    Why is this ALDI customer outraged after weighing their ready-made chicken meal?

    He said there was 201grams of chicken in the butter chicken meal with sauce& rice.I gather it was a single serve meal. The usual recommendation For a serve of chicken is 90 - 100 grams for an adult so 201g seems pretty good. He said there was 201grams of chicken in the butter chicken meal with...

    Are you ready for a cashless society? How Coles' latest change will affect your shopping routine

    I prefer cashless, however whilst cash is still legal tender - cash should still be an option at all supermarkets. Many elderly people in particular and some people who just more comfortable with cash should be able to continue to use cash.

    Woolworths to continue expanding Metro stores in Sydney

    I’ve used Metro stores when on holidays - Burleigh Heads and Canberra come to mind. They were convenient and nicely laid out. I hope they will just be in select locations - such as holiday spots, inner city areas etc as they don’t replace the larger stores where people want to access a wider...

    'Affordable housing' draws flak for $1150 per week price tag

    I don’t think Bondi has ever been affordable to rent in. You can’t expect a low priced rental around there. May have to consider living in the outer west or other less desirable suburbs where it might be a little more affordable. We would all love to live by Sydney’s beaches however it just...

    Shopper slams Vinnies for selling second-hand jacket for $75

    Outrage ensues after landlord criticises tenant’s 'continuous' repair appeals

    Yes, should get the repairs done. You just have to. It is often difficult as a landlord - there are so many unseen costs that you have no idea of when you are renting. A landlord is fortunate if they actually get half of the rent collected over the year. Increasing quarterly Strata fees...

    Unlock the secret to gorgeous hair everyday with JSHealth's 'magical' hair care line!

    I’ve wasted so much money in the past on trying some new shampoo & conditioner that makes promises that simply won’t happen to aging hair. No way will I be taking a chance & spending $65 on a shampoo & conditioner. If it’s so good why don’t they offer a tiny sample to try? If it actually worked...

    Customer taken aback over the price of this fast-food brekkie: ‘That's a rip-off!’

    Big increase, however a good way to save on these meals would be getting into the habit of carrying a refillable water bottle with water from home rather than purchasing the bottled water.
