    Kmart shopper shocked by unusual detail found in popular wallpaper - Are you being duped or is this normal?

    Probably should be annoyed half way through wallpapering a wall, glue etc all ready to go then you find this, fair amount of inconvenience to the customer I would say. It may not be Kmart's fault as such, but who pays for the inconvenience when this sort of thing happens oh yes its the customer.

    Dashcam Footage Shows Reckless Move at Supermarket Car Park - Did This Shopper Go Too Far?

    The sooner the big supermarkets start making a charge for trolleys the better, this would make most people return the trolley to a bay and if they didn't someone else would come along and return the trolley for the cash.

    If she thought the dishwasher tablets were $10 but they were $18 x 2 , how about heading to the service desk and returning them, I'm sorry no sympathy here the dumplings weren't cheap either.

    Shopper sparks debate: Are self-checkout security measures going too far?

    I find them easier to use than waiting for a slow checkout operator. I can be through the checkout and gone before I would have even started through a checkout operator, sorry to say but that's the way it is, if they want a job and to not have it taken over by automation then perhaps put a smile...

Simple remedy if...

    Did your grocery bill suddenly go through the roof? Here's why

    I shop at Aldi, yes their prices have increased but not as much as Coles and Woolworths and their products are good, if not better than the more expensive brands sold elsewhere. Its all about choice if you don't like Aldi just continue to pay the inflated prices at the other supermarkets.
