    Coles, Woolworths, and Costco: Are their paid memberships worth it?

    I also live in rural Victoria and it is way cheaper paying membership to a supermarket than the cost of petrol and time it would take me to get to the nearest supermarket. Unfortunately there is no Costco within cooee of me and I've never been to one so can't comment on them.

    I also had the same issue when I first opened this email, only half the article, but I have just come back to the article again and low and behold it is all now visible! A bit of a glitch there I think.

    Battle of the Homebrand Salted Butter: Woolies vs. ALDI vs. Coles vs. IGA

    I ONLY use salted butter, I can't see the point in using unsalted butter in a recipe only to be required to add salt! I have tried ALDI, Coles and Woolworths salted butter and my preference is for the Woolworths one, I find the ALDI one spits and spatters more, as though it has water in it. I...

    NSW government mulls electric appliance subsidy

    If we are all forced to go electric, just imagine the stress on the grid! The system wouldn't cope, power blackouts everywhere particularly in Summer when air conditioners are on and in Winter when electric heating is on. The whole thing is an absolute joke. Give me my gas hotplates and gas...

    Making this energy switch could save you $450 yearly

    Tragic twist: Clare Nowland's death exposes non-compliant facility post-alleged taser incident

    I totally agree with you BUT tasering an old lady is a step too far, there would most definitely have been a better way to diffuse the situation without getting trigger happy. I feel for all involved also, it's a real tragedy.

    Tragic twist: Clare Nowland's death exposes non-compliant facility post-alleged taser incident

    It is beyond belief that a police officer would use a taser on a 95 year old lady. Come on, really? What a big brave policeman. I hope he has the book thrown at him and of course dismissed from the force. We do NOT need people like him 'protecting' us thanks.

    This thrifty mum's ALDI trolley tip is a game-changer for forgetful shoppers

    Years ago I bought one of Aldi's tokens, it's on the keyring with my car keys so always have it. I often only shop with my car keys in hand and a credit card, no purse, so find this is definitely easier than looking for any change.
