    Exposed: How Coles' 'cheapskate' tactics on meat could affect your grocery bill!

    I always check the per kg price and the weight. Also check the per litre price for drinks. Most of the made up stuff I have found has added sugar, starches and other stuff I don't want to eat, so I pretty much make my own. I do buy the best mince

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    Sorry it has now been proven that fibre is not good. It actually aggravates the bowel lining. Berries are okay in season but just eat small amounts and see how you go. Put some thickened cream with them. Keep reducing the carbs as much as you can. You don't need them

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    Have you thought about going very low carb or carnivore. Plants have toxins that our bodies can't process. Oxalates and lectins are the worst. I we eat grains and seed oils we create inflammation in our bodies. Cutting it all out can heal. I know of some doctors who have had illnesses and life...

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    I do mostly lamb. I also do chicken wings in the air fryer. I buy steak when I can afford it. Fruit is only berries that I grow myself. I drink coffee with cream in it. I sometimes make my own yogurt. Pretty much don't do veg. Sometimes fry cabbage in butter with garlic and bacon. Good side dish...

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    I've gone the other way. Almost carnivore. Fell much better and blood work is excellent

    Thinking of trying a detox? Here’s what you need to know first

    I have never quite understood detoxing. That is why we have a liver and kidneys, they do the detoxing. For me detoxing is not eating junk foods, grains and seed oils

    ‘I’m not going to be cured’. How breast cancer awareness and support sidelines people with metastatic disease

    I really find this very sad. Many sufferers have it 3 or 4 times then get the bad news it's terminal. Personally I think we should be a lot more flexible with treatments. Some of the treatments seem to be worse than the condition itself. Lately there has been a lot of research done regarding...

    Discover the secret store that's helped shoppers beat the cost of living crunch!

    I do like Kmart but I think they risk becoming the cheap junk shop if they are not careful. I bought lovely ceramic storage containers for the kitchen. They have bamboo lids with a seal to stop moisture getting in. Went to buy some more, gone. Replaced with some rather junky see through stuff...

    Eating these foods could give you a younger-looking skin!

    Yeah sure. Flog the plant based diets. Humans cannot process and get the best nutrition out of plants. Meat eggs, dairy and fish are best. If you want radiant skin, use beef tallow.

    Are your dishes always dirty? This hidden dishwasher part could be to blame!

    Yeah not surprised. Stayed at a holiday unit a few years ago and no one had ever cleaned the filter in the dryer. Reckon no one reads the instruction manuals or they buy second hand or it comes with the house. so they have no idea. You can buy dishwasher cleaner. Works well but still need to...

    David Koch explains why younger Aussies have ‘short end of the stick’ in housing market

    I don't think it matters how old you are. Young ones can't earn enough to buy a place, rents are through the roof, probably because the landlords are mortgaged to the hilt. I also believe some of its greed. The I got it, you want it, you pay my price is rife in this country at the moment. Only...

    Shoppers in disbelief as Target fills aisles with Kmart items—find out why people are upset!

    Yeah pretty disappointed with Kmart. They were supposed to be going to buy everything from Vietnam but still the ANKO junk from China on the shelves. I bought some very nice ceramic containers with bamboo lids. Nicely decorated, blue with palms in white, green cross patterns and also native...

    Some seniors might soon be paying way more for aged care—find out why

    would be interested to see the figures. Many who went through the war died quite old. Still a few living now who are over 100. Depression took it's toll but in general people lived at home and coped will until death. I really thing we have been conned into believing that living in retirement and...

    Some seniors might soon be paying way more for aged care—find out why

    Probably just like shifting the deck chairs on the Titanic. We need a much better system but how about we start by stopping selling all the rubbish in the supermarkets that is making people sick and needing aged care. Our grand and great grand parents didn't need aged care and if they really...

    Discover the staple foods a dietitian always keeps in her kitchen for quick and healthy meals

    Oh so glad it worked. Didn't matter what we did our son just kept going. Ended up with cirrhosis of the liver and died 16 months ago. I come from Melbourne but have been in Brisbane for years. Move to a rural area 5 years ago but now going back close to the city to be close to family we have...
