    Battle of the supermarkets: Loyal Woolworths shopper bids farewell to the store for Coles – “It might be time for a break-up”

    That is very true Ricci. I leave messages like 'do not squash my bread' and they are very careful of it. I shop at both stores and get exceptional click and collect service from both with the staff greeting me by name every time not because they see it on the bags but because they have good...

    This money-saving hack proves you have been drying your clothes wrong!

    Home & Garden Karlstert Sort & Carry Trolley Bags Large Set of 4, $21.95 (down from $55) @ Clearance Outlet

    I bought these years ago at Aldi but found the large ones far too heavy to lift out of the trolley and into the boot of my car. Had to remove a number of items first....they are now somewhere out in the garage never to surface again.
