There's only one answer. DON'T BUY! The manufacturers excuse is pathetic. The public didn't ask them to move to Malasian new plant. They chose to because they'll make more profit. Just vote with your feet. I remember when I was at school in the UK and the snack shop sold Penguins and Wagon...

A tip. Do not use the Butterfully product in recipes that call for softened butter. I did and had lbig fails every time I tried to make cookies. Couldn't understand why when it had never happened before. When I analysed what I was doing differently it was this product as a (cheaper) substitute...

If you can avoid it NEVER, EVER use Marketplace for buying or selling. Avoid it at all costs. It is absolutely chock full of scammers. If you're unsure, always drill down into the person's profile. You will find loads are overseas and have no genuine profile. BEWARE!

I would say that's misleading and false advertising and I would definitely check with the ACCC.

They've brn doing it for a long, long time. Can't believe it's taken this long for people to wake up. It's precisely why the supermarkets posted obscene profits. Reduce the size of everything and up the price. Result? We're being ripped off and it should be illegal because technically the...

No sympathy whatsoever. He got his on the end, albeit, like Chris Dawson, far later than it should have been. Doubt he'll be missed. Hop Dawson will go the same way.

Don't think anyone should be paid if they don't work.

The 4 pack if Coral Baked Beans have dusappeared from Aldi's shelves. Haven't been seen for weeks! Why?! It is an everyday staple in everybody's pantry so have they been discontinued? Has Aldi forgotten to renew a contractt to produce them or has one expired? What has happened? These are not a...

Nope. Both sound revolting

Most peopke will never accumulate enough to pay for aged care. However, the aged care sector will seize this opportunity to ramp up theirventry and exit fees and hike the monthly admin/service fees. Nobody will end up being any better off

I have tried ready made meals from all the supermarkets and find that they are all of low quality compared to those in the UK When you look at what Marks and Spencer, Sainsburys, Tescos etc offer and their prices, there is absolutely no comparison. There is no excuse for low or poor quality and...

Here's another tip. And it's an important one. If and when anyone in the house gets head lice, flu or any contagious disease, deficate towels, bed linen etc to them and always wash them in the hottest water possible. And then IRON every item they are using. Ironing kills any germs lingering in...

That is how we always dealt with laundry. I grew up doing that. And when I eventualky had a dryer, I did the same thing. Fold it as you take it out of the dryer. In "the good old days" there were no man made fibres. It was all cotton and linen and we all know how they crease so of course you...

I think $75 for an item that originally cost $500 is reasonable. What us NOT reasonable or acceptable, however, is charging $20 fir items that originally cost $10 or $15 in KMart or BigW! And this is happening more and more frequently in some op shops. A lot of op shops are taking the mickey if...

Marketplace is the biggest scam site there is. A huge scam is foreign advertisers look up real estate in Australua and offer eg a luxury unit in Manly or the Dydney CBD or a family home for rent at $450 pw (dead giveaway). When you ask to view the "seller" asks for an upfront payment to "secure"...

Victoria's debt was well and truly blown way before Covid and the lockdowns. If you recall, he signed a MOU with China for the Belts and Roads initiative which he was hoping would solve his debt problems. Then along came Covid and all the related problems and the Federal Government put the cap...

Bit of a tricky one this. Years ago I owned a townhouse on the Gold Coast. I never once received a full month's rent from the agent because there were things that needed constant repairs. I accepted everything at face value for a year and then threw my hands in the air when I was being charged...

Working separately is a good idea. Difficult for any couple to sustain a relationship if they're living and working together 24/7.

If it were me, I would get a pro bono lawyer to write a letter advising you will not be paying until they a human being , and not a computer explained in detail sxactly how the debt occurred and was calculated. I would also advise they can take me to court if they wish. Put the onus on them...
