    Leaked emails expose how supermarkets profit more while customers ‘get screwed’

    PLEASE WATCH THIS IF YOU CAN: I have just finished watching SUPER POWER shown on ABC Four Corners last night on 19 Feb. This is a documentary all about Coles and Woolworths and how they justify their exorbitant prices for groceries. I found it very interesting to see how the CEO's of Coles and...

    Homeowner's nightmare: Popular vacuum combusts, prompting fire hazard warnings

    These lithium batteries should be banned as they are a definite fire hazard, you only have to see the number of incidences involving them, lives have been lost and damage has been done but they are still out there in all sorts of devices. When devices are fully charged, take them off charge...

    Multi-millionaire changes lives with giveaway worth over $50,000

    This is the best news I have read in a long time. What a kind gesture to be able to give out $250 Coles vouchers to people who can really use some help paying for overpriced groceries. I hope other millionaires can follow suit and do the same, which can be another great story - if only.

    ‘Stay vigilant’: Coles shoppers discover discrepancies in self-serve registers

    I have been caught so many times at the checkout with double scanning and being charged more than the advertised price for shopping. Now I pay close attention to the price tags and when I get to the checkout I try to watch the groceries been priced as they go through the checkout to make sure...

    Crimplene dresses

    My mum had a few crimplene fashion items in her wardrobe and the big thing was that it didn't need ironing as did everything else back then. The colours were quiet vibrant from memory.

    Jaffle iron

    Yep, had one of these, exactly the same. It was only used when we went camping and I used to put the bread and some baked beans then onto the coals of the open fire til toasted. So delicious! It was our go to for breakky by the fire.

    Channel Nine journalist loses $1200 to tricky concert scam: 'I felt sick to the stomach'

    I'm not a fan of Tay Tay but she must have something going for her if she can $1200 for a ticket, good on her. She has sold out concerts and people are paying top dollar to see her (the parents are paying for their kids to go). I would like to see my mother shelling out that much for a ticket...

    Cyclops Tricycle

    The kids down the road had the exact same one, they also had the blue scooter to match. I loved playing with their bikes as I didn't have one at the time. They had a good backyard to burn around in.

    Wooden pencil case

    I remember them but never had one. I remember the day I got my first tin of 12 Derwent coloured pencils. I was so happy as they were the best pencils for doing projects, such vivid bright colours. I treasured them and didn't like to sharpen them too much. All the kids wanted to borrow them and I...

    Sao biscuit with tomato and cheese

    Saos with tomato and cheese or vegemite, sometimes peanut butter and honey with a good cuppa will do me for morning or afternoon tea. They keep fresh in a large screwtop jar. I will never give them up!

    Bonaire cooling units

    Yep, we had one in the 70"s, looks exactly the same as the one here. They were a bit humid but better than nothing in the scorching heat.
