    You could save hundreds with Woolworths' new Everyday Extra rewards system!

    It only works in their favour, if you go to Coles, Aldi etc and not WOW then they still get yr $7 that month - they are tying you to them = forced loyalty. I shop WOW for specials and all items that Coles has deleted. As a single pensioner I have to shop specials. So frustrating that Coles is...

    You could save hundreds with Woolworths' new Everyday Extra rewards system!

    Local butchers usually hv better meats, and will cut to size for you. Example: Supermarkets only sell in lamb liver /lamb’s fry in 1 kilo lumps, when all you want and need is a small piece for one meal maybe once or twice a year. Liver does not freeze well and who wants that in their freezer...

    You could save hundreds with Woolworths' new Everyday Extra rewards system!

    Agree! So many ways to save money UNLESS you are single. Once again, it is women who suffer this discrimination most bcz there are more of us than males. We earn less, hv less superannuation and live longer. Three thumbs down already, then the supermarkets punish us by offering great savings...

    Get free stuff from BIG W! Here's how to join their secret product testing group

    It wld be great to hv the opportunity to “test drive” products for our local population’s purchase. So much is imported that really is not worth our buying it. The frustration and disappointment when an item falls apart after a few uses, pens that fall apart in just being yr bag, clips that...

    Introducing the brand new Connoisseur ice cream flavours, for the ultimate sweet tooth!

    Cannot go past the Weiss Pineapple-Lime & Vanilla 1ltr. Not keen on crushed bickies in my icecream - to me it is just filler. Although, I am not beyond dousing a small fruit pudding in brandy and stirring that through partially melted vanilla icecream then re freezing it. Very yummy. WOW...

    Woolworths ditches cult favourite ‘Bag for Good’ for a new version and customers are not happy - Here's why

    Keep a few cardboard boxes in yr car. Toss shopping back in trolley & pack it into boxes & bags when you get back to yr car! That’s what I’ve wound up doing lately. Always have a folded up nylon bag in my shoulder bag for carrying things I may buy coming thru town, so that is always useful.

    Violet Crumble Is Making A Huge Change After More Than 100 Years - Here's the ‘Berry’ Exciting Twist

    They fiddled w the chocolate coating on Violet Crumble Bars - nowhere near as nice as it used to be. White chocolate is not ‘chocolate’. It is the poured off & solidified fat left that they pour off the real chocolate. And, their dark chocolate is too dark for me. Anything over 61% makes me...

    Bunnings Warehouse is making a huge change to its inventory - here's what you need to know

    I wish Bunnings wld stock what we want! It is just the same old stuff they’ve had for years! I buy it n line frm overseas bcz I cannot buy simple products here. Australia is way behind the rest of the world in hardware options. Bunnings does not even stock large light switches where the switch...

    Utterly DISGUSTED!! Absolutely zero need to do this heinous build and add to the decimation of our already desperately struggling INNOCENT WILDLIFE! A REPREHENSIBLE act of Corporate Greed! WOW has just lost my loyalty and trade! It is Sickening!

    When you have the round plastic lids from the small-med-large takeaway containers, or Large yoghurt, keep the lids as they are great when making hamburgers to keep the burgers separated and basically the same size. So easy to stack in the freezer! The rectangular lids are good for separating...

    Birthday boy receives a scathing letter from a neighbour – ‘Be a respectful adult next time!’

    Try the 17yo birthday party of my neighbour’s selfish little sod! In a block of 12 flats, it started at 5pm and ended 2am. One request to turn music down, but her rude guests thundered up & down the internal stairs, yelling, shouting, squealing, bellowing, pounding fists on doors, kicking doors...

    Mum shares her bathroom renovation gone WRONG: 'I would not be paying for that'

    I took old stained pine doors off bathroom cupboards as they always reminded me of a Fish’nChip shop Circa 1960s. Sanded, primed 2 coats, sanded, painted 2 coats in white, sanded, primed twice again. Let sit for six weeks to set paint. But after 12 months, 2 doors are not re-attached. It took...
