    Are you overpaying? An expert reveals sneaky supermarket tactics inflating your bill!

    Another tactic is when they do a change around of all the isles. Just when you think you know where everything is. Apparently if you have to go searching for things you buy extra stuff along the way. I can relate to the eggs at the back of the store, many a time I’ve been searching for eggs 🥚!

    The truth is out! Surprising claim reveals what Australian supermarkets have been lying about

    One of my brothers in law never returns his trolley. He believes he’s keeping the trolley collector in a job. I have noticed in Sydney where you don’t put coins in for a trolley that there were trollies left everywhere. In Victoria where I live we have to put coins in, hardly any trollies left...

    Travel light, dress right with Japan Airlines' new rental service

    Fashion is a very individual thing. I wouldn’t be confident someone else choosing for me, especially if I had no other clothes to fall back on. But it might be something I did as an add on, taking some additional outfits with me as well. Might be fun to have some local fashion in the wardrobe...

    Even with Robodebt gone, why are Centrelink debt notices still causing stress and confusion?

    I have said before that Centrelink is the most frustrating organisation to deal with! And I feel the most for families and individuals cut off from their payments having to wait weeks to get reinstated.

    Saving lives, facing struggles: Paramedic speaks out about the new retirement age

    There’s a lot of us senior citizens! There must be some way we can band together and make a difference! I was just doing retail work at 63 but struggling to do 5 hours standing each day.

    Rental Property required in the Northern Suburbs of Perth

    I wonder if you qualify for a percentage of the house sale seeing you did all the improvements over the years! That’s quite a substantial rise in house value.

    Did These Supermarket Giants Exploit Their Workers?

    Terrible treatment of workers, I hope anyone who’s been under paid gets their fair due. These big supermarkets make huge profits, no excuses! Get it right Coles and Woollies! Everyone should get paid the hours they work, and if they’re on salary the hours should still be in their contract, pay...

    Do you have any special weekend rituals or traditions?

    Every Friday night dad used to come home with fish and chips, and often a box of chocolate eclairs and matches(these were pastries with jam and cream in the middle). To this day I love those foods (sweet memories).

    Shoppers can't get enough of this new dog vacuum now sold at ALDI

    No my dog isn’t used to any grooming drier either. He would hate the noise, couldn’t do it to him. I don’t mind all the vacuuming but I hate the dog hair on my black clothes. Would never part with my little Jack Russell though.
