    This wild trick reveals how you can get every last drop of tomato sauce out of the bottle

    When anything gets close to the end, I just store the container upside down. Whether it's sauce, shampoo or whatever. When you next use it the contents will be at the "top" ready to use. Far easier.

    This photo reveals the dark side of Australia's 'cashless future'

    And that is why the banks want cashless. More profit for them. Less staff needed. Less branches. No ATMs. And when power outages occur, what then?

    Dashcam catches Dan Murphy’s liquor theft on video

    I've literally watched them do it and walk out. They're professional and have no shame. Since we work alone in our shop we can not chase them and are told mot to anyway because many are violent if accosted.

    Coles’ new security gates cause concerns as they ‘lock in’ shoppers

    Has anybody noticed that we are being photographed whilst at the self serve checkout? I was shocked to see myself being filmed in the top righthand corner of the screen. When I asked the staff member what that was about she had no idea and said it was company policy. Well I dud nit give...

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

    Every single service the government has sold off/outsourced/privatised ends up costing the public more and more money. And, why? Because those private companies treat them as cash cows and are outright profiteers, pocketing hige salaries, bonuses etc while slashing services to the bone. The...

    Aussies fuming at this cafe's 'ridiculous' price for babycino

    When I took my grandkids to cafes about 6-7 years ago they charged $2 for a babycino. So it's a question of whether the cost of living has risen by 100% in that time. I, personally, would think maybe $2.50-$3 max would be a fairer price.

    Kmart shopper’s tricky theft sparks reactions online

    Sadly, the people who shoplift or do swaps are not all needy. In fact I'd go so far as to say fewer than most people think. I work in a clothes shop and literally watch people shoplift. They are professionals and extremely good at it. If there are no security tags on goods they just walk out...

    Woolworths faces lawsuit for allegedly exploiting workers with shift changes

    You're absolutely right. Many, many shops advertise trading hours but do not pay the staff for the time it takes to get the float out of the safe, check the float from the day before, go to the bank for change if necessary, check the stock etc before opening. Nor do they pay staff for cashing...

    Centrelink's Miscalculated Debts: A decade-long nightmare for welfare recipients

    I cannot believe you have had to endure this treatment. Was it an error on your part or theirs? Did they prove their case or did you take their word for it? If you still have no idea how this hapoened, I would go to see a lawyer.

    Centrelink's Miscalculated Debts: A decade-long nightmare for welfare recipients

    If I knew for a fact I owed nobody anything, I'd never pay any government department a so-called "debt" purely on their computers' say so. If they (and I mean a human "they") cannot produce solid written evidence, my first stop would be the lawyers. I would let whoever was trying to scam me...

    A secret closed court session ends in a Supreme Court judge facing unforeseen arrest and charges

    Anyone who thinks judges, magistrates, police officers, barristers, lawyers and all other members of the legal profession, do not commit domestic violence, are not paedophiles etc are naive. The only difference between them and the rest of us is that they are a protected species insofar as the...

    'Strange glitch' accuses Australians of owing back taxes from 2008 and causes 'unnecessary distress'

    This has to be illegal! 2008!!!! We are Told we myst keep our tax returns for 7 years. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, anything prior to 7 years should be written off! The ATO should be going after the big corporates, the wealthy etc. All those people who spend a fortune on crooked...

    A grocery code reviewer spills the beans: Suppliers vote ALDI as their top supermarket of choice!

    I suspect that Woolies and Coles treat their suppliers with as much contempt as they treat their customers. We, as customers, understand the dilemma facing suppliers and would love to see this system broken down. The "men in the middle" are making mugs out of us all and it's high time the...

    From ‘beautiful’ to ‘wrack and ruin’: Senior struggles living in mouldy, flooded house

    You would think that the government would do everything in its power to main its publuc housing to a high standard. They need to have a quality, high standards contract with perhaps a housing trust to run these homes and maintain them. My mother in the UK lived in a small retirement bungalow...

    I think it would be better if the fruit was given out at the checkout because I can't tell you how many adults without kids I've seen help themselves.
