    Retiree loses $110K in life savings to scam using Gina Rinehart’s image

    ‘I wouldn’t believe anything that’s on Facebook and I wouldn’t be giving any money to any company or business online,’ he advised. ‘If you want to invest, do it with a broker, face to face in your city. I don’t even answer the phone anymore. If I see a number I don’t recognise, I just don’t...

    Shoppers are shocked by this supermarket’s anti-theft tactic!

    I honestly do not care. If these thefts keep happening we all pay more in the end so if they can prevent theft using these devices it is fine by me.

    Saving money on cooked meats

    Yes I do the exact same thing. Been doing this for years now. I bought two small rolled pork loins the other day on special at $7 a kilo. Once cooked I used some for a baked dinner and the remained I cut into thirds and wrapped up in greaseproof paper and then clingwrap and into the...

    Parties double down on call to split Coles, Woolworths duopoly amid soaring supermarket prices

    It really hurt when I paid $3.40 for a 35gram packet of Spencers parsley flakes. They were the only ones on the shelf at the time. I know there are cheaper ones but no others were on the shelf at the time. My husband was horrified at the price as was I.

    Westpac brings out new strategy to save you millions from fraudsters

    Last night on TV news a woman (certainly not elderly) was conned (thinking she was talking to her friends on Facebook) into transferring $10K into some account under the assumption that if she did this she would get $200K in return. Honestly, where are peoples' brains??? As I keep on saying...

    ‘Several red flags’: Banker saves Aussie from a catastrophic $25 million scam

    AS I have said before it comes down to one word "GREED". A return of 12%...come on! Thankfully the NAB stepped in and checked this all out and saved him from doing something utterly stupid.

    Take entertainment to the next level with ALDI’s Special Buys!

    I personally would not buy a tv from Aldi...prefer to pay more and get good brand. Just yesterday I decided to see how old two of our Sony tv sets are. One was made in 2006 and the other 2011. They are not smart tv but they are still going strong and will not die apparently. We have a...

    Father instantly loses $150,000 life savings: ‘I feel sick just thinking about it’

    Yet another case of sheer stupidity. If I had got the email I would have been saying to myself "yeah someone I do not know has left me 3 million or so euros....pull the other leg". If I had any thought it was remotely legit I would have rung relatives to find out if someone in family had...

    Talk about a wake-up call! Breakfast prices leave customer iced with disbelief

    Correct. We are not stupid to pay those prices. Eating out used to be fairly affordable but these days it is beyond the pale with what is being charged.

    Detail spotted in ALDI bread sparks debate

    They must think ALL shoppers are stupid. Not me. Many times it is not cheaper to buy the specials at all.

    Best Budget Buys - Share your favourite budget supermarket buy, and you could win $100

    The best buy I have had was at the end of last winter. I walked into Kmart early one morning and they had a rack of mark downs. I got a zippered full length padded black coat with hood for the princely sum of two dollars. Yes, two dollar. Original cost on ticket was fifty five dollars.
