    Having grown up in the days of no use by dates and in a country town where some products are not always available on endless supply I still abide by this way of living and only throw out some very minor leftover scraps of food.

    I get a daily email for fuel prices here in WA. I check each day and get from the cheapest sometimes it makes no difference using a voucher to get your 4 cents off. These vouchers from Coles are a sham. People who do not drive cannot get the benefit.

    Coles draws flak for ‘sneakily’ raising milk prices

    It was not so long ago when the supermarkets put the price of milk up by 10 cents which was I believe an increase for the dairy farmers. I fail to see this increase as being claimed as an 80 % increase as we have been paying $3.30 for quite a while and now it has gone up by 20 cents

    Coles draws flak for ‘sneakily’ raising milk prices
