    Transform your travel experience with this astonishing $10 Kmart find!

    these are a little different, they are just for travel purposes. You load them and seal them, then roll up to force air out the 1 way nozzle, don't use a vacuum to extract air.

    Woolworths fined for selling stale fare, leaving customers feeling sour!

    As the article doesn't say if it was an expired use by or a best before date, the area is very grey. Use by cannot be sold by law, however best before is an open answer. Like so many laws in this country, no uniformity. Bread is the best example of this, the label will potentially say date it...

    SDC Trivia Game #316 - 06/04/2024

    A very poorly worded question. The channel is 560km wide. You would be correct if the question was distance from English coast to French coast, that's not a span.

    Aussie entrepreneur slams ALDI’s $50 dupe of product, says store ‘blatantly copied’ design

    the knock off will last for as long as the store warranty cover does. Cheap knock offs just don't last, so the savings are a false economy. You always buy the best possible quality you can afford. Knock off are not made to a quality, just a price.

    Woolworths fined for selling stale fare, leaving customers feeling sour!

    I've seen plenty of examples of fruit being thrown by the staff stacking produce. Maybe a new staff member doesn't know what to do, but certainly don't need 'authority' from a supervisor to cull over ripe produce. Most produce in big supermarkets doesn't sit for weeks on end, they are ditched.

    then go back to the store and take up their offer of satisfaction or money back. Make sure you have the receipt to back when you purchased said produce.

    Study shows two-thirds of retirees feeling the pinch amid cost of living crunch

    Welfare is not a right, it's based on eligibilty. Otherwise, on top of the generous super payments politicians would also be receiving the aged pension. Famously, Billy McMahon took the aged pension along with the equally generous super payments. To prevent those that could afford to self...

    Study shows two-thirds of retirees feeling the pinch amid cost of living crunch

    I'd suggest Rob44 is closer to the mark on full aged pension (emphasis on FULL). Just under $40k for a couple, plus other possible allowances, rental assistance etc. (add $4500k).

    Cash activists withdraw over $500,000 from ATMs to show ‘clear message’

    Such an insignificant amount and number that it wouldn't even be rated. If that's all a designated protest day can generate they haven't put up a valid argument. R.I.P cash is all this has said. I have the same $120 in my wallet that I've been carrying for well over a month, just don't have a...

    This driver’s 'crazy' excuse after getting 22 demerit points has everyone talking

    Most likely he wants to be a cop. Witnessed sufficient cops doing over the limit on roads or talking on handheld mobiles (they're exempt) but question why the driver is talking and not the sidekick. Over the limit isn't something new, but cameras have highlighted the incident more and more. A...

    Woolworths $800 delivery leaves shopper speechless: ‘This is a joke’

    They are recycled, space is the consideration, they pay for floor space just for a few customers that may use boxes. Most boxes are a tray and shrink wrapped, also designed to be opened and whole tray is placed on the shelf as part of the display, so therefore useless for carrying anything in.

    Woolworths $800 delivery leaves shopper speechless: ‘This is a joke’

    Another story from social media that I call bull$#!t on and question the validity. Every time I've had any deliveries, they come bagged and sealed. Otherwise, how the hell does the doordash or uber delivery know what to deliver to where? Sounds like another scammer trying to get money for...

    ALDI’s new microwave toastie maker has shoppers melting with excitement!

    Another piece of rubbish that someone clearing out an estate will find hidden away in the back of a cupboard in a few years time. A bit like the K-Tel (I'm going to say from our parents era) a pie makers everyone 'had to have' years ago.
