Why does every suggestion, tip, or hint about tedious chores have to be a 'hack'? I'm not a spy breaking into secret computer systems, I'm just trying to minimise bloody housework!

Does anyone have a sensible suggestion as to why WA isn't included?

Where was this story dug up? There's a TikTok image showing the packaging label compared with the customer's scales (which could be wildly inaccurate). "Best before 24.05.20" - maybe the story is two years old, or maybe the chicken's wet from decomposition. Or has it been frozen since 2020...

In Katherine NT, Woolies had the trollies with wheels that locked if you tried to leave the underground car park. Quite a surprise if you didn't know and tried to get to the street-level parking, but not a mistake you'd make twice!

I've seen this one elsewhere. If you can't see it, you're not missing much. It wasn't funny the first time.

You'd think Dame Edna could afford to pay someone to make that ....................

I take it you have perfect eyesight? Not everyone does. Green grapes, and especially their juice, are hard to spot against a neutral colour like a supermarket floor.

I haven't seen grapes in sealed bags. Are they all the same weight? I don't usually buy prepacked produce because the packs are far too big for one person, so I hope this idea doesn't catch on.

If you look at the second photo of the cooler, the temperature range is clearly shown on the store display. I haven't checked, but I'd bet that the same info is on the label attached to each item.

Mandarins have loose skin and don't make a mess. I'd rather not be arrested for carrying a knife in a public place 😱

I don't know where you are, but here in WA the people at DiabetesWA are very helpful. You should be able to get advice or information from someone like that in your state.

The only person I listen to about food choices is a qualified dietitian. I have type 2 diabetes (controlled by diet, no medication). Every piece of advice I've had from GPs, magazine articles, well-meaning friends etc has been contradicted by another equally plausible piece of advice. I've...

I don't think "(c) the money" is an issue in this case, as she says she uses AfterPay to spread the cost. Of course that facility, being a form of credit, isn't available to those of us with no credit history and a low income.

One of my past employers did business with a major food manufacturer. They used heat stamps, so no inks came near the product.

Ummm .......... the customer is in NSW and the packet has the 'Made in Australia' logo clearly visible. What are you trying to say?

OMG!!! "Wake up" yourself!!! Possum Lover wasn't taken in by the caller and no harm was done. It was just an anecdote. It's a bit rude of you to assume they were fooled. Calm down and read what they wrote.

This might have been mildly amusing if posted on the right day, but nearly a week late is just a silly waste of time.

What's the point of setting an official 'poverty line' at $457 a week? What's it supposed to mean? According to that, I'm well into poverty! Luckily I don't have any significant health issues.

Most of my income is frozen at 2013 rates, and is too low to be taxable. I'm 70 but can't have the Age Pension until May 2023, so there's no help with rent etc. However I do have the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card which qualifies me for the one-off $250 payment. Am I moaning? Not really...
