    7 reasons why you’re better off with a sofa bed rather than a spare bed!

    It depends entirely on the occupants of a home/unit as to whether they have a bed made up all the time or just a sofa bed. For us we just have a sofa bed which is only used by myself as we no longer have guests stay over any more. Friends prefer to book into a motel/hotel and just come and...

    Costco vs ALDI: Which store offers you the best savings on your favourite groceries?

    For two people (and I do not live anywhere Costo) Aldi is cheaper. Do not have to pay a yearly fee either. Buying large quantities maybe ok for large families but not for us. Going to start buying Lite and Easy and have them on days when dont feel like eating so no wastage of food.

    Chaos at ALDI! Why were shoppers scrambling over this 'Special Buys' sale?

    Those cast iron pots....before you buy...pick up and feel the weight and then imagine when it is full of food. Far too heavy and down right dangerous for the elderly.
