    Coles shopper shares savvy shopping trick to fill your cart without emptying your wallet!

    Once again this sounds like a made up story. The 'special' tags also have the validity dates and if the tags left on from the previous week (or put there by someone scamming this policy) are out of date, there is no requirement under the code to hand over for free. If it did, put simply it...

    Given there is very little information on this article to validate said claim(s). ie. no indication of what State or any comments about the 'victim' sighting the property. I think it's a made up story. Absolutely no doubt about scammers being out there. But, this is a story straight off book...

    This designer's baking fail breaks the internet: ‘I’m so proud’

    I think this site gets a kick back from Aldi. I also don't understand why a store that even advertises it isn't the 1 stop store for shoppers sellers products that it compares to the premium brand but not the house brand equivalent. Obviously on that they will always be the cheaper. The...

    How Aussies can get health insurance for less than a cup of coffee a day

    I have private health cover (it's not insurance). I personally believe the money paid to subsidise private cover ($33+ billion out of the $85 billion health budget) should be put into the public health system.

    ‘This is crazy’: Expat's reaction to shopping centres surprises Aussies

    What a load of rubbish. Hadn't included where in the US she is comparing. Americans don't go to a 'shopping Centre' for grocery shopping, they tend to go to a stand alone massive store. Keep in mind the buying power of the US economy of 350mil + compared to 26mil. One smaller store customer...

    What these new road cameras revealed in this state will blow your mind!

    Firstly, the pension is NOT paid by the States. That's what this story is based on. Secondly, there NEVER EVER has been a 'fund' that the pension was paid from. Initially, it came from the taxes that were distributed to the States by the Federal govt. When the aged pension was established in...
