    Health officials encourage vaccinations ahead of looming flu season

    Polio has NOT been eradicated and is on this rise again. TB is highly prevalent, especially in NT, thought to come in from Asia. Australia no longer quarantines visitors from overseas countries. It is highly advised that when you turn 50, you get the combined DIPTHERIA and TETANUS booster shot...

    Unlock the secret trick a savvy shopper used to slash her grocery bills!

    So fed up w supermarkets constant DISCRIMINATION against single ppl - you know, the ones w little refrigerators, tiny freezer, no cupboard space or storage! Meat only comes in 500gm or bigger sizes. Would like to by K-ROOs meat but they refuse to pack in 200-250gm sizes. Even mince is 500gm...

    Dietitian reveals the top supermarket choices and her ultimate favourites!

    ALDI has LO-CARB BREAD $3.30 loaf. Plastic has pale teal colour bands. It is THE most delicious, utterly scrumptious, “to die for” white bread we’ve come across for years. It tastes like, smells like, is just like the way REAL bread used to taste years ago! Love the ADLI LO-CARB BREAD. Ultra...

    Unlock the secret trick a savvy shopper used to slash her grocery bills!

    Like to know what State and Suburb does this. I asked Woollies if they wld reduce a bag of potatoes bcz 2-3 small spuds were a bit green. The man snatched the bag from out of my hand and said we can’t sell them like that, they’ll be thrown out! Rude and what a waste. Nothing wrong w the rest...

    Shopper exposes Coles' curious 'discount'—and employees are defending it!

    I often lift up or peel away the “Special” label covering the original shelf price to see what the usual price is, or if recently increased. Same at Chemist Warehouse. Just bcz they claim it is “special” does not mean it is. Sometimes they do it to move stock before price rises. I hv learned...

    The SDC’s Novelty Hot Cross Bun Rankings 2024

    My fave is the Apple and Cinnamon buns. Apples and Cinnamin are both very good for human beings. The buns do not even need ‘butter’.

    ‘What’s that smell?’: Man’s shocking ALDI rice discovery makes his stomach turn

    Issue is with FAILED QUALITY CONTROL. Getting through to Aldi is impossible. All you can do is package up the entire mess - with receipt- and return it all to the Aldi store for refund. Try buying smaller sacks of rice?

    Princess Catherine breaks silence about prolonged absence

    Not shocked at all. Given the time “off duty and out of sight”, it could only hv been cancer fitting that time line. Been there, had that. But she is young, healthy, and fit so she will be OK. Very lucky to hv such good caring family to support her. Maybe now, a few more doctors might stop...

    Is your wallet about to become obsolete? Discover when Australia plans to go completely cashless

    Commonwealth Bank - average Wait time “On Hold” is 1 hr 47minutes, then another 30+ minutes whilst they try to find someone to talk to who can assist! This followed by having to visit a branch for over 1hour only to find problem still not solved. This followed by another visit to branch again...

    Woolworths sneaks freebies into customers' receipts—Read this so you don’t miss out!

    No. Never heard of or noted it. I wish they’d return to putting the shopping discounts of the back of the docket! They were very useful!

    Clean your fly screens like a pro with this Kmart product!

    I take the flyscreens off, put them in the shower and clean them in there with running water. I get to remove all gunk and clean the frames as well. Gently wipe over w chamois, then they drip dry. Yes I get wet but that’s OK - at least I know they are all clean and done. Then just put the...

    'Sneaky' gratuity charge leaves woman out of pocket—are you a victim of this too?

    Rarely, to date. We only TIP if the service and experience was excellent! Unfortunately, we are finding that most ‘service’ is careless, even grumpy, younger waiters answer back and argue with paying customers, and have soured the experience more often than not. Charging an extra ten per cent of...

    We USED to see roadside F&V stalls everywhere when we drive more than 30mins outside Melbn. Apples, Potatoes, Plums, Strawberries, Pumpkin, Onions - by the big bag or by the CRATE! Sometimes we even saw condiments like jam & chutney for sale - all homemade. Early Saturday-Sunday mornings...
