wish to follow a not nutritionally beneficial yuppie trend, that is up to you. A little bottle of coconut essence is our choice.
