    Big W's decision to triple layby fees sparks outrage among shoppers

    I guess there were a lot of closed lay-bys when the pinch was on through covid... and I get that they have to hold goods instead of getting their money straight away, but huge price increases like that are a bit harsh...as it's usually pensioners and low income on tight budgets that need to use...

    Lamb used to be the cheapest Aussie meat, now it's just about the dearest....I buy it rarely as a treat for my husband if I see it on special.

    Lotto Curse: The Aussies Whose Lives Were Destroyed After Winning Millions

    It's not the Lotto that destroys people's lives and friendships... its human greed and stupidity!! If you buy a ticket between friends, then obviously you split it equally...if it's a regular ticket and someone hasn't paid, then obviously they miss out (unless they are on holiday and always pay...

    What do Americans think about Australian cuisine? The answer will shock you…

    I guess our healthy fresh food attitude would seem boring to the American palate, as I lost 6kg last holiday to USA...I couldn't stand the over processed, over salt/sugared everything and really struggled to find things I liked to eat there.

    New study suggests that shopping home brand ALDI products can save you more than $2,000 a year

    I can't shop at Aldi, I have a bad back, and all the double handling to pack is ridiculous....as they have to pick up the item to scan it, how it takes any more time to drop it in your bags rather than in a trolley is beyond me!! No customer service...it should be cheaper!!
