    End of an era: Nestle discontinues iconic Fantales chocolate after 93 years

    Such a shame. Trouble is there are too many choices these days with more and more being introduced to tempt us so some of the favourites are left off the shopping list to try the others. Probably also more costly to have to wrap each lolly so the less labour intensive ones are winning. I'll...

    Government agency warning! Turbo-charged scammers are using AI voice clones to steal from you! Protect yourself now!

    This is so disturbing. I understand technology has to get better, I guess, but it also opens up more doors for criminals to take our hard earned money. Not sure why AI is necessary when it is possible to rip off unsuspecting people. We should try to stop making it easier for scammers and find...

    Unlock the secret to saving thousands by understanding this one food label!

    My grandparents owned and milked a cow. It is one on my many memories spending holidays with them and drinking the freshly collected milk. Still warm and frothy. Not sure how I would go these days.

    Is going cashless taking away your freedom? Find out how businesses face consumer boycotts

    I recently booked a doctor's appointment online and had to enter my card details before they accepted the appointment. They charged me a card levy and also a processing fee. And that's before I actually see the doctor. Not happy about that. It is too expensive now to even need to see the doctor.

    Brazen act by Coles customer: 'I'm a bad man'

    In jest or not, it is not ok. The theft of baskets, and trolleys too, is a big problem for supermarkets. If he remembers to bring that basket back each time he shops then that would be a little better, but I'm sure he would need a new basket each time. And then where do all those baskets end...

    What one shopper found on Coles' shelves left them fuming

    These products are never returned to the meat, or dairy cases. They are written off as loss. I worked for Coles for almost 12 years and this is a very common problem caused by laziness and thoughtlessness. I could write a book on what I have seen over the years but I am aiming to use my...

    Here’s why shoppers can't get enough of these affordable Shapewear Jeans from Kmart

    Why do these shapewear jeans have to be so tight on the legs. I see that is to give definition but I dont like the tight ankle look or the shortness of the jeans. So will give them a miss this time.

    Technically yes, but the points earned to receive this discount were earned buying other things that she DID need. It is not a straight forward process.

    Important pension changes you need to know about starting July 1

    I would certainly hope they are automatic. The assessment process is so difficult. Centrelink already adjusts amounts from time to time, so they should be able to do it for this.

    What’s wrong with this photo of cucumbers wrapped in plastic, and why are Woolworths customers angry about it?

    The plastic issue is not going to be solved over night. Some things take longer. Reduction of plastic is happening so we need to be patient with the process and stop whinging about every bit of plastic that they see.

    Are you accidentally breaking this often-ignored road rule? The common act that could cost Aussie drivers $337!

    I'd be very surprised if anyone under 40 would know road hand signals. They are probably wondering what you are doing. Letting others know your intentions on the road is not always a priority with some drivers, even with working lights.
