    Labor hints at 'big' cost of living measures in upcoming federal budget

    They talk about Cost of living expenses like its nothing to worry about. They talk about tax cuts, but they don't help pensioners. They give us a whopping $29.20 for married customers, where that will do nothing to alleviate the cost living for us. So Labor what are you doing for pensioners in...

    So sad for you Sam. I know how heartbreaking it is to lose your 4 legged baby. I still miss my girl Gigi and it has been years since her passing over that rainbow bridge. They love us unconditionally and we love them the same way. I pray that the days and weeks make it more bearable for you.

    ALDI tip that slows down checkout process sparks heated debate

    We have Aldi bags that clip over the frame of the trolley, so that when the items come through the register, we just load them into the bags, simple. Just put items on the conveyor belt in order eg. cold stuff, soft stuff, vegetables, and so on.

    ‘This is a trick’: Shoppers speak up on how supermarkets are quietly raising prices and shrinking products

    Shrinkage and price increases have now become the norm. We are pensioners and I have stopped shopping like I used to. 1kg Flora margarine went from $5 to $8.50. It's ridiculous how prices have surged since the pandemic. Supermarkets and suppliers think that the pandemic gave them an excuse to...

    Disturbing trend at major banks greatly affects many Australians

    Ms Bullock. You should be protecting Australians not Banks. In doing what you are recommending is charging more people a fee for getting their own money out of a bank. When will this lunacy stop! When will banks start treating their customers with some respect and stop trying to keep our money...

    Letter to ‘Mr Bean’ exposes shocking closure of BankSA branch

    It's bad enough they close branches, but to remove ATM's is a disgrace. To put in private ones where they charge between $2 to $4 is also a disgrace. It's saying to it's customers, your money is ours and you can't touch it. Stop using internet banking as an excuse, many people especially the...

    Woolworths CEO walks out during 'intense' interview: 'I think I’m done'

    Can't face the real truth and that is they are ripping off customers ever since the pandemic. And they continue to do that. People are just fed up with supermarkets and if we could we would buy from another source.

    I would like to see the powers that be try to manage on the pension. What with Power, Gas, Food and petrol rising all the time. They know absolutely nothing about the struggles pensioners have. Wow $29.40 that's going to really help NOT.

    Coles branch refuses to dispense cash to customers—find out why!

    This is so bad. Banks denying a customer his own money is disgusting. Closing so many branches is disgusting. It's their money, you have no right to deny them access to their money. What are we becoming, a Dictatorship on our own funds.

    ANZ secretly phases out cash services from several branches

    ANZ closed their branch at Leeton over 2 years ago. Then, they removed their cash machine from our town in Narrandera. To get any help you have to ring 1300 number and wait and wait. Finally, in frustration I went to the branch at Wagga and was given false information on our account and still...

    OMG. Coles is gouging us. Ever since Covid it's like they think it time to rip people off. Don't blame the poor farmer, who is only trying to make a living.

    New report unveils jaw-dropping extent of price gouging

    Woman orders TV on Facebook Marketplace but receives odd items instead

    Once I was trying to sell a dining setting square glass top table and 4 chairs. Had 2 offers to buy them, 1 buyer wanted me to put money in escrow to cover pick up and another wanted me to pay $600 for cartage. Told both of them to stop wasting my time as it was a scam just to get money out of...

    Beware of the counterfeit cash circulating in major retailers

    I think it's wrong to make holders of fake notes not to be able to hand them in and receive a genuine note back. This will only make people and shops reluctant to hand over fake notes to take them out of circulation. Some people will miss that $50 or $100 amount being scammed from them.

    Farmer gives away giant melons below cost amid supermarket price wars

    What I find sneaky is Coles, Woolworths and other stores put up discount stickers saying like 2 for $4, yet under that sticker its $2 each. So where is the saving? I feel if that is what they do to us, then, I can believe they are ripping off the farmer. We need farmers, otherwise we don't eat.
