    Shoppers' Hilarious Reactions to the 'Spooky' New Addition in Kmart Stores

    Quite frankly, this bot should be out front of the store. The checkouts should desensitise barcodes so the robot can also pick up stolen items...then honest people wouldn't be searched, and made to feel like criminals. I only shop there when I HAVE to...about once a year....

    From Bulk Buys to Big Savings: Is This Budget-Friendly Retailer Cheaper Than ALDI?

    I understand that a lot of people here site the excuse "I live alone, so not viable" so why not form a co-op with friends and buy certain products twice a year? And share the expense and products....where I live, I'll be lucky to see a Costco in my lifetime...country area hundreds of kms from...

    Shoppers are fuming over this 'frustrating' Kmart checkout detail! Do you agree?

    We have had the new format of central checkouts for 2 or 3 years now. I've shopped there only when I had no other choice, which is rare....I HATE the format, and HATE being made to feel I was a thief. Pay at a checkout and walk out, that's how it SHOULD be...I'll buy online, and wait weeks for...

    Vintage Grocery Ad

    I remember these days. I remember when a huge shopping spree at a grocery store cost $6.00, and that included going to a butchers, and a bakers, as the supermarket didn't sell fresh meat and bread then..Rent was around $10 and wages were about $25-30...I could always afford a handbag & shoes(...

    Random act of kindness at ALDI divides the internet

    I dress extremely well, and don't look poor, but I am. With 4 food allergies, I have to shop extremely carefully, and sometimes have to go without one or 2 items on my list...I'd love it if someone paid my bill...but I shop online, so I'm not embarrassed at having to remove things at checkout...

    Unit Pricing 101: How to Shop Smarter for Groceries

    This is how I've always shopped, even before unit pricing...sometimes buying 2 small is cheaper than buying a big one, usually because of sales...I just eat less nowadays. Usually 1 main meal and a snack nowadays, as I have 4 food allergies, so our prices are at least double to 10 times the...
