    ALDI may be the most budget-friendly supermarket, but here's WHY you should 'think twice' before going

    I love my Aldi. Always get fruit & veges cheaper. Meat is reasonably priced. They most always have everything I need or can substitute with. No Pepsi Max though. Bugger.

    Is it unreasonable to expect your husband to celebrate Mother's Day with you, even if he works night shifts?

    It's only one day to celebrate the mother of your children. Not that hard to say,"Thank you for being the mother of my children". Also birthday is the one thing that is your own special day. What happens if you don't acknowledge his Birthday or Fathers Day. Does that matter?

    Woolworths shopper faces backlash after complaining over a frustrating find in a pack of coleslaw he purchased — “First world problems”

    I can understand this problem. I buy coleslaw & expect it to be shredded, not big chunks of root matter that you can't even eat. I often have to discard big chunks that would break your teeth if eaten. When you buy prepacked goods, you want to be able to use the whole lot, not take out, or cut...

    Best deal ever. And the coffee pods are very good taste & reasonable prices. I got this deal a few years back & was very happy with machine, which I used constantly until it died. Will definitely get another. Thanks Coles.

    Plenty of shoppers admit to doing this “therapeutic” activity in stores – do you do this too?

    Lol. I just said I'd come & sort stuff out when I feel like it. At Aldi. I told them not to move products to other shelves. Because people are always asking me where stuff is & I can direct them.

    AIBU for telling my parents I would not care for my obese brother?

    You stick to your guns. Teddy is an adult & can go into care, nursing home if your parents can't look after him. Don't fall for the guilt trip they're laying on you. Look after your own family. If you are well off, maybe offer to pay towards a lap band surgery & counseling for them. It's their...

    Abandoned by my siblings.

    Thank you for your reply. I do understand about Palliative care order & when a person says, "I don't want to live like a vegetable or 4th stage cancer, put me to sleep" My dear friend Carol was only 60. She had stomach cancer & we said goodbye to her on 10 March. I have sat with 2 other people...

    Abandoned by my siblings.

    Abandoned by my siblings. My mother, who I adored, turned 90 in November, 2019. We had a huge family party at her nursing home. 4 days later, on Tuesday night, she was sent to hospital for unknown pains? The doctor did blood tests & told my sisters, that her kidneys were failing at 6%. He...

    Should you go to your father’s funeral despite him distancing himself from you for 30 years? Social media divided on a heated debate

    It sounds like you need to go for foreclosure for yourself. My father cut me out of his life, will, everything. I rang hospital to see if he wanted me to visit & he said, " Tell her to get f::::" my siblings & mother, pleaded with me to go to say goodbye. I went for them. My 3 adult sons refused...

    Plenty of shoppers admit to doing this “therapeutic” activity in stores – do you do this too?

    Good to know I'm not the only one with OCD. Lol. If I'm in Best & Less, I'll sort out all the different sizes of undies. In Aldi, the school kids have a fun time putting products all over the store in different locations. I'll gather up these products & put them back in their correct place. The...

    Toilet seat up or down? Woman’s unfortunate incident has people’s opinions divided

    Health wise, seat & lid down. The flush of the toilet can send particles across the room & tests have revealed feaces on toothbrushes. Yuk.

    Aldi shopper’s hilarious find in the freezer aisle of her local store leaves social media “FROZEN” — “I totally laughed out loud!”

    You can always tell when the school kids are around. Products are moved all over the shop to different locations. I'm talking hundreds of products put in wrong places. Not funny when staff have to spend hours reshelving everything or binning the melted icecream etc.
