    Discover how thrifty shoppers are using 'ALDI islands' to entertain crowds!

    Charcuterie is just an “in” term, same as grazing table. But the amount of food is greatly increased to have a wonderful eye appeal. Unfortunately I have seen so much left over food that quite often can’t be reused and has to be thrown out at most of the events I’ve been to that have had them...

    Shoppers are loving this 2-in-1 Kmart item: ‘Definitely a need’

    Going from the photo I don’t get how you iron a shirt, dress, etc on a rectangle that won’t fit around neckline, shoulders on clothes. Fine for simple flat ironed things like t-shirts. Then again I might just be missing something.

    Council uses this Wiggles song to drive away the homeless: ‘We are deeply disappointed’

    Perhaps the Wiggles can just send an invoice to Council for each time the song was played without their permission. I did notice that the council denied the high volume playing but is still playing it at a lower volume. This kinda reminds me about councils using loud bangs, etc to rid areas of...

    Discover Costco Australia's secret 'warehouse sale' for everyday groceries

    I love Moccona coffee pods. I can buy 60 pods for $24.99 at Costco (less if on sale) or I can buy 10 pods for $7.00 at Coles ( on sale $4.95). I have a L’Or coffee machine that takes several brands of pods. The L’Or pods at Costco are 60 pods for $28 or $7-8 at coles for 10. I don’t buy many...

    ‘I love this!’—Popular cheese advent calendar is finally back at Woolworths

    Just a query: if it only weighs 250g then how big are the cheese samples. Reckon a bit too small to share, especially at that price. 12 samples + 12 Jatz and that’s 1 day of Xmas gone. Gonna be an expensive advent time this year!

    Coles' major update is set to change your shopping experience

    As far as I know they haven’t mentioned making the shelves higher, just adding doors the same as the frozen section has. So the people who have difficulty in reaching the top shelves in the store will continue to have the same difficulty and use the same solutions as they do now. The only thing...

    Why spend more? Get the same luxe scent with BIG W’s $14 designer dupe!

    I’ll stick to my favourite - Shalimar by Guerlain. Figure tbat if it has been around since about 1922 and doesn’t have an old lady perfume smell that it definitely has something going for it.

    Kmart’s latest clothing line has everything under $35—don't miss out!

    I am so tired of every time an article about cheap clothes and accessories is written there are the comments about cheap labour and bad conditions in China. Yes we all are aware but none of the people who point this out ever give a price effective alternative. Some people have themselves and...

    Experts reveal how downsizing could be the unexpected solution to the housing crisis

    I would gladly downsize in minute from my 5 bed home that’s falling down around my ears as the years pass. I live alone and have no other income except my aged pension. I want to move into a 2 bed unit. But the cost of a one bed is the cost of a small house and a two bed adds another $80k-$100k...
