    Ex-police officer falls victim to impersonation scam: Police advise what to watch out for!

    Totally agree. I have been suspicious of doing financial transactions on my phone. I only use for text messages mostly. Not a phone person at all. Feel much more secure using my home computer and like to have a big screen as well.

    Uncover heartbreaking reason behind shopper's 'obsession' with $2.50 Woolworths item

    I would assume single size servings are more costly??? If that is the case why not pal up with a friend and when you say buy a bag of oats or whatever it is you buy....why not go halves?

    Get the $600 look for only $10 with this Kmart dupe: ‘I am here for it’

    I would not know a fashion dupe if it jumped up and hit me in the face. These days I have enough clothing to last me and I go to the Op shops for a bit of fun and usually find something at much better pricing. Why anyone would pay a huge amount for a sleeveless top defies belief.

    Supermarket outcry: ALDI shoppers outrage over 'disgusting' meat product

    On at least two occasions I have gone and found an assistant to show her that the meat (still within date) was blue looking. On both occasions this was early morning and was the top packet of meat so I just do not understand why the staff are not checking when they put the product on the...

    Warning to all members - Remote access scams costing victims tens of thousands...

    Very lucky there. I have found that just not answering any phone calls I do not know works for me. I have an answering machine and figure if they are legit they would leave a message....none ever do.

    Telstra rings changes: Mobile plan costs dial up concerns amidst price hikes!

    I use very little data or my phone all that much. Last time I recharged with Optus (I have prepaid for 365 days) and it cost me $170. It is going up quite a bit and I am going to be looking elsewhere due to my usage being almost negligible.

    State government offers $6,000 payout to Aussie drivers! Are you eligible?

    No way. At my age my driving days are in their twilight years but I will stick with my 2011 toyota corolla with only 48K on the clock and it has never missed a beat due to servicing and only driving locally. It will see us out and our annual petrol bill is under $600 usually. The idea of an...

    Is it located with the cheeses or in another part of store?

    Powering down costs: Aussies spark with joy amid energy bill savings!

    We pay .24 per kWh the reason being is that volunteers in the Village read the meter and I think we get a special rate.

    Powering down costs: Aussies spark with joy amid energy bill savings!

    If you are a self funded retiree and live in a RAAF retirement village here in WA you will have to fill in a form by going to the Finance Dept web site. The form to do so will not be available online until 31July. How do I know? Because I sent an email to the Finance dept and was told this...

    Yes you are right and I do hope they do not follow suit.

    Is your internet bill about to skyrocket? Here’s why 69 per cent of homes could be affected

    In our RAAF village we pay $36.95 per month....wonder if there will be a rise. Even so I do not expect to pay anything like those mentioned above. It is a local Perth company so hope it does not get absorbed into one of the larger ones.

    Shopper spots flaw in this $18 Kmart item: ‘Vastly different fits’

    If you are say size 12....take more than one size 12 into the change room. Especially if you are looking for a larger waist band on a pair of slacks. As someone said when they cut the fabric the ones on the bottom of the pile will be different to the first couple.

    Prepare your wallets: Here are several changes in the new financial year

    If you live in a retirement village where you are NOT billed directly (the village is billed and we pay the village) you have to apply. We have had to do this two years in a row and it is a pain in the neck. Have to provide a copy of our power bill as at 30th June and prove we live here...

    Prepare your wallets: Here are several changes in the new financial year

    You are correct. As long as you are paying for electricity you will get the $300 $400 + $700. I think people are getting confused with "Energy Rebate" and "Energy Concession"....two different things
