    Do you know about the 'shady' fee for using cash at Australia Post?

    So FED UP w being ripped off and HEAVILY PENALISED for paying a bill!! 1-2 per cent does not amount to much until you get into paying Bodies Corporate fees (Owners Corporations in Victoria), which can be in the $thousands. That is when the 1-2 per cent really kicks non-earning pensioners in the...

    Do you know about the 'shady' fee for using cash at Australia Post?

    It is Un-Australian, Un-Fair and downright Dirty Dealing! A large company called DEFT is employed by many corporations as a primary payment portal. So DEFT gets paid to ‘collect’ payments. But, DEFT charges 1.8% for anyone paying by Credit Card via the DEFT phone number. So DEFT gets to double...

    Red Rooster shakes up their menu with four new burgers, including their first-ever veggie burger!

    Delighted a watchdog bod has copped the same disgraceful 75minute wait that the rest of us suffer every day when trying to contact the bank for help! Optus takes longer and no one has good English! 75mins is the time to be stuck On Hold whilst the recording repeatedly tells you to use the...

    The fiery note this Aussie driver received from a neighbour sparks massive debate

    Hahaha! Not all councils think like that! They can always find something- like parked outside 5inches from kerb - that is illegal, or distance from end of a driveway, or a street corner - even if the driver/parker THINKS they are OK. We need MORE NeighbourHood Watch ppl, not less.

    The fiery note this Aussie driver received from a neighbour sparks massive debate

    I think she was LUCKY to hv someone trying to give her a “heads-up” to the regular Parking Officer attendance, so she is now aware. MORE ppl need to look out for each other is these days of youth crime every four minutes. If more ppl took notice of what is going on, less ppl wld be burgled...

    Customers slam McDonald’s for the ‘outrageous’ cost of soft serve cones

    Absolute and utter DISGRACE! Especially as store staff are so lazy that they refuse to clean these soft serve machines as required by McDonald’s which is why it is nearly impossible to buy a Soft ServeCone at any store in metro Melbourne! Apparently cleaning the Soft Serve machine is a job no...

    The items Aussies are removing from their grocery lists just to save

    Tell her to read the bottom of the first page of her Credit Card statement - it tells you exactly how long (how many years) it will take to pay off the balance owing if you only pay the minimum amount. Then read how much she will REALLY pay if she continues to do Minimum Amount every month. It...

    Could you be at risk? Undiagnosed cancer affects thousands, according to new data

    Clearly not in Victoria where even mammograms were banned in despicable Dan’s draconian Lockdowns. Cancer patients could not access testing, surgery, medication, stoma products - evil Dan did not give a damn.

    This 'ugly' Kmart top has shoppers buzzing: ‘I don’t understand these’

    Absolute rubbish! Not worth a Bent Penny! How much for this scrap of crap from China? Better to learn to knit properly, and make it yourself if you must have it - but why would you?🫨

    Shoppers swear by this $16 hidden gem in the frozen section of your local supermarket

    I do not see the reason behind everyone going batty over Turkey and Ham at Christmas. In Oz, the weather is often mild. Sometimes cool, occasionally super hot, sometimes pouring rain, or just a nice pleasant day. One year, we watched the parent’s pool overflow with rain water. For decades...

    Major changes at Woolworths spark fury—Here’s how your local deli counter might be affected!

    I usually find Coles deli counters quite busy, whereas the Woolies deli counters are devoid of customers and staff. Coles deli’s hv a bigger better range of products.

    Strange new security gates at Coles are creeping out shoppers: ‘What’s going on here?’

    All those MULTI MILLIONS spent installing ‘electronic gates’ that most criminals can leap over. It feels like we, the customers, are not trusted and not wanted in Coles. Woolworths is worse bcz they hv made their new shelving BLACK - terribly hard to see items, shelf heights are lower, fit...

    Outraged customer exposes KFC's 'small' chicken cuts: Are you getting less than you paid for?

    It is near impossible to buy the once standard size number 13 frozen chicken. A small chicken was the size number 11. If you had family coming to dine, you bought a Humber 15 chicken - that was the biggest available, then you rang mum to ask how long to cook it compared to the normal #13. (Go...
