    Breakup of supermarket giants? Senate inquiry backs suggestions against price gouging

    They have to do something about the price gouging. Suppliers and Producers of products should NOT be the ones to suffer. If they keep gouging from Farmers we won't have Farms to sell their products. So Supermarkets wake up to yourselves.

    Afterpay debuts 'delay and decide' scheme: Financial flexibility or folly?

    I have used Afterpay before and found it really helpful. Moving forward the date to pay would be very helpful as you say because of bank timetables regarding wages or pension. So I would be very glad if I need to use it again.

    Yes. Don't forget the Pensioner. We need help too. We have already paid our taxes over the years we worked. So give us a relief package too.

    ‘Recidivist sex offender’ set for release this year

    He should never have been released before. He showed no remorse for his crimes. Keep him in jail to protect other women.

    Can Centrelink payment hikes boost music festival participation?

    You know, us Senior citizens would love extra money so we could enjoy a night out ourselves. But, we've done our time in employment and are now retired, but we are not dead. How about trying to really trying to get a job so you can afford to go to festivals like we did in our younger days...

    Trusted family friend turns into a brutal attacker—‘I had no idea what’s going on’

    Well being a Senior citizen myself, I feel that this man should be sentenced to jail. He has attacked a elderly lady in her own home without saying why. I myself would be like her, scared and afraid that he could harm her again. The system is broke when you don't protect the innocent.

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

    You call that not getting it right? Have your workers heard of boxes that other items come in, REALLY! I would have made the deliverer take them back at get a refund. That's just a lazy worker.

    Woolworths’ decision on iconic ANZAC Day tradition leaves veterans outraged: ‘It’s common courtesy’

    It's disappointing to see Woolworths again not supporting Australia's heritage. First Australia Day, now Anzac Day. Very unaustralian Woolworths. Do you think that this will stop us remembering those who lost their lives or returned home with injuries sustained in conflict of war. We Will...

    Supermarket inquiry reveals heartbreaking struggles Aussies are facing

    I find that being in a country town, we don't have a plethora of supermarkets to choose from. I try to save money by going to Griffith where they have a Steggles business and buy eggs, Chicken drumsticks, Chicken Maryland and Chicken breast in bulk to feed us. I find that this helps spread our...

    Parties double down on call to split Coles, Woolworths duopoly amid soaring supermarket prices

    As a pensioner I have noticed that food, fruit and vegetables and meat are just over the top in prices. Recently I have noticed that Flora margarine 1kg tubs went from $5 before covid and rose to $8 for a while. It is only now that having the big supermarkets checked has the price dropped to a...

    Cash or card? Coles' bold new checkout policy might affect how you pay in the future!

    I think that we still need to have cash. Not all businesses are set up for a cashless society, plus the seniors of this country don't have access to computers or the internet or the knowledge of using them.

    Here's how Aussies can score incredible grocery haul for just $10

    We live in a country town in Narrandera. What I would like to know is why we don't have something like this in our town . Even to have a Country market where we can buy produce from farmers would be a help. There are a lot of pensioners doing it tough.

    ALDI's card surcharge sparks concerns among shoppers

    I find Aldi far better than Coles, but sometimes we have to shop there as Aldi does not have everything we need. Still save heaps of money at Aldi though.

    Farmers expose unfair practices of supermarkets amid ‘price gouging’ investigation

    I think that Albanese should be looking at what the poor farmers are experiencing and help them. We need to support them, rather than just throwing out words of this is not Russia. Supermarkets have had it their way for too long and if we drive the farmer off his land, then where do we get our...

    Yoghurt yikes: Are your Coles yoghurt tubs secretly being skimped?

    Amazing. When I mentioned about the tubs of 1kg Flora going from $5 to $8, this week they have come down to $6.95. Much better than before Coles. Now keep it that way for us.
